England’s World Cup last 16 match against Mexico on Sunday could be moved to an earlier kickoff time due to the risk of storms and flooding, a source close to the arrangements said.
It is believed football’s world governing body FIFA is holding discussions over moving the kickoff at the Estadio Azteca due to the risk of extreme weather.
The match is currently scheduled to kick off at 6:00pm local time.
