There are no direct flights from Rio to Orlando. So he's making a connecting stop somewhere.
Are there rules limiting how players have to return to the club from international duty? Can he charter?
Not sure it would be worth the money for this game, but I was just curious if the league had restrictions on this.
I've always assumed the country's federation pays for that flight, so MLS rules would not apply.
That is correct. NT pays for transit to/from as once they leave the club, the NT assumes responsibility (travel, insurance, etc).
Honestly I'm not surewhat it is, but every time I see Heber it makes me happy. During the open cup game when he walked by he was very happy and playful with the fans... And then in the behind the scenes videos he always seems so uppity and a really great guy.
I'm guessing this is White Plains airport? Never seen that design before...
Did you mean upbeat? I think you meant upbeat.
It is White Plains/Westchester County. Looks like weather in central Florida will cause some travel disruptions though.
You’re fine. It rains just about every day this time of year between 12-6.
They’re expecting a low to develop into a tropical depression by Thursday. It won’t impact Florida directly as it’s pushing South West.
I think it’s pretty standard for players to go first class when on NT duty. All USMNT players do that. Peru may be a less-rich organization, but it’s in the interest of self-preservation to coddle the players otherwise the players could decide the travel/subsequent side-effects aren’t worth their time and commitment.
Makes it an interesting forecast for the game. Heat index is supposed to be above 90 at kickoff, but there is a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms before 8pm. If one of those rolls through, it will be a lot cooler.
