A World Cup match was recently delayed due to weather conditions. The game between France and Iraq was paused for over two hours at halftime. Heavy rain and thunderstorms prompted the delay, which occurred in Philadelphia.

This delay is notable as it is the first weather delay of the tournament. It is also the first time in several decades that a World Cup match has been delayed midgame due to inclement weather. Further details about the delay and its impact on the game are available from the source, KPRC 2 Houston.
