People can't even sit in the stands in this heat yet FIFA expect players to play football. Absolutely nuts, no surprise at all that this has been a poor game so far.

People keep blaming the heat for this match, but there has been far hotter games than this at WC.
Ireland vs Mexico in 94' was over 110F/42C (the temperature was recorded live on the pitch). Still an ok game. F*cked Ireland though.

That's a penalty kick.
Unfortunately Arjen Robben's reputation now precedes him when it comes to things like this. |

It has been a great World Cup, definitely, but the refereeing has been sub-par I think. Especially when it comes to decisions to make inside the box.

I can't decide who I dislike more as a co-commentator: Clarke Carlisle or Robbie Savage. At least for me, both are frustrating in their own ways.

End of a first half rendered awful by the heat. Mexico had the best of it but that's merely a reflection of Dutch having to play an ill-suited low tempo, conservative game purely to pace themselves in the dreadfully oppressive conditions. Any potential flow to the game was also killed stone dead by the necessity of the cooling break. Quote:
I was about to say the same thing. This isn't the first time a WC has been held on an American continent. I recall searing temperatures throughout Mexico '86, and I'm sure it was the same in previous tournaments held in Central or South America.

Watching Holland really struggle in these conditions, reminds me no European side has ever won the world cup in America.

![]() ![]() This heat is going to give Fifa all the ammo they need to rip up that contract with Qatar (and not return all that money in the brown envelopes). |

If people can't sit in the heat how do you expect a good game full of goals? It's garbage.

Back in the studio now. The beach idea has been put aside. Did they all get changed, they must have missed parts of the game.
