I heard on the radio that Mexican tv has reported due to thunderstorms forecast for Monday morning that fifa is looking to bring forward englands game by six hours . So 7pm Sunday night

Yet to be confirmed . Or could be the biggest wind up by Mexican tv

Looks like the weather gods are not on our side again. If those thunderstorms hit as predicted, shifting the kickoff makes total sense to keep things safe for the players. Still, six hours is a massive change for fans who've already sorted their schedules and pubs. Fingers crossed England adapts quick and doesn't let it throw off the rhythm.

Anyone know if the players were prepped for potential switches like this? Mexico might see it as an advantage but our lads have dealt with worse disruptions before. Could be a wild one either way.

Mexican media stirring the pot as usual or is this legit? Bringing it forward might dodge the worst of the rain but it screws over the evening viewing parties everyone was planning. The team better not be caught off guard by the timing shuffle.

On the bright side, maybe we'll catch it during a more reasonable hour for some. Wonder how the betting markets are reacting to this chaos already. Game on regardless!

Thunderstorms forcing an early start? That's football for you, always at the mercy of Mother Nature. Mexico probably loves the idea since it might tire England out differently. Hope the ref and officials get their heads around the new slot without any drama.

Remember that time weather messed up a qualifier? These changes can spark some mad energy in the squad. Let's see if they turn it into a positive and smash it early :D

Not sure about this one. Six hours earlier sounds extreme when forecasts can change overnight. If it's to protect everyone then fair enough, but feels like it could backfire with tired legs and rushed prep. England need to stay sharp no matter when it kicks off.

Bit of a tangent but does this mean more daytime drinking for the supporters there? Could be entertaining to watch the crowd reactions. Either way, come on Three Lions!

Heard similar rumors floating around but taking Mexican TV at face value is risky business. FIFA loves last-minute calls though, so it wouldn't shock me. Early game might actually suit us better with less pressure building up all day.

Jokes aside, hope the boys get proper rest and don't get hit with any travel hiccups. This tournament's throwing curveballs left and right already. What a ride ;)
