It's extremely dumb. But FIFA doesn't care, they just want the money.

The reason it's being played when it is is due to the extremely Hot weather  in the Summer?

November/December it will be very tolerable though at least.  Spring/summer it would have been impossible.

40° won't  be tolerable for football.  Every game now in the prem we are seeing top players injured and missing  the comp.  Son from korea. Pogba france
 A few England players. Now players have 2 or 3 games until the cup watch them under perform  or pull out of prem games scared of injury. Im so against  this venue and time of year .  Anywho it will be what it is.

its one of those things, like the saying goes " someone's gotta win"....but i think it will be lack luster overall, but i will tune in

It's never 40 during this time of year though?!? It's usually 30 during this time of year which should be more than playable.

Arsenal are top of the  league. Not sure if the  wC helps or hinders our small squad

It was 40 not too long ago!  The desert is nice in the winter months.

Disgusting that this atrocious location gets this.
How many people died building the venues?
(We will never know because their lives were considered worthless....)

This is way further than even the groups would go here.  If you watched the piece a while back on Real Sports it was very disturbing. 
But FIFA only cares about the money and wants everyone to stop focusing on politics and focus on sports.

World is indeed insane.  (And I agree we are going 100 toward a wall,  here, as well)

I am hoping that with the addition of Pulisic our American team does good this time around.

Not sure if Pulisic will get a club game before the World Cup. He’s done nothing this season for Chelsea.
