i'm sure i read that the players were permitted to play with head coverings due to that

 

[PT98]

I'm sure I read the Honduras keeper had to get subbed off cos it was too cold.

Hypothermia. Mild obviously

Thought that was a joke, taking me back to the boys brigade days again

 

[1BadMouse]

I was once subbed off due to being too cold, oldman had to carry me to the car blood circulation stopped to my feet

Still get white numb white fingers when it's freezing

 

[mdingwall]

Where was it played?

Peter Chillton?

Apologies...

Hypothermia. Mild obviously

Basically the opposite of Boyd playing in a mini heatwave

 

[dorian blue]

Where was it played?

Up in the frozen north, Minnesota.
Mind you, it's below freezing here in south Texas today.

 

[55 and counting]

Where was it played?

Minnesosta. US coach admitted it was a deliberate decision to take somewhere like that.

 

[PunkScott]

And I bet there was still a fan with his top off.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Bud light or similar pish probably

 

[Hap Hapablap]

In before somebody mentions Dortmund away 1995

 

[Martyboy70]

Peter Chillton?

Apologies...

Nah Les Fridge.

 

[Ted Rangers]

Nah Les Fridge.

Ou est les fridge?

 

[Hurricane Run]

The US chose to put players in danger, because sometimes they need to play in 30°C apparently. That was their justification. 2 Honduras players needed treatment for hypothermia - neither serious, but obviously it could have been.

 

[a_weir]

I'm gunna be honest that's irresponsible to let that game go ahead.

In what way is it sensible to play a game in -20°C?

 

[ISOTSOG]

Ridiculous, get these matches played in Los Angeles.

 

[WW55 on the PRW]

That's terrible leaving it that long for it to go like that,

where they waiting on a SG substitution??

 

[Unclerico27]

Chelsea and St Mirren keeper from the 1980s...well known for always wearing an extra jumper and big woolly gloves

 

[strathavenbear]

Read a bit yesterday saying that the game shouldn't have been played as it was too cold, you don't really see the same demands for when it's too hot.

 

[PT98]

Bud light or similar pish probably

Heard it was Brewdog

 

[Square it!]

Minnesosta. US coach admitted it was a deliberate decision to take somewhere like that.

My son lives there and it does get seriously cold in winter.

 

[devilman]

Was watching some of the videos of people's bottles of water freezing. Sure a couple of the Honduras players had to come off, their goalie did at least, as they couldn't handle the cold.

 

[WDYGH]

I'm sure I read the Honduras keeper had to get subbed off cos it was too cold.

Presumably we could have the same effect on the bheggars by having spare bars of soap around the pitch at Ibrox?

 

[Captain Steve Rogers]

I heard that the USA pick St. Paul, MN because it was so cold, to make it more difficult for Honduras.

Pretty tragic that you need to get an edge over Honduras!

 

[LetsGo]

Where was it played?

Broadwood.

 

[Kurt Russell]

And I bet there was still a fan with his top off.

And wearing shorts.

I love watching the NFL and college games where the pitches are covered in snow, but %^*& actually playing in that or even spectating! The snowball fight at Livingston was fun, but can you imagine if the pitch had been covered in snow during play?

 

[Kit_]

-19c

%^*& ME!

Which is pathetic, right? You need to do that to beat the mighty Honduras? FIFA should have stepped in here. The temperature was -19c!!

 

[crookie_bear]

Man up, the lot of you

BTW I think the day we beat Hibs 7-0 it was -18 in Glasgow at its lowest. Thinking -15 during the game

Impressive having a Hollywood star at your match

Like this you mean?

100% mate. There are parts of the US that are cold, without playing in inhumane temperatures, if you really needed the advantage

 

[Kurt Russell]

Like this you mean?

I'd have preferred that to be a tim faceplanting.

Apologies, hope the below is more to your liking (albeit different game).
