Subject: FIFA World Cup Brazil 2014 (Draw results)

I didn't claim that the weather is an advante for the South/Central American teams. But I think heat and more important humidity can be a problem in general. I just checked a few cities, temperatures around 25 (but it's already evening now) and humidity up to 90% in Manaus for example. The many teams that travelled to Brasil in advance didn't do just for fun, but to acclimate.

There is good reason matches in Spain or at tournaments in Europe are played in the evening. As I said, in Brasil some will be at noon or early afternoon. That will be tough for the players.

marcozea did, I just replied to that.

Not really in the evening, but yes, two hours later.
And yes, there is a reason: TV.

Plenty of matches at 12:00 this year, including one Madrid-Barça :P

TV is the reason it was changed for this year, before the matches all started 18.00/20.00/22.00 I think.

I actually provided the link showing that was not the case :P

I also remember 3 or 4 PM matches in France 98, but can't find those times now - too old for the internet :P

Yes, that's why I said:

To people in Europe - can you watch the opening ceremony? Polish tv claims that the signal to Europe claims and they don't transmit it...
2014-06-12 20:44:50
