After facing Portugal at the Estadio Banorte, the Mexican national team is preparing to play against Belgium in the United States. Surprisingly, just minutes before the match was set to begin, social media erupted with concern over the weather conditions that could delay its start. Some videos online show that a strong storm has been hitting Chicago for the past few hours, especially at Soldier Field, where the match will take place. According to reports, the rain has stopped momentarily but is returning gradually, combined with a temperature of five degrees Celsius. Will the Mexico vs. Belgium match be postponed? While there has been no official statement on the matter yet, authorities are monitoring the weather's evolution, concerned it could develop into an electrical storm. It is worth remembering that the protocol in this situation requires the referee to stop or postpone the action for at least 30 minutes, followed by a new assessment to determine if a new time is set or the game is canceled. This practice has already been seen in the United States, during the Club World Cup, and could be repeated this time, avoiding putting the players of both teams and the fans in the stadium at risk. Finally, we can note that the stadium gates have already been opened and the entry of several fans has been registered, as a large turnout is expected despite it being a midweek game. Returning to the sporting side, this match represents one of the final tests for Javier Aguirre and his selected players. The last result against Portugal generated discontent among a sector of the fanbase, and this seems to be the perfect opportunity to strengthen ties before the start of the 2026 World Cup.
