Another unfortunate certainty is that many will watch simply to see the spectacle of exhausted and collapsing players rather than the sport.....IMO. I wish the English and a few others, perhaps the Germans and Spain, would simply tell them to stuff it and boycott it all. Pete
But seriously, it is ludicrous attempting to play football in the summer in the Middle East - I worked and lived in Saudi, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi for 7 years and you can't even walk without feeling the effects - you could foresee footballers collapsing or even worse if the games go ahead as planned.
