Yep, big cock up. They knew this was very likely to happen a day or more ago. Should have gone for the earlier time. No guarantees of course, but they could be playing when people are having their breakfast in the morning here. I jokingly said to my friend, prepare for a 6am finish here, doesn't seem quite as big a joke now! |  | | |

That’s a shock. The thing people said would happen two days ago has happened | | | |

That would have been unfair on the fans travelling to the stadium. Think one of the key reasons it wasn't moved is many weren't arriving until after 7pm BST so would have missed at least some of the match. There have been a lot of supporters who have understandably been vocal on here about TV being treated more importantly than match going fans on here. Moving the game would have been an example of it. | |

FIFA wanted to move the KO time but both teams objected. |  |

To add, looking at the weather forecast, more storms are expected at 8pm local time. So we might get through the first half, but the second half will be delayed.
If they push back kick off again we will be possibly looking at a 6am BST finish, if not later. [Post edited 6 Jul 0:56]

This is probably what you get when you organise a tournament in countries that are infamous for super storms at the precise time of year the tournament is on. Actually been fairly fortunate thus far, might not keep like that. Maybe FIFA have got their eyes set on a tournament in Scandinavia in January! | | | |

Thought I’d catch the first half at Toronto airport. Might catch about 5 mins | | | |

Definitely please don't, England players are far more likely to be adversely impacted by added minutes than the Mexicans, who have prior altitude acclimatisation. |  |

I decided against the tactical nap around 9pm but wish I had taken it now. | |

Come on guys, we are talking about the "Land of the free and the home of the brave"
That is if you like paying through the nose plus 15% and have a kalashnikov handy. | | | |

Me too 
Filled in time with booking a groceries delivery for Tues, taking dog out, last resort now in keeping myself awake is writing a lengthy, boring email to someone that I've been putting off for weeks, lying to myself that I didn't have time ... | |

I’ve never heard Mexico described as the land of the free. | |
