There is a risk of flooding and temperatures once more are going to be in the 30s.

This could threaten Tuchel’s preparation for the match – but fortunately the action itself should be safe to continue.
Not only does the forecast for storms drop off around 36 hours before kick off (8pm UK time, 5pm for locals), but there is also a roof at the stadium.
England have already played in Atlanta during their last-32 win over DR Congo.
Argentina were there for the last-16 comeback against Egypt.

And both sides have had to be flexible on gameday already this tournament.
Argentina’s victory over Cape Verde in the knockouts was put at risk by storms.
Whereas England had their historic Mexico tie delayed by an hour due to wild conditions around the Azteca Stadium.
The weekend also brought worries that England’s Norway match would be set back as well due to stormy weather.
Fortunately, despite the American summer causing some issues at the World Cup, it has mostly run on time.
And the only thing that is likely to stop this semi from starting as scheduled is if there are problems with either team getting to the ground.
