- USA’s Weah to miss qualifier due to vaccine issue
Hello all, and welcome to a vital January qualifier in which the big story is the weather: two feet of snow, 22 degrees Fahrenheit with a “feels like” figure of 9 degrees …
Oh, I’m sorry. That’s the weather in Boston. New York isn’t much better.
In Hamilton, Ontario, about an hour’s drive from Niagara Falls, it’s 25 degrees (-4 for those who prefer Celsius) with a “feels like” of 19 (-7).
USA forward Timothy Weah was unable to travel to Canada for Sunday’s World Cup qualifier because he did not meet the vaccination requirements to cross the Canadian border, coach Gregg Berhalter said Saturday.
Weah, who was involved in the play that led to the only goal in Thursday’s 1-0 victory over El Salvador, has received one vaccine dose and was infected with Covid-19 before he could receive his second shot, Berhalter said.
