I watched the match last nite, and it was a total blizzard by the 2d half.
However, contrary to what the article mentioned, Costa Rica team insisted on finishing match when the ref and FIFA/ CONCACAF tried to call off the match
And, weather upmanship is nothing new....Honduras did that w Mexico yesterday playing home match in humid San Pedro Sula instead of cooler, higher elevation Tegucigalpa.
Now THAT's a soccer game I would have watched....
