Hello

I've just been reading about a football match in the Club World Cup in the US which was stopped with about 5 mins to go because of the "threat of a thunderstorm".

I know of golf matches which are stopped in the US because of the threat of lightning, which I can understand, but I've never heard of a football match being stopped because of rain.

I've also heard of motor races which are interrupted by rain in the US.

Is there some rule in the US about playing sports in rain which requires the sport to be stopped if it rains?

Sorry if this is a daft question!

Thanks.
