NYC flooding horror brings travel chaos just as 80,000 set out for World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium

New York has been hit by heavy floods ahead of the World Cup final, leaving hundreds of fans at risk of missing the showdown, as the United States battles the conditions for one final time this tournament.

Spain and Argentina will face off in the final of the competition this evening, with the game to be held at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, roughly five miles from New York City.

Much of the focus at the tournament has been on the weather, with France and England both seeing games delayed due to nature - be it extreme heat or lightning warnings.

And, for one final time, doubt has been cast over the kick-off time of the final this evening, which is set for 3pm ET (8pm BST).

The streets of New York were flooded on the eve of the tournament's finale, with heavy rain causing mayhem. Cars were submerged and pedestrians were seen walking through chest-high water.

Between two and four inches of rain are said to have fallen, with a tornado warning also issued.

Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.
Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
