FIFA Club World Cup

[Curtis]

Chelsea match started 4 hours ago, now in extra time at 1-1.

The protocol is (apparently) that if there’s a lightning strike with 10 miles the game has to stop for 30 minutes. And that 30 minute clock resets with every flash of lightning. The Chelsea game was delayed for one hour 53 minutes and it should have been longer but they decided to abandon the protocol by eventually realising it’s ridiculous. As far as I know, not a drop of rain fell.

The next proper World Cup is being held at many of the same venues as this abomination of a tournament. Let’s hope the woke maga snowflakes get a grip before then and stop being scared of weather.

I see the Chelsea manager was rightly pissed off with it as well. Absolute shambles. They need to rethink their plans for the World Cup, or consider moving it to a proper country.

Just give the whole thing to Canada and Mexico. It’s best all round.

The rules will need to change before the World Cup. Not many fans stayed until the end in the stadium…..or viewers at home. Chelsea won in the end BTW.

Apparently there were only 4 minutes left of the Chelsea game when they decided to take the players off because of the scary black clouds 10 miles away.

This kind of weather is default across much of the southern USA this time of year, so it makes the WC games to be held in Atlanta and Miami at high risk of farce unless they grow a pair of nuts and not treat it like a nuclear strike is incoming when there's a bit of a rumble in the sky.

I find it incredible that they’re stopping games if a storm is detected within a certain mile radius. Full on mental.

You know we don't play games in thunderstorms here either mind? With the same 30 minute rule

Yes. It’s pathetic here too. But far less of an impact for fairly obvious reasons. You know that too mind?
