They wanted to make the Hondurans uncomfortable but they're almost as uncomfortable themselves. :russ:
Before the goal Weston McKennie was standing with his arms on his sides shivering.

:dead:


Edit: weather across Tampa/Orlando/Miami is a cool warm ~70'

:unimpressed:

Yeah it's ridiculous. No way should this game be played in these conditions. Hell even DC would be fine as it's only 45 here.

Nothing wrong with it. There's no storm out there. It's cold, just like it was cold on Sunday in Hamilton.

Great to see Celtic get the W over Rangers. 3-0, a thrashing at Parkhead. They've gone top of the league now, won five in a row and not lost since September. In that time their league record is 15 wins, 3 draws from 18 matches. Ange is doing it! @Fenian

meamwhile in Kingston, Jamaica is minutes away from being eliminated from the World Cup :francis:

It's a formality at this point. Too many emotional fans that got caught up in the "Wenger out, Ole out" culture got our manager ousted in the midst of a qualification cycle for someone who isn't better. We never making it back to the world cup unless they expand it to 100 teams.

The US really couldn't schedule these JAN/FEB games in warm weather like FL or TX? Federation is in shambles.


Why the hell would you schedule a game in Minnesota? It looks like Lambeau Field conditions out there.


This is beyond stupid
:mjtf:

The gamesmanship from USSF is terrible, no proper player actually wants to play in sub-zero degrees. you want mild weather, low humidity and a well-hydrated lawn

You go too far south and the risk of having too many Central American fans in the crowd supporting the other team.
Also ... Canada is top of the table killing everyone in the cold, you're not making sense here.

In the WC all teams will be playing in pitch-perfect conditions. No point in playing in sub-standard conditions for WCQ. If the USMNT is that much better than Honduras then a game in Miami at 75F even with deep Central American support shouldn't faze them.
