Well, if they're playing in Sofia, weather.com says it's 18 degrees with snow, so I can imagine the pitch being a problem... http://www.weather.com/outlook/trav...e=sofia, bulgaria&lswa=WeatherLocalUndeclared
Rain? The match was being played in Cyprus. Torrential rain caused the pitch to flood causing the match to be abandoned at half time. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=78433&cc=5901
