In Lyon too, which is quite warm in the summer. Lille wouldn't surprise me though as it basically has the same climate as Britain.

I think that was the match against Switzerland in Euro 2008.
I seem to recall one of the goals came when a pacey low cross stopped in a puddle in the six yard box.

It gets constant and evenly spread rainfall all year though, it doesn't have a Mediterranean climate, and the winters are rather chilly.

Scoreboard is there, just the timing is not.

It's back! Maybe the hailstones?
If Ireland win this, and Germany win later on, then it would be set-up for a draw suiting both of them in their last match together.

They've been lacking in home-grown talent for a while now, the likes of Shakhtar etc are loaded with Brazilian players, among others.
