  • Thunderstorms have struck Mexico City hours before England's World Cup match against Mexico, scheduled for a 1am UK time kick-off.

  • ​A shelter in place order was issued before the Mexico v England World Cup last-16 clash ⁠due to thunderstorms in the area around the Azteca Stadium, FIFA said on Sunday. People working on the pitch ⁠were asked to ​move into ⁠the tunnel while a message on the stadium screen ⁠warned that severe weather was approaching ​the ⁠venue.
  • Although no delay is currently suggested, play cannot commence until 30 minutes after lightning is detected within an eight-mile radius, following a previous match delay.
  • Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer expressed confidence in England and noted extended pub licensing for fans, while supporters acknowledged the challenges of playing at the high-altitude Estadio Azteca.
