Germany vs USA goes ahead despite TWO MONTHS' worth of rainfall in one night
The
decisive World Cup clash between Germany and the USA will be played
despite two months’ worth of rainfall hitting Recife in one night.
Flash
floods have transformed the streets into a apocalyptic scene, as 42,000
supporters attempt to navigate their way to the Estadio Pernambuco,
with fans deserting their vehicles and walking miles to make it in time
for kick off on Thursday evening.
As
things stand, FIFA insist that the match will go ahead and Uzbekistani
referee Ravshan Irmatov has inspected the pitch and passed it fit to
play ahead of the game between Jurgen Klinsmann’s US outfit and his
native Germany.
Stadium
officials decided the conditions do not place supporters in danger,
despite the deluge showing little sign of easing up as kick off
approaches.
The
path leading directly to the stadium is clear but the challenge facing
supporters is to break through the gridlock in the city that is slowing
down access.
A
draw will take both sides through to the knockout stages but defeat for
the USA could hand an opportunity for Portugal or Ghana, who play at
the same time in Recife, to capitalise and earn a place in the next
round.
Ghana’s
plans for this evening’s decisive World Cup clash against Portugal have
been catapulted into chaos after two players – Sulley Muntari and Kevin
Prince Boateng – were suspended indefinitely and ordered home.
