Did I mention I'd been on Eggheads?
Had a few pictures sent by friends who went to the Rev's game on Saturday night against Houston Dynamo.

The game (kick off 7.30pm) took nearly five hours to complete, thanks to two hours and 50 minutes of suspended play.

With dark clouds bearing down on the region and bolts of lightning growing increasingly closer to the stadium, the match was suspended in the 13th minute. The skies opened up shortly after, which led to a one-hour-and-forty-nine-minute delay. The game resumed at 9:40 pm.

The second delay occurred as the teams were about to hit the pitch for the start of the second half, and it would be an hour and one minute before they would resume play at 11:30 pm.

The Revs won 2-0 with one goal scored Saturday and the other Sunday!
