- Norway vs. Brazil at New York New Jersey Stadium on July 5 (4 p.m. ET) is a high-stakes round-of-16 clash — Vinícius Júnior and Brazil’s title chase vs. Erling Haaland and Norway’s upset bid make it a must-watch.
- Forecast: about 83°F with scattered thunderstorms and a high ROWI (risk of weather impact), so fans should expect possible interruptions.
- If lightning is detected within eight miles play is suspended and a 30-minute countdown starts (reset by new strikes), meaning delays can last hours — France vs. Iraq had a two-hour suspension recently, Mexico vs. Ecuador saw a one-hour delay.
