COLUMBUS (AP) — Twenty U.S. players trained on a whitened field in 22-degree weather in Columbus Monday as the United States began preparations for this week’s chilly World Cup qualifier against El Salvador.
The team dubbed the conditions “Snowhio” on its Twitter account. Snow fell all day Monday night, and temperatures were in the teens for Tuesday morning’s training session.
Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie were among the players due to arrive after Sunday matches.
The expected temperature for kickoff Thursday night at Loer.com Field is 25 degrees.
