Sal333 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 If we beat Mexico on Tuesday how will that affect the Flores family? Will Marcelo see Mexico as the fading power or will it strengthen his father's desire to go rescue this ailing giant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil R. Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Haven't seen official confirmation yet, but it sounds like the original referee for last night's match, Mario Escobar from Guatemala, will be the referee for this match, with assistant referees from Trinidad and Tobago and Costa Rica. narduch and DeRo_Is_King 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laryea will need to stay cool, and that may not even be enough for him given how soft the caution vs CR was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Ram Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, Metro said: The one good thing about the pitch now is that Canada has had 90 minutes of experience on it. Mexico most definitely has not. I am concerned about the cold. I remember going to the MLS Cup final 2016 and the extreme cold did act as a defender against Toronto who were clearly the more talented team. It is Mexico though; maybe their form will be more affected? Won't be surprised if we get the ol' 0-0 for this one. I went to all 3 MLS Cups in TO and it was cold AF especially in 2017...I do remember wearing something like 7 layers. Minus 23 forecast brings me fond memories of my blue balls 😂 No matter how cold it gets in Edmonton, it will be played. The only issue is the amount of snow.

The snow to worry about will fall Monday. If it melts.... 😭 Jedi Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Linesman Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Just a heads up for those taking public transit to the airport after the game. Just did so today, couldn’t swing both games, and it took me 2 hours on the LRT and the 747 bus. Admittedly my timing sucked as I waited 40 mins for the bus but it wasn’t a quick trip! Enjoyed Edmonton, the V’s, Wayverider and his sons buds, missed the Gator! Epic experience and I hope to go again be it Vancouver, the Hammer,... Allez Les Rouge!!

weathermanfran Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Dunno when the Mexico team arrives, but Sunday & Monday are looking to be poor weather in Edmonton. Sunday a rain/snow mix, Monday PM windy and snowy.. looking at 5cm or so of wet snow, maybe even more.. our first snows of the year in fact. Tuesday a cold wind from the north and colder as a result. Like other posters have mentioned, somewhere in the -5 to -9 range at kickoff, maybe even some snowflakes still even flying around (no accumulation). Will feel colder into the minus teens as the game rolls on with wind. So regardless, Mexico will be training in really poor conditions on Monday that probably won't reflect what the pitch will be like by match time on Tuesday. This has to be an advantage for us especially with us having several training sessions + a full game on the pitch already.
