According to the report I heard, the hail was so bad that the players

had to shelter their eyes with their hands. Even if it wasn't unsafe

(which it sounds as though it might have been), it would have been

impossible to play proper football in those conditions. I understand

that the match soon resumed after the conditions improved, which seems

fair enough.
