What's happening with the match?
The match between Norway and Brazil is scheduled for 22:00 Norwegian time on Sunday, but there are rumors that it may be rescheduled to 23:00. The Mexican federation confirmed on Friday evening that they were in dialogue with FIFA about rescheduling their round of 16 match against England.
Why is it uncertain?
It is uncertain whether the match will be rescheduled due to weather conditions or due to the rescheduling of the England match. NRK writes that they have information that a rescheduling of Norway-Brazil will be related to the rescheduling of the England match, and not the weather.
What do the experts say?
Pedro Ivo Almeida in Brazilian ESPN writes that part of the Fifa leadership spoke with TV channels with rights in Mexico and England about changing the match schedule, but that this met with resistance from them and the involved national teams.
