The kick-off time for England's match against Mexico has reportedly been moved forward, sparing fans a dreaded 1:00am Monday morning start. According to multiple Mexican publications, the game will now take place at 7pm on Sunday evening instead.
The decision was not made to benefit Three Lions supporters, but rather due to storm warnings issued around the original game time in Mexico City. The severe weather alerts could have led to delays, prompting officials to reschedule.
Storm Warnings Prompt Rescheduling
Reports from Mexico indicate that the storm warnings were a key factor in the decision to move the kick-off forward. The original late-night slot risked being disrupted by adverse weather conditions, potentially causing inconvenience for fans and logistical issues for organisers.
England fans at home had been bracing for a 1:00am start on Monday, which would have required an early pub trip. The new 7pm Sunday slot is expected to be much more convenient for viewers.
Good News for Three Lions Supporters
The change has been welcomed by England supporters, who now face a more manageable evening kick-off. While the move was driven by weather concerns, it effectively benefits the majority of fans watching from the UK.
This is a developing story, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
