FIFA considering earlier kickoff for Mexico vs. England at the World Cup due to
thunderstorm fears
By CARLOS RODRIGUEZ and JAMES ROBSON
MEXICO CITY (AP) --- The World Cup round of 16 match between Mexico and England
on Sunday could be moved to an earlier kickoff due to concerns about an
afternoon thunderstorm forecast in Mexico City.
FIFA is looking at the possibility of starting the game earlier than the
scheduled 6:00 p.m. at the Azteca Stadium, a person with knowledge of the
situation told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because no final decision has
been made.
Among the concerns for FIFA is the possible disruption caused by flooding.
The game will be Mexico City's fifth and final match of the World Cup.
