England‑Mexico World Cup Match Delayed to 9 p.m. ET

The start of the round‑of‑16 game between England and Mexico was pushed back from 8 p.m. ET to 9 p.m. ET on Sunday as thunderstorms and lightning threatened the area around Mexico City Stadium. This is the second time the venue has had to delay a match because of extreme weather; a round‑of‑32 game between Mexico and Ecuador last Tuesday was also delayed an hour. afnews.co.za

England, the favorite with -140 odds, has reached the round‑of‑16 in each of the last two men's World Cups, while Mexico’s 2‑0 win over Ecuador secured its place after missing the round‑of‑16 in 2022. The match will air on FOX and FOX One.
