It could be the most memorable match in recent U.S. Soccer history. On March 22, 2013, the United States Men’s National Team were in Commerce Park, Colorado for an important World Cup qualifier against Costa Rica. It starts out to be a warm day in suburban Denver, but as the day progresses, it quickly becomes a different story. A snowstorm hits the area, and by kickoff, the snow is coming down hard and fast. It set the scene for what would be dubbed the “Snow Clasico.”
It was the second match of the final Hexagonal qualifying round for the USMNT, who had lost a match the month before in Honduras.
