We now have to take shelter.
For the first time, there is a severe thunderstorm that is approaching here in Philadelphia.
We will keep you updated as to when this match can resume.
HT: France 1-0 Iraq
Ah. Fans have been told to take shelter in the Philadelphia Stadium because of incoming severe weather.
HT: France 1-0 Iraq

France 1-0 Iraq
There's the whistle. Just that one Kylian Mbappe goal the difference.
Will the storm stay away long enough to see this one out?
France 1-0 Iraq

Iraq are second best by a distance but they are not really cowered by it, they keep playing their football.
France 1-0 Iraq

Zidane Iqbal has really stood out in this first half against top level quality. Technically secure, slowing down the game through clever feints, punchy short passes and accurate, looping long ones to the forwards up top. Has put in a defensive shift too.

France are obviously very comfortable in this game, but I want to be entertained. They're trying to walk it in. Take some shots please!

Stephen Warnock
Former England defender on BBC One at Philadelphia Stadium
Iraq have started to carry a threat. They are starting to find a way out. Now it's about whether they can create an opportunity?
France 1-0 Iraq
The free-kick is swung out to the right-hand side but comes to nothing.
We'll have three minutes added on at the end of this half.
France 1-0 Iraq
Into the last minute of the first half of normal time as Iraq win a free-kick.
France 1-0 Iraq
Stephen Warnock
Former England defender on BBC One at Philadelphia Stadium
We can no longer see the city. It has completely disappeared in the distance. It is not stopping the crowd, they love it. The volume has gone up inside the stadium.
France 1-0 Iraq

The rain is properly coming down. Lots of fans are now wearing ponchos. The skies above are dark, very dark.
Remember, if lightning is detected within eight miles of the stadium, the game will pause for 30 minutes and fans escorted to safe areas.
France 1-0 Iraq
Pat Nevin
Former Scotland winger at Philadelphia Stadium
Hussein Ali has made a great first tackle and then an absolutely brilliant second.
That was magnificent defending because Kylian Mbappe was away there after his first beautiful piece of skill.
France 1-0 Iraq
Stephen Warnock
Former England defender on BBC One at Philadelphia Stadium
The defending is exceptional because of the movement from Kylian Mbappe... Hussein Ali just does enough. Iraq have done extremely well to thwart France at times.
France 1-0 Iraq
Oh my word. A ridiculous turn from Kylian Mbappe and injection of pace to almost score what would have been an incredible solo goal.
Hussein Ali just does enough to prevent the shot being a dangerous one.
France 1-0 Iraq
Stephen Warnock
Former England defender on BBC One at Philadelphia Stadium
Iraq wanted a foul, but Adrien Rabiot wins the ball. Kylian Mbappe has the vision, but not the execution to find the back of the net.
I thought it was getting lighter the rain. It has just picked up again.
France 1-0 Iraq
Zidane Iqbal gets a word in the ear from the referee after a late challenge on Manu Kone.
France 1-0 Iraq
Pat Nevin
Former Scotland winger at Philadelphia Stadium
Players will be relieved by the rain, it's a lovely feeling as long as you don't get the thunder and lightning with it as well.
It will cool them down and it will change the game because the ball will zip across the surface much better.
France 1-0 Iraq
Now it's like being in Manhester, Neil.
Anyway, on we go. Kylian Mbappe tries his luck from the half-way line but it sails over the bar.
France 1-0 Iraq
