So are we saying that if it is going to be as hot as an average summer's day in England, then England should not host a world cup because it would be too hot?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
We'd obviously host it in January, with the final to be played on a Tuesday evening at the Britannia Stadium.
The nation's league should have definately been cancelled for fatigue purposes and Covid transmission. Captain's and players should have banded together and put pressure on the FAs, FIFA and UEFA with threats of boycotts.
At least the EL and CL the exposure is one team Bubble against another. With internationals you are crossing all the team bubbles across the world with no standardised COVID procedures beyond the major European leagues.
At least the players will be a third of the way through a season, so at least still fresh-ish, rather than playing the WC at the end of another 60 game season.
Its the end of the domestic season which will be more affected by the WC than the other way around - Take a 50/60 game season and then throw an elite Tournament in the middle of it when you could play 6 games in 26 days.
I actually think the players will relish a bit of winter sun. The Premier League will be a free for all after that though - injuries, fatigue, general disruption.
Does anyone agree that having the world cup in winter is significantly disadvantaging the PL clubs cos English players will only be playing 3 matches at most over the whole month so will lose match fitness, whereas as the French, Germans, Italians, Dutch etc will be playing 5 or 6 at least, so La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga teams will all be match fit come the resumption of the CL and leagues?
It's not just international football that's the issue either.
RB Salzburg have imposed a squad lockdown after 3 of their players got the virus, which highly like came about after UEFA forced them to play their Europa qualifier against Maccabi Tel Aviv, who were missing 10 players themselves due to Covid.
Any time the players travel abroad it's going to spread.

Nice winter break for McT and his McChums though
What international team does everyone support? I support France.
Playing the friendlies still is ridiculous, unnecessary risk of spreading and catching the virus as well injury concerns

Always slightly supported Portugal after England. Started with Ronaldo and Figo days and kind of stuck.
Yeah it is farcical. Given the current situation there is no way everybody returns clean.

The Portuguese national team were one of the only ones I actively disliked until I moved there. Absolutely despicable team in 2006 and not because they knocked out a mediocre England side. Watching the 2012 and 2014 tournaments with Portuguese locals was great though and I don't think they were quite as cynical by then. I've got a soft spot for the Dutch as well.
I used to support Holland but now Liverpool fans support them so I support France. And Portugal.
