I know its a bit soon to be thinking about it...

But allot of the commentators are saying England will struggle at the next world cup because it is held in South Africa and it will be too hot for them.
But isn't this time of year the South African Winter?; I’ve checked the weather channel and it is currently around 20C in Cape Town. Perfect football weather I would have thought

I don't mean to be difficult...but they tried using the "Oh God its really hot" excuse this time round...it was in Germany ffs......did the Swedes complain they were roasting...did the Aussies complain they were freezing??.....bring on Global warming...then we wont have any excuses left !

So 30-odd degrees in Germany isn't as hot as 30-odd degrees somewhere else?
Sure is
Unfortunately for England,and this is where the unfainess of playing in a European country comes in,Sweden only played in 20-odd degrees as every one of their players was lucky enough to be playing under a big cloud or shadow every time they got the ball
My point is really that England played far better in Mexico,Italy and Spain...so the "heat" thing doesnt really wash.
On paper the team that just played was superior to the previous ones and the temperature seemed to be used as an excuse.
And before you start about sour grapes!!!,my wife is English,I spent 20 years in London and I did GENUINELY support England...

Fair point,but what I was rather clumsily trying to point out,was that 6 of the last 8 were European,(and the 2 non-European teams were beaten)so heat quite clearly wasn't a factor.
You are of course correct,but if the W/C had been held in England this year,temperatures would have been broadly similar to those in Germany,especially last week.
