Watch a rain-drenched pitch wreak havoc with Texas derby in MLS

Forget what you heard about Tuesday nights in Stoke; Thursday night matches in Dallas are the stuff of nightmares, judging by this.

FC Dallas hosted the Owen Coyle-less Houston Dynamo in a Texas derby this week, but after just four minutes the match had to be delayed due to the heavy rain. 'A bit of rain never hurt anyone,' we hear you cry. Maybe not, but when you see the footage from the game, you'll probably understand why the game was postponed. Seriously, what is a footballer supposed to do in a situation like this? https://twitter.com/ScottyWK/status/738538683192610817 https://twitter.com/talkingbaws/status/738644716523278336 With the ball hardly running across the rain-drenched surface, we can't help but be reminded of Sunday league football in the depths of a British winter. Thankfully for those that had bothered turning up for the match, the game did go ahead later on in the evening with the teams sharing a 1-1 draw at Toyota Stadium. Fair play to the grounds staff.
