But bad for the England team as it'll be mid-day in Mexico, not early evening. Meaning even higher temperatures than the 1am BST kick off we were expecting! I hope they are only thinking about it due to the expected thunderstorms and not due to pressure from the pub/leisure sector!

Temperature forecasts are 23°! It's going to be hotter in the UK.

Of more concern would be the decreased preparation time.

Is that so, really? It's a few hours not a few days, and what would they be doing in that time anyway? Not training, just talking.

Whether they win or lose will not be influenced by the change of start times on the same day.

FIFA doesn't give a toss about spectators or TV viewers, but a player being killed by lightning wouldn't be a good look.

Well it's not getting moved anyway, unless there's a thunderstorm, which would just see it moved later not earlier
