Mexico vs England World Cup last-16 delayed by an hour due to stormy weather
The Mexico vs England World Cup round-of-16 match at the Azteca Stadium has been delayed by an hour because of storms. Mexico has won all four previous matches without conceding a goal.
The highly anticipated World Cup last-16 clash between co-hosts Mexico and England in Mexico City has been delayed by one hour due to stormy weather. The match was scheduled to take place at the iconic Azteca Stadium, the scene of Diego Maradona's infamous "Hand of God" goal 40 years ago.
England, managed by Thomas Tuchel, have had a rocky journey to this stage. They opened with a thrilling win over Croatia, followed by a draw against Ghana, a hard-fought victory over Panama, and a scare against DR Congo in the round of 32.
Mexico, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence after winning their first four World Cup matches without conceding a single goal – a feat achieved previously only by Brazil in 1986 and Italy in 1990. This is Mexico's final game on home soil at the Azteca, and they aim to leave with a prestigious victory over England.
