Mexico vs England LIVE: Hosts breach FIFA rules before World Cup clash | Football | Sport

We’ve arrived at the Azteca Stadium after waiting in the media queue for an hour just to enter the vicinity.

It’s pretty hot right now: 22 degrees. Supposedly, per Met Office, rain isn’t due until 6pm local (kick-off time).

An important weather update, too: as it stands, no lightning is scheduled.

That could of course, change, but the Met Office and Apple currently do not forecast thunderstorms.

This information could be important for the fans staying up back home in England.

Remember, if a lightning strike is detected within an eight-mile radius, there will be an automatic 30-minute delay to play (from last lightning strike).

Furthermore, last night I was lucky enough to venture inside the empty Azteca to soak it all in.

This is a special venue for a special game, one that could prove to be one of England’s biggest away victories, touchwood, in their entire history.
