It looks like it will be a repeat of last year’s final at the Copa America Centenario. After Argentina's comfortable win last night, Chile are almost there except they are battling not only Colombia but also the weather. Chile are up 2-0 a halftime but a violent thunderstorm has delayed the start of the second half. It seems like an odd thing to hear that a football match is in a "rain delay", something I never remember in Europe. But I know from experience that these summer North American thunderstorms can pack quite the punch. It is not weather to be out doing anything in. And it will be no fun for the spectators in Chicago who are probably all huddled in the walkways under the stands, it not even being safe for them to leave the stadium.
Right now, after a couple hours delay, at 10.30pm Chicago time it looks like it's about to resume. Hope it's not past the players' bedtime. But it's good night from me.
