A predicted storm with heavy rainfall could lead to a rescheduling of the World Cup Round of 16 match between Mexico and England.

The encounter in Mexico City is currently scheduled for Monday, 2:00 AM CEST. According to media reports from both countries, FIFA is currently considering moving the kick-off time to Sunday, 8:00 PM CEST.

According to this, the storm is expected to arrive an hour before the currently planned kick-off in the Mexican capital and could last up to two hours.

Mexico's Round of 32 match against Ecuador (2-0) had already been delayed by an hour due to a storm over the Azteca Stadium.

A final decision has not yet been made, but is expected soon.
