Talk in Mexico - where the news of a "change" did leak before a change has actually been confirmed, and is now in question - is that weather isn't the only concern, but also security given the public order issues around the Ecuador game.

@MiguelDelaney The proposed change in kick off time (to 7pm BST) seems remarkably convenient for securing a much bigger broadcast audience in the UK and Europe more generally. Total coincidence I’m sure.

@https_piercey @MiguelDelaney They don’t to secure a bigger audience. FIFA got paid for World Cup TV rights years ago for this World Cup, viewing figures are absolutely irrelevant
