FIFA’s Stormy Schedule Change Called Off | MLS News
Description
Mexico vs England World Cup clash set for Sunday at Estadio Azteca—still at 6 PM local time despite wild rumors of a midday shift to dodge storms. FIFA reportedly considered the change but failed to notify either federation, sparking chaos and confusion among fans. The move would’ve meant a 7 PM UK start, but with no official heads-up, travelers and supporters scrambled. Critics questioned why similar weather concerns weren’t addressed for scorching Philly matches. After heated talks, FIFA backed off—sticking to the original schedule, though lightning delays remain a real possibility.
