Good report on a match involving a leading club in USL Super Lg (who already use fall-spring 'Euro' calendar MLS et al will adopt) & how they (in a non-'cold weather locale') had to manage extreme winter wx not just on gameday but in training.

Attendance was < half their average. Challenges galore.

With no video (for me) here's a guess at how the listed XI vs Brondby shapes up.
