World Cup 2026 fears as weather expert warns England stars to prepare for lengthy suspensions
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ENGLAND stars have been warned to prepare for frequent delays at the 2026 World Cup as extreme weather wreaks havoc at the Club World Cup. Chelsea's last-16 win over Benfica took almost FIVE HOURS to complete after the match was suspended due to "the risk of lightning in the vicinity of Bank of America Stadium". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Fears are growing over the 2026 World Cup as extreme weather wreaks havoc at the Club World Cup. 4 Extreme weather has disrupted the first two weeks of the Club World Cup It was the sixth game of the tournament that has been suspended because of seasonal summer thunderstorms, with players, staff and fans pulled indoors for two hours. Both teams were forced to keep fresh on training bikes in the dressing rooms, while fans were kept into the concourse, with the Blues 1-0 up with four minutes remaining thanks to Reece James' free-kick. When it finally restarted, Angel Di Maria equalised with a controversial stoppage-time penalty to take the game to extra-time, only for Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to seal Chelsea's win. Maresca slammed it was "a joke" and said the US is "not the right place to do the competition" after the match lasted four hours and 39 minutes in Charlotte and finished at 01:39 BST on Sunday.

National Weather Service official Ben Schott, who advises Fifa and the US World Cup taskforce for 2026, says teams should plan accordingly. A recent study published by the International Journal of Biometeorology warned of the risk posed by extreme heat for players and spectators. The study concluded that 14 of the 16 host cities being used for the World Cup experienced temperatures that frequently exceeded the commonly accepted safe thresholds for wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) -- a widely used measure for heat stress. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS The study argued for games to be scheduled outside of the afternoon windows when conditions were typically at their most fierce. England don't have the best history - or experience - of performing well in extreme heat. 4 Thomas Tuchel is already preparing for the extreme weather at the 2026 World Cup Chelsea vs Benfica SUSPENDED with just five minutes left as referee takes players off due to severe lightning storm But ESPN reported on Tuesday that Thomas Tuchel has used artificial pitchside tents with heaters inside to recreate the temperatures they will likely face next June. While roasting heat was an issue when the US last hosted the World Cup in 1994, no games at that tournament were halted by storm warnings because the technology hadn't been created by then. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund left their substitutes in the dressing room for the first-half of their game against Mamelodi Sundowns in Cincinnati, rather than have them sitting out in the sunshine last week. And Maresca cut short his team's training session in Philadelphia on Monday as the City of Brotherly Love baked in temperatures of 38C. Dortmund coach Niko Kovac, meanwhile, said the weather could ultimately shape the destiny of the Club World Cup. Kovac said: "I think that this tournament will be decided not by the best team, but the team that can adapt to these weather conditions the best. They will probably win this tournament" On Tuesday, Boca Juniors' game against Auckland City was also delayed due to public safety regulations as lightning struck within 10 miles of a stadium. A weather delay in Benfica's game against Auckland led to an interruption in play of nearly two hours last week. Fifa confirmed that a drinks break to give players the chance to take on fluids and cool down will take place at 30 minutes and 75 minutes if needed.

EXCLUSIVE Revealed: Why Premier League clubs are ready to spend big on transfers THIS WEEK - with Man United set for positive conclusion in race for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo
The transfer window is set to hot up this week - following the arrival of the new reporting year under the Premier League 's financial rules. Mail Sport understands that a number of clubs have deals on hold until they can register the spend on 2025-26's accounts rather than 2024-25. This year's window has, so far, been slow-paced with relatively few high-profile moves aside from Liverpool 's £116m swoop for Florian Wirtz and Manchester United 's £62.5m capture of Wolves ' Matheus Cunha. Manchester City have been the most active, with Pep Guardiola undertaking a flurry of activity ahead of the Club World Cup as he seeks to rebuild his squad. However, that situation is now likely to change, with sides already at the limit on this year's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) hanging fire until Tuesday. Many do not want to fall foul of the regulations, which can result in the ultimate sanction of points deductions. Meanwhile, sources have disclosed that United's pursuit of Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo is set to lead to a positive conclusion. United have lodged two failed bids for the Cameroonian forward, the last of which was £55m plus £7.5m in add-ons. It is understood that the Bees believe 25-year-old Mbeumo is worth more than Cunha, a theory they believe is backed up by statistics from his time in west London. Mbeumo scored 20 goals to Cunha's 15 last season, and seven assists to the Brazilian's six. United feel they have offered a fair price, but the player has told his club he wants to move to Manchester and a breakthrough is the expected outcome, according to those with knowledge of the situation.

Beyond the acts: Glastonbury Festival after dark in pictures
Beyond the big acts and stages, there is much more to Glastonbury Festival – a place peppered with art installations, unique bars and random festival has a Dragon's Tail for people to find, wood-top walks and hillside views, as well as campfires and late-night so much on offer, we take a look at Glastonbury after dark. What a night in Glasto's 'Naughty Corner' looks likeGlastonbury 'appalled' by Bob Vylan IDF commentsRed Arrows fly over Glastonbury as Pulp performFood, fire crews and solar stages: The people of Glasto What a view: People who make the climb up to the Glastonbury sign are rewarded with sprawling views of the festival site. The dragonfly: Arcadia is one of the festival's most popular late-night venues. Its dragonfly, made from an old helicopter, made its debut at the festival in 2024. Flames and lasers: While acts perform from the head of the dragonfly, festival-goers are treated to a sensory display of fire and lights. On a dark, dark night in a dark, dark wood: Nestled on the north side of the festival is Woodsies - a nature-rich sanctuary with a platform high up in the trees Impromptu performances: During a night-time wander, festival-goers are likely to come across a number of astounding street performers. The magic of the woods: People take a stroll along the bridge through the tree-top canopy. Part of the woodland has interactive elements, with instruments people can play as they walk. The South East Corner: The so-called 'naughty corner' is a place where festival-goers can continue the party until when the sun comes up and beyond. It is filled with quirky instillations, including these lit-up paper trees. The Unfairground: This is a popular late-night area full of the weird and sometimes downright scary. Monsters in the night: An installation at the Unfairground, in Glastonbury's South East Corner. The Dragon's Tail: The 40m (131ft) dragon installation is made of stained glass and attracts old and young festival-goers alike. The Rum Shack: A glowing beacon of the South East Corner, the venue is one of Glastonbury's essential after-hours destinations. An angel: These rainbow wings are a big attraction for little angels at the festival. Oh I do like to be beside the seaside: Glastonbury may be miles from the coast, but it has its own pier with plenty of entertainment. The Glade: Just off the festival's railway track sits the Glade area, which sees DJs play long into the night and early hours. The Stone Circle: Many festival-goers will end their night at the Stone Circle, perhaps even staying to watch the sun rise around the campfire.
