Belgium beat Tunisia and hail storm in Belgium

Belgium's final warm-up game before the World Cup was postponed after a severe hail storm forced players off the field.

Many people's choice as dark horses to succeed in Brazil were playing Tunisia at the King Baudoin stadium in Brussels when supercell thunderstorms erupted over north east Europe.

Hail stones the size of golf balls rained down on the pitch, eventually forcing players from both teams off after 24 minutes with the score still goalless.

The game was resumed after 40minutes once the storm passed.

Tunisia failed to qualify for the tournament, but were chosen as suitable opponents because their north African neighbours Algeria are in Belgium's group.





The two sides will meet in Belgium's opening game in Group H at the Estadio Mineiro, Belo Horizonte on June 17.
