I’ve just been handed a Fifa statement:<\/p>\n

“Due to the adverse weather conditions and the risk of lightning in the vicinity of the stadium, the Fifa World Cup match between France and Iraq has been suspended.<\/p>\n

“A 30 minute break has been announced, however the situation is still being observed to determine if further delays are anticipated.<\/p>\n

“Fifa will follow the safety protocols established by the local authorities and the match will resume as soon as it is safe to do so.<\/p>\n

“The safety and security of all individuals is Fifa’s priority. We thank all fans for their understanding and co-operation.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
