Summary

The article reports that UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer played a role in convincing FIFA not to change the kick-off time for the England vs Mexico World Cup match at the Azteca, fearing an altitude disadvantage. England went on to win 3-2, with Jude Bellingham scoring twice and Harry Kane adding a penalty. Despite Starmer's efforts, a rainstorm caused a one-hour delay anyway.
