No suggestion that World Cup final can’t go ahead

There is no suggestion for now that the World Cup final won’t go ahead as planned.

Argentina take on Spain in New York on Sunday, and the BBC’s report states that the air quality should improve by later today anyway.

The only disruption we can expect is the somewhat unusual extended half time break, which will be 25 minutes instead of the standard 15 minutes.
