Hopefully the boys from El Salvador won't be able to move.

This three game stretch of games in Columbus, Ontario, and St. Paul are all going to be cold as frick.

Who the hell though it would be a good idea to schedule a game at an outdoor stadium in St Paul in February?

I'm assuming it's our version of a shitty pitch with it being 110 in August. Homefield advantage. I like it.

I think it had to do with home field advantage and also Canada scheduled their home match in Hamilton.

If they would've put that match in Vancouver then the US would've put their home matches in Portland and San Jose.

Possibly playing in negative temps is fricking dumb. I can’t imagine there will be much of a crowd either. It’s not like our players are used to playing in that type of extreme cold either

Exactly. 30s is one thing where we can cope and it might affect the Hondurans. Single digits is going to in my opinion level the playing field skill level wise. If we want to maintain possession and pass the ball its going to be harder to do that when you can't feel your feet

Couldn’t agree more. The people claiming this gives us a huge home field advantage have clearly never spent much time in zero or sub zero weather. Hopefully the field is heated

Both the Columbus and St. Paul's fields are heated fyi.

I think if you make them miserable and not want to be there, it makes them want to quit. Our guys will want to be there!
Only concern is injuries in that weather, with the lack of depth in this squad. We are one deep at every position!

Panama this window is away to Costa Rica home to Jamaica and away to Mexico. They could easily go away from this window with 0 points.

And could have as many as 7. Costa Rica is old and the Reggae Boyz have been inconsistent. Would be nice if they dropped a couple, though!
