The World Cup last-16 match between Mexico and England was delayed by one hour due to adverse weather conditions, according to SABC Sport.

England's World Cup last-16 match against Mexico is expected to be rescheduled to an earlier kick-off time of 19:00 BST on Sunday, according to Capital FM Sports. FIFA is reportedly in discussions regarding this change.

Mexico will face England in the round of 16 at the World Cup, marking a significant opportunity for the team to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in 40 years. The match will take place at the Estadio Azteca, a venue where Mexico has not conceded a goal during this tournament, highlighting its reputation as a stronghold for the team, according to AP.

Dozens of Mexican fans gathered outside the England national team’s hotel in Mexico City, armed with loudspeakers, horns, and fireworks, in an attempt to disrupt the players' sleep ahead of their World Cup round-of-16 match against Mexico. This gathering occurred despite police blockades and continued into the early hours of Sunday morning, as the England team arrived at the JW Marriott hotel in Santa Fe.

Mexico is aiming to reach the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time in 40 years, relying on a significant home-field advantage. The team faces England in a crucial round of 16 knockout match, which is considered one of the most important in the nation's soccer history. Brazil will also compete against Norway in another match on the same day.
