Five and a half hours that left England's World Cup tie in chaos

England's World Cup last-16 match against Mexico was delayed on Friday after Fifa initially moved the kickoff time, then reversed the decision hours later. The match was rescheduled from 1 p.m. local time to 10 p.m., then returned to the original 1 p.m. slot following backlash. The delay created uncertainty for fans, broadcasters, and teams for approximately five and a half hours before Fifa confirmed the original kickoff time would proceed.
