Did they only do research on fall leagues? If so, yeah we know but now they know how summer leagues feel.
I wonder how far away we are from FIFA saying that players can take steroids after being injured to improve their recovery times. They don’t give a fuck about player welfare, so why not?
Another WC during winter in Saudi Arabia, innit?
And we do it all again in 2034!!
WOAH
No shit Sherlock
oh no who could have ever seen this coming
I feel like this is way too narrow a timeline to view it through. Let’s not forget that the majority of footballers professionally were provided a rare period of extended rest during the WC period, since a majority of them obviously did not play the during the tournament.
If anything, my feeling is that injuries have largely increased since the 2 seasons were bundled together during the lockdown period. This is merely a result of that snowballing imo.
No shit, Sherlock
Doesn’t matter, had cash.
Summer in Europe ≈ Winter in Arab countries. But of course, the brown guys are the bad guys as usual
Geography does not check out. Both are in the northern hemisphere so have summer/winter at the same time
Talking about average temperatures
More number of games in a calender year leads to more injuries. Suprise.
Footballers need to protest this quickly before it reaches a similar boiling point as tennis. Players are protesting now, and Sinner recently abandoned a tournament after a 2:30 AM finish with his next game scheduled about half a day later. But it doesn’t look like the ATP is going to budge.
But that was such a litty world cup no cap frfr *sheeessssh*
This will happen again when the Saudi’s get the World Cup after 2030. The reason the 2030 world cup is spread over 3 countries is because it gives Asia the ability again to host the cup.
Don’t think doing it in Uruguay/Argentina/Morocco/Spain was because they wanted to be cool or historic its cause the Saudi’s bribed them.
FIFA 2034: I’ll fuckin do it again
