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
