MLS - March 12 - Montreal (Home)

[ZYanksRule]

Would like to see Taty and Maxi get 60 minutes of rest.

I know it's the home opener and everything, but how do you play Maxi on Saturday? Give Santi the start and have Maxi on the bench. I'm OK playing Taty, he's young enough and he's probably gone in June anyway. But Maxi? Get him on the bench, and play him in the final 30 if you need him.

Can one of you positive outlook guys, maybe ZYanksRule?, put a positive spin on the current weather forecast for Saturday's game? Bonus points for any forecasting models that show any sign of hope.

On a more pressing note, the weather forecast for Saturday looks incredibly shitty.

Good lord We need to clone Maxi.
I’ve just been so impressed with him early on this season. It seemed to me that the team looked messy when he subbed out last Night. I think it was only about 10 minutes of game but oh boy…

Per darksky.net, on Saturday expect light rain/rain throughout the day with the temperature in the 40s until the 2nd half, drops to high 30s around 3PM:


Per weather.com, similar to darksky in it being nice in the morning (high 40s to 50), then getting colder/windier as day goes on.

Accuweather is showing this (similar to the others.

The only positive is that we are still a few days out and (hopefully) a lot can change by then.

Soccer is meant to be played in the rain? At least it's not snow? At least we'll be celebrating a championship?

Rain in the summer isn't so bad, but rain and 40's is pretty miserable. I don't have much LOL.

I had planned to bring the full brood (4 kids) for this one, but am going to scale down and do that the following week.

i remember every other fanbase in MLS was furious that game was played in those conditions.

It was arguably (and probably IMO) unplayable conditions, but the officials can suspend even if the home team wants to go forward.

i always thought it went ahead because its YS. there is no way they can reschedule it , not even the following day since Yankees want the field converted ASAP.

Agree. The officials were probably under pressure to let it continue.

looking at the weather forecast, going to be hard to convince the fam to come out.

the supporters pregame march is going to be Portland redux - in the pouring rain haha

My investment a couple of months ago in a battery-powered heated vest is totally gonna pay off on Saturday!
