England's World Cup time could be moved again as Norway clash faces disruption
Extreme heat and expected thunderstorms in Miami threaten to delay England’s World Cup quarter‑final against Norway, similar to the weather disruption that postponed their previous match with Mexico. FIFA protocols require postponement if lightning is detected nearby and mandate heat‑related safety checks, making further delays possible. England previously experienced comparable conditions in Florida, with Thomas Tuchel emphasising that such issues should not affect the team’s readiness.
