RABAT, Morocco - The king of Morocco suspended the countrys sports minister of his duties for the Club World Cup on Friday and ordered an investigation into the state of the soccer field at Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat after heavy rain disrupted a match.Last Saturday, players from Mexican club Cruz Azul and Australian team Western Sydney Wanderers were slipping and sliding through pools of water on the field after a heavy downpour.The international players union asked FIFA for an investigation, describing the conditions as dangerous. Subsequent matches were moved to Marrakech.The state of the field has been seen as a national embarrassment after the entire complex had recently been upgraded at a cost of $25 million.The order by King Mohammed VI, which was issued in a palace statement carried by the state news agency, came after a week of uproar.Sports Minister Mohammed Ouzzine had faulted Spanish company Valtech for its work on the field. The company responded that it was a drainage issue and they had warned the field was not yet ready.Two of Ouzzines deputies directly involved with the stadium were already suspended by the minister himself, who declined to attend a parliamentary hearing over the incident.The suspension also means Ouzzine will not attend the final match in Marrakech as planned. The minister will continue to perform his other duties, however. Mason Schreck Jersey .

But the experienced Dutch coach admits that he is disappointed not to have taken the Blues further in the Champions League and the FA Cup.Hiddinks first stint as a caretaker at Stamford Bridge was a spectacular success in 2008/09, featuring just one defeat and victory in the FA Cup. He took over on an interim basis again in December, with the reigning champions struggling towards the foot of the table after a disastrous start to the campaign under Jose Mourinho. Guus Hiddink insists Chelseas players will take all their remaining games seriously Hiddink again masterminded a lengthy unbeaten run and has lifted Chelsea into the top half of the table, ahead of the visit of title-chasing Totttenham on Monday night, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7pm.ddddddddddddBut, on the other hand, Chelsea have only managed one Premier League home win since Hiddink was installed, went out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage and lost an FA Cup quarter final at Everton.Asked to mark his tenure out of 10, Hiddink said: Its difficult to give a figure. Im happy the team reacted when we were in a desperate situation, when people in this house started sweating, because there are experiences in the past where big clubs can go down as well.I came here in difficult circumstances. I had to restore the confidence and more in this team and club.From there on, Im satisfied with the reaction of the team.But Im not easily happy about myself.I wouldve loved to have gone into the next round of Champions League and the FA Cup final - if that had happened I would give myself a 10 plus. Chelsea were knocked out of the Champions League by PSG Chelsea will have influence at both ends of the table over the closing weeks as they could hand Leicester the title if they beat Spurs on Monday and then have games against Sunderland, Liverpool and Leicester themselves.And Hiddink says the squad have been informed that a below-par end to the campaign will not be well received.Weve had meetings about that, he said. They must finish it in an honourable way.
