Mexico-England match delayed by lightning storm

The Mexico vs England match at the World Cup has been postponed to 19:00 due to a lightning storm. Mexico remains undefeated, while England seeks to overcome the high altitude of Estadio Azteca.

The game between Mexico and England, the most crucial match in Mexico’s 40‑year history, has been pushed back an hour to 19:00 after organizers activated the stadium’s lightning protocol. Mexico enters the match undefeated, having beaten South Africa, South Korea, Czech Republic and Ecuador while keeping a clean sheet, and they hope to replicate their 1986 quarter‑final run. England, the top‑scoring side in their group, aims to counter the challenge of 2,240 metres elevation and a packed Azteca crowd, with the winner set to face Norway, who defeated Brazil 2‑1. capturengo.com
