The final preparations for the start of the CONCACAF/CONMEBOL playoff have begun in earnest. Uruguay's technical staff and their South American-based players left for Guatemala this morning and should have arrived there by now. They will be joined by the European-based players on Wednesday and travel to Costa Rica the next day or Friday.
Guatemala City is at roughly the same altitude as San José, but at 1200m, it's not going to be a big issue on Saturday. The playing surface will be a much bigger factor.
I finally found out where to watch the game live in North America. Check out http://trafficusa.blogspot.com/. This is sooo great.
