Bizzare article from CBC Hamilton a few weeks ago. Of course they run to some random member of the Forge, who drops this bit of wisdom about the weather:

But when Canada's men's national soccer team meets the U.S. at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton on Jan. 30 for a World Cup qualifying game, Smith said, the deep-freeze conditions will most likely challenge the visiting team.

"They're in the off season, so they're not coming in top shape and then ... they're leaving pre-seasons from warmer places, so Arizona, Florida or California," Smith, a former professional player, told CBC Hamilton.

"Having to come back here and having to deal with the weather in Hamilton outdoors would be very difficult, giving the Canadian team the advantage."

Because of all Canada’s players are taking a break from their day jobs of ice fishers and igloo makers to play WCQ?
