    Indoor sports that you can get away with like basketball, handball, etc.

    The footy season starts across the Gulf around mid September.

    Oh stop talking bollocks Fluke, I was in Korea and the games were in the evening when it was comfortable and not at all humid. Same with the rest, apart from Brazil, which is why they introduced these drinks breaks. And that is still nothing compared to the sandpit.

    The only sport I would do in the Middle East summer is water skiing and that's only off a boat with a big fuck off esky on it.

    Now I'll type it slowly so you might have a glimmer of a chance of understanding.

    It.is.too.fucking.hot.in.Qatar.to.play.a.World.Cup .in.the.summer.

    I do think that you mean that its too humid, rather than too hot ?

    Meanwhile back on topic. Qatar is totally unsuitable for a summer world cup. The country is desparate to build a future infrastructure in preparation for the day the oil runs out. That is highly commendable, but it should not place fans or players at risk because of their hostile summer climate.
    It is equally clear that the corrupt and greedy head of FIFA will not back down because he has a debt to repay.
    Any country who supports the Qatar world cup could be a suspect in Blatters pocket. All reasonable and honest football nations should withdraw and hold a rival tournament.

    I think the whole thing is coming to a head quite nicely.

    Blatter is on his way out.

    I just hope that oily creep Platini will be next in line for the chop.

    Oh FFS Fluke, the apparent temperature is a combination of temperature and humidity. And that's what it would be like playing in.

    Don't you know anything?

    Not in Busan, all the games were in the evening.

    Having said that, it wasn't that hot anyway. Maybe you should look at a map.

    Korea and Japan are roughly on a par with Spain and Italy.

    Listen : It really doesnt matter what times the games kicked off in Busan .
    It really doesnt matter whether Jorea and Japan are on the same global posotion as Spain and Korea .
    The point is that Football games have been played in similar conditions to the night time Qatar conditions .
    I have shown the night time temperatures for Qatar and they are adequate for playing football .
    If you feel that it would be too humidly to play football in, they show the humidity rates .
    There is no need to speak to others in a condescending way .
    Whether you were in Korea for the world cup, is beside the point , doesnt prove anything .
    Whether Japan and Spain on in similar positions on the map, is besides the point . Spain and Japan have different climates .
    Now, instaed of posting all this irrelevant stuff, post some facts about humidity rates in Qatar at night, compared to humidity rates in places where previous world cups have been held .
    Or you just just call other people stupid.................you seem to think that proves a point

    That is what I wrote .
    Harry then just concentrated on Korea, clamming that he was in Korea for the WC and all the games were played in the evening (Which is what I am saying should happen in Qatar, play the games when its cooler , at night ).
    I then show Harry that the games in Korea kicked off in the afternnoon , he then narrowed the games down to Busan, in Korea . And some of the games in Busan kicked off in the afternoon .
    My original claim that numerous different WCs have been played in similar temperatures to night time Qatar has changed to kick off times for three games in Busan .
    Even without all the name calling, I do find it frustrating trying to talk with Harry

    ^^ The humidity in Doha can be seen on these 3 websites. Other locations in Qatar might be different (coast v inland, for example)

    weather beijing - china - weatheronline
    Doha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Weather and Climate: Doha, Qatar, average monthly Humidity

    In addition to all the issues about the award of the competition to Qatar, the most blindingly obvious one is specialist medical opinion objecting to a summer (June/July) World Cup in Qatar, because of THE FUCKING HEAT.

    Just skimmed the article as was in a rush to get out the door, It's old but still relevant. As is the comment fluke.

    Hopefully they'll be a new generation of England supporters coming through the ranks by then as the current support is at an all time low, personally i've not watched a game since the world cup.

    The president of Fifa, Sepp Blatter, has come under more criticism about goal-line technology, this time from his wife.

    She said, "It doesn't surprise me, I've been asking him for years whether it was in or not."

    And you've obviously never even been to the Middle East in summer, so it would explain why you are talking out of your arse.

    Well I've done almost 30 of them, and I'm telling you again it's too hot to play in the summer ANY time of day.

    You're just one of these annoying little turds that will not admit you are wrong even when the facts are staring you in the face, and then bore the tits out of a thread trying to win an argument that you've already lost.

    So tell me, which is more important , the average yearly temperature of Qatar , thats the year round temperature or is it the actual temperature when the games will be played ?
    Should we take into consideration the temperature when the games are not being played or should we just look at the figures of the time when they will be playing ?
    The temperature in Qatar when they will be no games playing , is the same as most of the points that you raise , completely irrelevant

    Jaysus what a c u n t.



    You're like that fucking genius that thought he was going to challenge Blatter:

    "You could play the first games at 7 p.m., the second games at 10 p.m. and the third matches at 1 a.m.," the former Chile FA president said. "You'd change everything. It would be a couple of hours behind in Europe, and that would help TV."

    He added: "The weather would still be very warm at night, but the sun is not there and that could help. I know it's not easy. We'd sleep during the day and work during the night.

    "It's only an idea. You'd have to investigate a little bit more. I have never played in Qatar in May. Let's organise a youth tournament, invite countries from all the confederations, and let's use this time to see if it works.
    Let's do animal testing on non-Qatari kids.

    It's always hotter than the stats as well otherwise no one would go there.

    When we was living in the outback, it was regular 45oC. The weather published for T.V reports was never more than 32oC.

    The whole Qatar games is about money in fifa/Blatter fat cnuts pocket from an oil rich nation which is trying hard not to become a desert full of nomads again.

    Impossible to play a match in that heat, the plans need re-arranging.

    Just carry on ignoring the specialist medical advice on behalf of international footballers all over the world.
    Why do you think the local leagues don't start until September? Could it be that it's too hot, and it's against medical advice to play in the summer?

    Here's some medical advice for you flake. Your brain is broken. Get it fixed.

    Just because the Aussie forecasters were wrong, that doesnt mean that every other weather forecaster is wrong, are you saying that every place in the world is actually 10-15 C higher than claimed ?
    Yes, I agree that the World cup shouldnt be played there , but it would be possible to play the games during the night , although that would bring other issues that would need resolving
