You can't start the games in 13-00pm brazil time, it's simple, it's too hot to play, All matches must begin after sundown, especially in the hottest city but yet FIFA doesn't give a fuck about players
Actually, the Europeans begged for this embarrassment. The 13/16/19 kick offs are chosen to suit the European viewer.

so football should only be played in spring in non-coastal mediterranean cities from 5 to 8 pm with a clear forecast
That sounds good to me, all clubs will have to purchase weather derivatives for loss of revenue from abandoned matches due to a chance of rain and 80 degrees.

What makes you say that? Teams with less talent generally strive for fitness. The Ticos always run, that's their game.
Right, but Alen doesn't know that. Not his fault, I wouldn't want to watch Slovenia play, although CR are miles better than Slovenia and other European nations such as them.

For the record, I do think it's retarded to play matches in the Amazon during the rainy season. But I'm not complaining. It's just one of those things.

I remember you rejoicing when you found out you wouldn't have to stay up into the night.
I still am. I'm enjoying the World Cup more than the previous ones, but it offers unfair conditions.
It's a real fun watching top teams losing. It's so much fun watching so many goals. But it doesn't feel right and from the knockouts we'll all notice that too much is missing when we'll realize that (mostly) due to the weather, some of the best players in the world will be missing and their place will be taken by much inferior players and less attractive teams who profited from the weather.

For the record, my personal favorite and the team I want to win the WC from now on is Chile. A South American team.

In Rio it's all good ~20C at the evening/night, while in places like Manaus it's a disaster with 30C and 70% of humidity, and even Rio has the same humidity

45C, it's a disaster to play in this conditions
Do you even know what 70% humidity means?

How do you feel about having a bunch of European traitors on your team?
They have citizenship, that's all I care about!
