Grandstander Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 quote:Originally posted by Ivan I agree with you for the most part, but what about Puerto Rico? Maybe they're used to the heat and humidity. At any rate Montreal's collapse was unforseen. I can't blame that loss on conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandstander Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 quote:Originally posted by Cheeta Don't think 1,000 m altitude means much if anything. What's Edmonton? Got to be getting close to that. Interesting question though. (Oh the power of Google. Calgary altitude 3,500 ft, Edmonton 2,100 ft, Winnipeg 761 ft, Toronto 347 ft, Vancouver airport 4 ft). Humidity is a killer for us Nor'landers. How many times over the years have we seen the MNT wilt in the tropical heat/humidity? Not saying that was the case at Estadio Corona (quite the opposite). That was a simple lack of match fitness and a defensive marshaling force. Even in the USL, a road trip to the Carolinas and Florida in summer is deadly. For the Caps, usually one or two losses is typical. they win one and then absolutely wilt in the second or third game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keano Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 quote:Originally posted by Kurosawa Sure Montreal is not tropical but in the summer humidity is definitely something we have to deal with. We actually have terrible humidity along the St Lawrence lowlands in the summer, by any standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
