Just seen this on the BBC - there is an issue with weather.

Keep an eye out - I've posted here for most traffic.

Didn't know there was a poll..

YABU keep it at 1am.

YANBU get a good nights sleep.

It doesn’t matter what time the game is played, England are not going to win. Which is a blessing really because it’s Argentina in the next round and England would be completely humiliated against Messi and co. Best to go out quietly 2-1 to Mexico

It’ll be Norway in the next round if England make it through.

Last updated 23:39, may well have updated again when others read it.

Screenshot is the top of the article.

“By George Goodfellow
BBC Weather
The rain radar seems to be showing the thunderstorms and rain currently affecting Mexico City should ease and move off over the next hour or so.
However, it does look as though further heavy showers are developing nearby and they could move into the vicinity of the stadium, so it'll be worth keeping an eye on things.
Might not be out of the woods yet.”

Either way spoiler alert...

...it's not coming home

more a rugby girl but this made me chuckle!

SemiRetiredLoveGoddeess · 04/07/2026 18:43

Oh! Yes it is
Oh! No it isnt.

You know pantomine refrain.

Just watched the BBC New about ten minutes ago. And rhey said the England match has been U turned back to the original time.

What a palaver!!!

I thought it had been changed back again? Apparently, England team pointed out the impact on fans who have tickets for the match but can't make alternative travel arrangements to accommodate a change of time at such short notice, which is something I admit I hadn't thought of
Doesn't matter from a results perspective what time it is; we are gonna get marmelised......

i dont think england has drawn a short straw
trying being cape verde and playing argentina
or scotland playing brazil
england have got through somehow but havent made it look easy.

I'm making comparisons to France, the world cup favourites, not other teams.

LuckyHazelFox · 04/07/2026 09:57

England have drawn the short straw. Meanwhile's France continue their easy run with Vancouever being their next venue.

No hope with the altitude, its brutal. Do feel sorry for England

Kick off is still 1am UK time. Apparently FIFA wanted to announce it on Friday but both Mexico and England weren’t happy with the proposed late change so FIFA have done a U-Turn and kept the original kick off time

They've done a Keir as we say now.

Messi and co have barely been able to beat Cape Verde tonight😭😂

Show quote history

Argentina were complacent because of the perceived quality of their opponents (I’m not taking anything away from CV, they were incredible!). But there is no way England in current form will be able to beat Argentina and a win against Mexico at that altitude is extremely unlikely.

I agree with a PP that this country has a seriously dysfunctional relationship with alcohol. Allowing pubs to open until 5am is madness. Sadly we know that incidents of domestic violence will increase after the game (DV cases always go up during the WC) as many ‘supporters’ will start drinking Sunday afternoon so literally 24 hours boozing. Not to mention the usual racial hatred that will spill out against the Black players in the England team.

@Eastie77Returns might not be Argentina!

It nearly wasn’t!! Cape Verde were amazing

MandemChickenShop · 04/07/2026 06:14

get in. pints at 4am on a Monday morning still and it's legit, government endorsed even. clearly no alcohol problem in this country!

HangryBrickShark · 04/07/2026 06:03

Yes I've just heard on the radio it will be the original time of 1am on Monday morning. The storm idea has been quashed apparently.

HoraceCope · 04/07/2026 05:55

a u turn
no 7 pm start for uk

NaturallyCuriousCat · 04/07/2026 05:46

This is confusing: so it's midnight tomorrow as originally planned?

It must be because I'm getting older but I just wondered what players do if they need the loo during a match
