“Que horror!! Están degradando el deporte!!” (“What horror!! They’re degrading the sport!!”) Costa Rica’s president, Laura Chinchilla, Tweeted an hour into the match as 45 members of the grounds crew, dressed in full winter gear, battled to keep lines clean by clearing mounds of snow that piled up.
They played last Friday in Denver and at the market I was giving a couple Tican friends a rough time about what the conditions were going to be like. I didn't really know and could care less about it but you know the pot has to be stirred now and then.
Saying first the altitude was bad enough but it was going to snowing a lot during the game plus the temps were going to be below freezing with the wind blowing hard. It turned out it was just like that and maybe worse.
It needs to be said that these people when their country is spoken of have a strong sense of pride something completely different than in the States.
I agree...the game should have been called. But-they were both playing in the snow, not just one of the teams. Playin the devils advocate here...

ReplyDeleteA mistake too thinking the home team will give when it's to their advantage not to.
