Bad news from the World Cup: the England-Mexico spectacle has been postponed?

An upcoming World Cup quarterfinal match between Mexico and England was scheduled to take place late at night in Croatia time. However, concerning weather reports from Mexico indicate potential delays. The game was planned to be held at the iconic Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, but severe weather conditions, including heavy rain, lightning, and thunder, have already triggered a safety protocol. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) guidelines, matches must be paused if lightning is detected within eight miles (approximately 13 kilometers) of the stadium. The situation remains uncertain, as repeated lightning strikes could cause prolonged delays. The outcome of the match will depend on the development of weather conditions leading up to the start.
