The second-half cooling break in France v Iraq was scrapped after a lengthy weather stoppage at the World Cup. According to L'Équipe, the match had been halted for more than two hours because of a risk of thunderstorms.

Although mid-half cooling breaks have been standard across this tournament, the pause was removed for the second period following the extended interruption after half-time on Monday.

Play resumed at around two am in France, which was eight pm in Philadelphia.

The pitch was soaked and players had lost the rhythm of the opening period.

Before the restart, all participants warmed up again on the pitch. The fixture counts towards matchday two of the group stage.
