If MLS moves to the FIFA Calendar....
Melo: Juve needed Santa!Felipe Melo has hit out at the artic conditions which Juventus played in at Lech Poznan. “We needed Father Christmas.”
The Old Lady crashed out of the Europa League on Wednesday after only picking up a 1-1 draw in snowy Poland.
The game was played at a temperature of -14°C, but the Brazilian insists it was even colder on the field of play.
“We were told that with the wind chill the temperature got down to -27°C,” the South American noted.
“I didn’t feel well in the changing rooms after the game, my chest was really tight,” continued the midfielder.
“I was nervous and worried about it because I had never felt like that before in my life. I was scared.
“To play football in those conditions and on that pitch you needed to be Father Christmas…”
Shut up, bitch.I was nervous and worried about it because I had never felt like that before in my life. I was scared.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
Definately not healthy. Its a different type of air when its cold, and its not good to exercise in. Playing here in winter is just asking for trouble.Originally Posted by zamperina

mornin d
wow 2016 and things are looking up --- come on you reds lets go
the biggest concern of playing in the winter - injuries will cripple (no pun) every team.
Players will have to sit on exercise bikes just to stay warmed up enough.
They'll have to play in thermals, (including pants). It would be horrible to watch.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Well, the US lost their bid, so my guess is they wont fall into the FIFA calendar anytime soon.
^ that is the bright side.
///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\
Hopefully by the time the US puts in another bid, FIFA has someone in charge that realizes how badly that would effect the sport.
Playing in the winter would send any quality players the league has, overseas. Nobody would want to play here.
^ yeah, all the biggest stars will be playing in the Qatari Premiere League™

guys
how often does it get to -15 in Dec or March
come on guys.
If the stadiums have roofs over the seating, there is no way it will be that cold with a heated pitch.
I play football and street hockey in -10. You learn to deal. Just like you learn to deal when its 35 and humid
How does wearing tights, make the game ugly? Riding my bike in the cold doesnt look or perform any different because I wear thermal tights.

TFC Decides on Three
Oh boy...Toronto FC has decided to not pick up the 2011 options on Fuad Ibrahim, Amadou Sanyang and Nick Garcia. Garcia is the only Toronto FC player eligible for the Major League Soccer re-entry draft on December 8th.
“This is yet another necessary step as we look toward building our 2011 squad,” said Earl Cochrane, Toronto FC interim director of soccer.
“With Nick we simply couldn’t find a way to make him fit within our current budget situation. If we lose Nick through this re-entry process, we will miss his leadership and experience and wish him all the best in the future.”
“We will evaluate shortly where or how Fuad and Amadou might fit into our 2011 plans.”
The more players we get rid of, without any players being signed....
Im scared for 2011
Why Sanyang? hes only 19
EDIT: options not picked up, NOT released (holding my tongue)....for now

It may have to do with his contract. Maybe they want to renegotiate. Time will tell. Although, we're getting close to panic time to find our coach/GM...
Why Sanyang you ask... Because everytime he steps on the pitch he is red card waiting to happen.
Well I'm not too sad to sat good-bye to anyone that we have let go so far. To be honest, how could we be any worse.
As for Sanyang, still not sure what the hype is on him.
I'm not sure why Sanyang went either. When he wasn't concussed or lying on the field killing time with a fake injury he was actually pretty decent and would have added depth. Seemed like he might have been the guy to take a stupid red card or difficult to coach during the game.
It doesnt have to get to -15 to impact the game, player performance, and player health.
The average high in february is -3. How often does a toronto -3 ACTUALLY feel like -3? February is when the league would start back up. The weather is still brutal in february. Even in November for the MLS cup it was pretty chilly out (not as bad as it could have been, but it was cold). Players simply wouldnt want to play in that. Playing hockey/football, you can wear a coat, or go in and take a hot chocolate break if you want/need one.
In a match, you cant wear a coat, or even pants. You would get incredibly sick wearing shorts in a canadian february. And thermal tights would make very little impact in that weather. Playing in a stadium right by the lake in potentially -10 to -15 weather (which feels a lot colder due to windchill i remind you) will be cold no matter what you say.
Lets pretend though, that it does happen, and its a good day. Only a couple days below freezing. Players joints will hurt. Especially those that have had joint injuries in the past. The quality of foodball would be piss poor, simply because of frozen joints.

Maybe it's a health issue? Concussions are a bitch.
I for one really like Sanyang. I hope he sticks around and gets some reserve games (at least) under his belt.
^^agreed hes only 19!!
all he needs is discpline, that can be coached..Sanyang is our Lee Cattermole, Ryan Shawcross, Nigel De Jong,
we need those players
Ibrahim needs a heavy developmental paycheck for him to stay, hes a different story.
We'll have the Qataris build us some magick stadiums that stay 27 C all year round, like they'll have for 2022.

The best line I ever saw on a winter schedule in North America was posted in the Globe i believe, and it said that if Sepp Blatter truly believed that NA conditions were acceptable for winter football he should locate the World Club Championship (held in January) in Chicago for the next 5 years, instead of Tokyo.
End of story.
At times Garber takes a lot of flack for his stance on the MLS schedule. In this case, I hope Garber tells Blatter to shove his fall-to-spring schedule up his ass.
Now that Ibrahim is off of GA, his $100k salary definitely needs readjusting.

By your analogy Usanov was our Ashley Cole and Hscanovics our Joleon Lescott. Maybe we should rethink letting them go.Sanyang is our Lee Cattermole, Ryan Shawcross, Nigel De Jong,
Now if only Julian De Guzman wasn't our [http://www.google.ca/underachieving+...ve+midfielder] then maybe we'd have a team.

Yeah I'd like to see those two kids back at lowest salary in the reserve league, give em a year/year and a half then drop em if they aren't developing
Or... what you see is what you get, just hasn't been made official. Scary thought.
