The match between France and Iraq was suspended at half-time due to a weather warning. Towards the end of the first half, rain began to pour down on the pitch at Philadelphia Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

FIFA and US authorities have decided ahead of the World Cup that matches will be suspended for at least half an hour if lightning strikes within a 13-kilometer radius of the stadium.

France currently leads 1-0 after a goal by star Kylian Mbappé.
