Elsewhere in World Cup news, England’s World Cup last-16 match against Mexico will start at 1am BST on Sunday as originally scheduled after FIFA proposed moving the kick-off to an earlier time.
Due to thunderstorms in Mexico City, which are forecast around the time of the game, FIFA had considered switching the start of the match to 12:00 pm local time (7 pm BST on Sunday) in order to avoid significant delays.
Several outlets in Mexico reported on Friday night that the decision had been made.
However, FIFA remained silent despite widespread confusion among both teams and travelling England fans who had been based in the United States.
Mexico’s head coach, Javier Aguirre, was furious with FIFA’s proposal, claiming that he had not been consulted about the change and described the decision as a ‘kick in the stomach’.
FIFA maintain no decision was ever made to reschedule but a change in kick-off time was made due to the weather.
