World Cup, What's worst, rain or heat?
« on: June 14, 2014, 06:27:13 PM »
I've heard bitching about the 2018 World Cup in Qatar because of the potential heat, but watching this one so far, most matches have been in the rain.  For a player, what sucks worse, rain or heat?  In the heat you can just drink and hydrate, but the rain sucks.  makes the field slow, the ball heavy, your clothes heavy, your shoes heavy and soggy.  People need to quit bitching about the fucking heat in Qatar, India for 2018.

There is nothing wrong with heat but it can get unbearably hot there. We are looking at temperatures approaching 50 degrees.
I think it will be safety issue too. Playing +90mins games in that heat could potentially be very dangerous.

The heat killed the fucking English team.  Thrilled like crap the last 25 minutes of that match

First off, Qatar will be 2022. Hundreds of workers have already died from working in the heat to give you an idea. Players run 10-12km/match with bursts of sprinting. Can you imagine doing that with a temp of 50C IN THE SHADE?

Not to mention they bought the WC with bribes. Country of 1 million people with no football stadia ranked near bottom of 150 teams or so in the world spending $200 billion dollars to build 8 or so stadia. What a fucking joke.

Hope the whole shithole gas field blows up.
