USA face outrage from Honduras over making them to play in -19C weather in Minnesota, with two players forced off with hypothermia and others needing IV drips for treatment after their World Cup qualifying defeat

The United States have been slammed by opponents Honduras after they were made to play in freezing -19C weather during their 3-0 World Cup qualifying defeat in Minnesota, with the decision blasted as 'inconceivable'.

Goals from Weston McKennie, Walker Zimmerman and Chelsea's Christian Pulisic wrapped up a confident win from Gregg Berhalter's men - but the game was overshadowed by outrage from the visitors over the chilling conditions - with some players forced off with hypothermia and others requiring IV drips.

Head coach Hernan Dario Gomez led the protests - even before the game - slamming the decision to host the game in Minnesota.
