British media reacted swiftly to reports that the Mexico‑England round‑of‑16 fixture could be moved to a midday kickoff. Commentators highlighted the disadvantage for both sides, especially England, which faces a 16‑team match against Congo only a day after the Mexico game, leaving limited recovery time.

local time.
