England Manager Calls for Children to Be Allowed to Watch 1am World Cup Kick-Off
Tuchel says children should get special permission to watch England’s World Cup match as parents face a 4am finish if it goes to extra time.
- England manager Thomas Tuchel urged parents to allow children to watch the World Cup match against Mexico on Monday, suggesting they 'Write an excuse for school' due to the late 1am BST kick-off.
- The Three Lions reached the last 16 after a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over the Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday, with Harry Kane scoring twice. England now face co-hosts Mexico at the Azteca Stadium.
- Tuchel cited altitude as a decisive factor, stating 'The altitude will be a big disadvantage because we cannot physically adapt to it. We have only three days in between these matches.' Mexico has played all four World Cup matches at high altitude, including three at the Azteca Stadium and one in Guadalajara.
- Parents in England face a scheduling dilemma as the match could extend past 4am on Monday if extra time and penalties occur before a school day. Tuchel insists the team needs children's support during this global tournament.
- Tuchel emphasized 'the World Cup is every four years' to justify the late-night exception, arguing that England needs support from everyone, especially children, for the upcoming match against Mexico.
