Roof to remain open

The retractable roof of Warsaw's national stadium will be opened for the remaining games of Euro 2012, UEFA said on Saturday, saying a much criticised decision to close it for the tournament's opening game was due to a thunderstorm.
Polish media and officials have complained that the humid atmosphere in the stadium contributed to a poor second half performance by the co-hosts.
"For sure it cost them a lot in that sauna," Polish coach Franciszek Smuda told reporters after training on Saturday.
"I could feel on the bench that it was hot, the conditions were very difficult. I think for the Russian game (on Tuesday), the roof will be open."
A spokesman for UEFA said: "The roof will be open for the remaining matches taking place in Warsaw unless there are exceptional weather circumstances," UEFA spokesman Robert Faulkner told Reuters.
