England supporters say they will wait “as long as it takes” after the start of their World Cup match against Mexico is delayed due to severe weather in Mexico City. According to the reports, thunderstorms affect conditions in the area, prompting FIFA to postpone the kick-off. The delay extends the evening for fans already at or near the venue, with the revised start time set for 2am UK time. Coverage focuses on fans’ reactions, with supporters expressing willingness to remain until play can safely begin rather than leaving or disrupting the event. While the accounts are brief, they are consistent in describing the cause of the postponement—thunderstorms—and the practical impact, namely that the match does not begin as originally scheduled. FIFA’s decision is presented as a response to the weather-related risk, and the delay is framed as an adjustment to ensure the match can proceed under safer conditions. The reports do not describe changes to team plans beyond the delayed start time.
