The weather between England and Mexico is not looking good. With less than 2 hours to go before the 1am BST/6pm start in Mexico, A “shelter-in-place order has been issued at Azteca Stadium” due to “severe weather.”
England’s World Cup qualifier could be delayed as fans, who were told to arrive two hours before kick-off, were warned to remain at the Azteca stadium.
Earlier today, experts predicted a 63% chance of thunderstorms around the Aztec. But it is not rain that could delay the match between England and Mexico, but lightning.
