Hahaha he’s playing with a neck gaiter on. Smart for USA to host the match in Minnesota during the coldest part of the year against Honduras. Most of their players were certainly not used to -20 degree conditions

So idiotic but CONCACAF is just a joke so it’s par for the course. Also think at least the goalkeeper for Honduras had to be subbed at half due to “hypothermic” symptoms.

Yea he had to be given an IV at halftime. Such an irresponsible decision by the USSF.

Well the Central American countries keep putting us in games during the midday with 100 degree temps or in high altitudes. Just how it is.

It's a pretty horrible act by the USSF which should have never been allowed. 0 concern for player welfare.

Agreed. Honduras is also known for holding their home games in the afternoon in 100 degree weather. Its absurd. Concacaf needs to step in already with federations shithousing like this to the detriment of player safety. They also should disqualify Costa Rica right now & ban them for the next 2 cycles after they just knowingly fielded Covid + players yesterday. Concacaf simply does not give a shit about player safety or a players well being. El Salvador players threatened to not play yesterday because of unpaid bonuses. Its crazy. Concacaf does not care about the players.

I am pretty sure none of the players on either side were used to those weather conditions. It provided no advantage, and risked players health and safety.

Didn’t know that about Costa Rica, that’s nuts. There has to be serious consequences for that

It's not as clear cut as the post made it sound. Other reports are saying that the two players had covid about 3 weeks ago and had cleared all of the processes to play and that they still tested positive due to antibodies when entering Jamaica.
