UEFA were wary of the weather conditions ahead of the Group C clash, which is live on talkSPORT, so took action.3There is a possibility of thunder in Frankfurt, with the stadium roof already having been shut on WednesdayThe roof of the Waldstadion was shut on Wednesday ahead of Denmark’s players’ training session in the evening.With bad weather already having plagued Euro 2024, UEFA anticipated similar conditions on Thursday.The roof was then not reopened for the match as a ‘precautionary measure’.However, it seems to have caused some humidity in the stadium and that has started to affect the pitch. Speaking on talkSPORT commentary, Stuart Pearce said: “Big lumps of turf have already come up on this pitch.“There were concerns ahead of this game that the pitch had a tendency of tearing up. There are already a few pockmarks across the surface.“Hopefully this won’t be a running theme of this game. Kyle Walker has already lost his footing on a few occasions.”A severe weather warning was issued across the western and central regions of Germany on Wednesday.3Fans were forced to move out of the fanzones as impending storms forced their closureCredit: Getty3The summer sun has deserted fans out in Germany for much of the tournament so farCredit: GettyA number of fanzones across Dortmund, Dusseldorf and Gelsenkirchen were all closed due to the harsh conditions.Cologne also acted in accordance with the weather, as organisers released a statement explaining their actions.It read: “Due to an official storm warning from late morning with expected heavy rain, hail and heavy gusts of wind, all events and functions of the Host City Cologne associated with the European Championships being cancelled on Wednesday.”The necessary talks with the security partners were already held yesterday evening and the preparatory measures to secure the venues were initiated. The decision to cancel all events was made on Tuesday morning after further consultation with the German Weather Service.”Meteorologist Dominik Jung told German outlet BILD there had even been a potential ‘risk to life’ and that the closures were necessary to protect against every eventuality. “There is a risk to life,” he advised, speaking ahead of the fixtures that took place two days before England’s clash. “We don’t currently know every place that could get hit, but we do know the region where something could happen. “People will complain again: ‘We didn’t have anything.’ But better safe than sorry.”talkSPORT will bring you live commentary of EVERY game at Euro 2024.
