Flip Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Flip, what's the story with these games at altitude. Do the non-native teams just get tired really early on? Usually the more it progresses, but as Gabriel Jesus said in Bolivia they're tired during the warm up already. There's basically a complete lack of oxygen in Bolivia at 4000m . As for Quito it's not the same as it's on a more human altitude (2900m), but they'll get tired the more the game progresses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without exaggeration, they are putting the life and health of players at stake in Bolivia and to a lesser degree in Quito. Messi may need to get a third here, btw. Ecuador seem pretty up for the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
