XKEngland's match against Mexico in the Round of 16 of the World Cup faces potential postponement due to concerns over severe weather conditions. England secured their spot in this stage with a 2-1 victory over DR Congo on June 1, and they are now preparing to face Mexico at the iconic 'Estadio Azteca' in Mexico City on June 6. The high altitude of the stadium, located 2,240 meters above sea level, could pose challenges for players unaccustomed to such conditions. Both teams have had strong performances in previous matches, with Mexico winning all four of their games at the Estadio Azteca. Initially, there was confusion regarding the match time, as FIFA considered moving it earlier due to storm forecasts. However, after discussions between FIFA, the English Football Association, and Mexican football authorities, the match is currently scheduled to start at 02:00 local time. Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol noted that there is still an 80% chance of thunderstorms during the game, which could lead to delays, interruptions, or even a penalty shootout if the match cannot proceed under normal conditions.
