You'd be surprised. Ukraine v France at Euro 2012 was suspended for nearly an hour due to storms, and our friendly against Honduras in Miami in 2014 was suspended for about 40 minutes or so due to lightning.Never seen a game suspended for lightning before, that's a new one.

A Blackburn match was stopped after the lightning conductor tower was struck in the corner of the old stadium.
It came down like the scene in The Omen.
All the priests in the crowd were shaking.

Hugely disrespectful to lower league football that .
This was much worse
Teams with this kind of luck tend to do well though . Look at Portugal 2016

I've watched plenty of lower league football (including Northampton occasionally) and I know full well how good it is, I made the Accrington Stanley comment solely because of the old "Accrington Stanley, who are they?" meme.Hugely disrespectful to lower league football that .

I’ve said exactly the same tonight. We’re scraping by without playing well. Imagine what could happen.
Portugal, Greece both teams that didn’t play well when they won the competition

Just move on from the realisation that, after all these years, Southgates tactics are found to be dull. I want to share this.
If this was Liverpool, I would be asking serious questions. Especially surrounding the Sir Jim. The article even points out how ridiculous it seems that the club is cutting these jobs, despite at some point this summer, they will sign someone who will get the money saved by these cuts, in a weekly wage packet. I've pointed this out before. Billionaire's own these clubs, surely they can absorb a couple
250 people will be out of work. Whilst they try and find new employment. Manchester United will have their press people, creating Content on how amazing it is that this player has joined to club on big wages and at a price tag that is tens of millions. I'm sure they will feel very comforted that their redundancy, helped pay a small % of that fee.

Manchester United to cut 250 jobs to slash costs
Manchester United will cut 250 jobs as part of a determination to slash costs and scrap some "non-essential" activities.

The counter argument to this is that the club is over staffed, in positions that are not required wasting money. Ultimately we want to be successful on the pitch. We’re no longer generating enough profit to allow us to compete. Something had to give.

What is it actually saving, in the running of the multiillion profit earning Manchester United Football club? As the supporters keep telling us. The biggest club in world.
A club that not been shy in spending over a billion on players. God knows how much on wages and compensation for managers. But it's united. We all know the failure is due to a leaking roof. The
Truth is. It's an easy win for sir Jim. Selling failed players on big wages=hard. Sacking staff in positions around the club=easy. Like I've said above. Saving around £250,000 on staff wages is insufficient. Especially when a new super duper new talent comes through the door, earning £100,000 per week.
