England's World Cup time could be moved again as Norway clash faces disruption
Extreme heat and thunderstorms in Miami threaten to delay England’s 2026 World Cup quarter-final against Norway, with forecasts indicating temperatures feeling as high as 43C and potential lightning near the stadium. FIFA procedures require postponements if lightning is detected or if wet‑bulb globe temperature readings deem conditions unsafe. A similar delay occurred during England’s previous match against Mexico, and officials warn another disruption remains possible.
