The US is going to get a result against Portugal. Just need to 100% beat Ghana. I think Ze Germans are going to win the group with the US coming 2nd.

The US has played in Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Cuba, Jamaica, and in the Caribbean Islands, they know what to expect. No doubt in my mind that Portugal feels the conditions more by halftime. US gon win.

I think we're well suited to play in humidity, as others have said our league season is played in summer and most of the country gets significant humidity in the summer, not just the south

Well duh they are not acclimated to it

btw it was 86/30 maybe a little more which is basically only seen for about a month in most of europe. It was around 90% humidity at kickoff

Good thing the match was played in the evening b/c it was even hotter earlier in the day and if at kick off it was 32 by FIFA rules they would have mandatory water breaks.

Your article doesn't even say how hot and humid it was talk about shoddy journalism being used to push an agenda.

This. The weather is to our advantage, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make.



probably not that big b/c how many teams play in extreme humid climate

saw this on the comment section so they weather is very similar to the SE but other than Houston who else plays in weather like Manus.

No im just pointing out a dishonest article bashing Italy and England.

But yes hopefully this helps us for Portugal but most the MLS doesn't play in crazy humid weather and our euro bases players have issue during the qualifiers even more.

Are people forgetting that Portugal still owns Madeira and the Azores?
