Just wondered what other people think is the right thing to do about matches suspended due to rain/storms etc.
Noticed yesterday the Europa League match between Estoril and PSV was abandoned at half-time with Estoril 3-2 up - and ONLY the second half will be played later today.
I think I'm right in saying that is not how it works in England, and if the 90 minutes is not completed the match is void and must be replayed in full.
Just seems bizarre that for the same sport there can be two such very different rules for this scenario between countries, potentially leading to very different outcomes.
