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.

That ok?

I disagree for no reason than I don't like football (but i would like england to win)

Been confirmed apparently. Crafy move, it will be in the scorching heat, better the later kick off!

It’s not due to be thst hot for an earlier kick off low twenties and cloudy.

You read wrong.

It’ll be 20° instead of 26°

Oops! Thanks.

I guess there won’t be any need now-bad luck!

Bad luck's on them, they've said it + too late to unsay it.

I am relieved at not having to work from 6am sunday all the way to 5am Monday.

I think @MellowZebra was right.

How the hell can anyone do that? I mean, I can last c20hrs on no sleep, but I'm basically "punch-drunk" after that.

That, and a load of musical instruments and fireworks outside your hotel window...🤷🏻‍♀️

Let's hope they have earplugs.

Too much to expect the Mexican police to do anything about it! Hopefully they'll stay in a different hotel.

JoshLymanSwagger · 03/07/2026 21:38

Just remember that Norway take on Brazil at 9pm (uk equivalent KO time) and I'd love Norway to win.

Busy day now - DH will watch or sleep thru the F1 and I'll be watching the Womens T20 World Cup final between England and Australia.

Go have a look at the weather forecast and come back to me.

The tabloids will be upset. If the display today at Sainsbury’s news stand is anything to go by, they were positively salivating at the prospect of an all night, beer fuelled football party, and zombie kids causing havoc at school on Monday.

Pubs might still be allowed to stay open late.

Please don’t deny Starmer one last ‘U’ turn 😂

HoraceCope · 03/07/2026 21:58

7 00 would be far better for all of england, schools/pubs/police

I was in Bergen the other day when Norway played France. The locals were amazing, and so good natured in defeat. I hope they win too.

Tryingtokeepgoing · 03/07/2026 22:01

Although given the altitude I imagine the sooner after they arrive in Mexico they play the better their performance, from an English players perspective, as generally the advice for sportspeople is get there just before the event, or allow 10/14 days to acclimatise to the altitude. As they can’t do the latter then an earlier kick off should be better. That and dodging the storms of course :)

GoneWithTHeWindJammers · 03/07/2026 22:08

It will be warmer here. Move the game to Wembley.

FatEndoftheWedge · 03/07/2026 22:09

Mexico has only lost twice in their stadium

GoneWithTHeWindJammers · 03/07/2026 22:12

Bad luck if you are Mexican and have a ticket for the game and have to work Sunday.

Englandkit · 03/07/2026 22:12

FatEndoftheWedge · 03/07/2026 22:09

Not surprised, given that most teams don’t normally play 2000m above sea level and will struggle. I think England are screwed, unfortunately.

the80sweregreat · 03/07/2026 22:15

I know it sounds like sour grapes blah blah, but why choose such a venue for any team ? It seems unfair if you’re not Mexico! I think England are screwed, but they have to go out and do their best. They must know they are the underdogs here!

I think it’s because Mexico is a joint host and this is their iconic stadium, and the last game to be played outside the US (iirc). To be fair, Mexico has a greater football pedigree than either the US or Canada, so it’s fair they should play on home turf as a host nation. It’s just very hard on any opponent.

Netcurtainnelly · 03/07/2026 22:57

Hope so.

We have spent £250 on going to our first gig as a family. We never go out on a Sunday evening. Now what?? The venue isn't even in England.

You go to your gig

Please please let them do this!!
