Play due to resume in Philadelphia at 8pm - but no second-half hydration break. How will everyone cope?

[Oliver Holt @OllieHolt22]

Now saying 8pm start. A few small sections of the pitch look waterlogged. Groundstaff working on them with forks and squeegees

[Gerry Cox @GerryCox]

FIFA media officer has just announced at least 15 mins extra delay after HT because of ‘inclement weather’ here in Philadelphia. Maybe they can make up for lost time by skipping the pointless ‘hydration break’. No shortage of hydration out there right now.

Seating area at Lincoln Financial Field is being evacuated. Storm incoming.

First time weather impacts the World Cup as a weather warning issued at half time so there will be a delay to the 2nd half in Philadelphia with France leading 1-0.

At the tourney, I encountered a Chelsea scout I knew and asked him about #Messi, bearing in mind Chelsea then the richest club in the world with no fiscal rules to worry about. "We've been trying to get him out of Barcelona but they won't let him go at any price," he replied.

Three changes for France - Barcola, Kone and Digne start. Mbappe’s 100th cap - can he keep up with Messi’s strike rate?

Jeremy Doku will rejoin #Belgium squad in Seattle Tuesday night US Pacific time after flying to London to attend the birth of his son, Praise.

So after all the ridiculous criticism the #MCFC winger received from some commentators he won’t miss a game after all - not that he should have been rebuked for wanting to attend the birth of his first child whether he had missed a game or not!

Gabriel Martinelli on former Arsenal team-mate Kieran Tierney:

"He's my guy. He's one of the best guys I've met in football. He's so kind and so humble as well. So rapid! We used to joke who was the quickest in the sessions, in my opinion it was always him... I'm always cheering for him." ❤️
