No one's saying the weather isn't an issue, we just don't think it's a bad as you make it out to be. The whole butthurt spic rant probably made you a bit of a target for banter.

Qatar on the other hand will suck. Number 1 because it's Qatar, number 2 because it will be over 100F every day in dry heat which is worse than humid heat.
I have to completely disagree on this one, because there is unlimited salt and water available.

You're not even old enough or have enough Football knowledge to know who Blanco was.

"that player i don't know can't be better than this player i know *laugh*" :facepalm2:
I remember him at the world cups, i saw compilation of his goals on youtube, good striker, nothing more nothing less

Wow he won 1 ligue title in 17 years with America, such an amazing achievement :tup:

He is legend because of his loyalty, celebrations and that trick when he hold the ball between his legs and jump with it

They'll play with a saline drip?
No, i mean dry heat is very dangerous for dehydration. Extremely dangerous even. However, if you take in enough salty solutions, and drink 2 liters+ of water during the game, you'll be totally fine.
I'd still recommand to put the entire team on a Na+/K+ baxter afterwards, just to make sure. And 30 min breaks to make sure they'll take in enough water.


Now, wet heat, thats a pain. You will feel deadtired, and its extremely hard on the heart and body. Marchisio and Verratti talking about hallucinating, is not uncommen in such circumstances. Fifa should have fucking allowed waterbreaks, and players to cool themselves down with coldbags during that break. Its about the only thing you can do, because they body is doing tremendous work to sweat

Except that you can't constantly take fluids during the match. Even if you need them. I've done strenuous activity in both and I definitely prefer the humidity.

1) You're black, and Muslim.
2) Debatable, after all, look at all those dead pirates.
3) I doubt that too.
4) Why is Somalia not in the World Cup?
Black is beauty
Muslim is only true path
And the pirates are kicking your rob dogging ass
We absolutely dont like thieves.
The WC? One day Insha ALLAAH and I believe we will it before USA, Canada, Australia and England obviously

Yeah, under dry heat your sweat will evaporate very quickly, but still, it's 120 degrees Fahrenheit...
Wich is not neccecarely a bad thing. It means the body isnt dying of effort to produce sweat.
Keeping salt levels good, and drinking as much water as you are losing is key

Players will have to test in specialised endurance labs, who have rooms that recreate the heat, and they'll have you run on a treantmill. meanwhile they periodically monitor lactic acid buildup and the amount of sweat you lose, and the amount of salt in the sweat.

This gives a profile for each player, what he should do.



However, how retarded is it that players have to prepare as if they'll be running an Iron man, just because Quatar has a small penis population issue, with very big oilreserves
