As for the weather, wasn't it still over 40 degrees with all the stadiums having air conditioning throughout? That must have used massive amounts of eletricity.

At least with a traditional world cup most players get a break but having it mid season means every player not at the WC still has to train properly time to keep fitness up.


Arabia is not sweltering in the winter. Riyadh / Doha has an average of only 22 in the winter.

Players getting exhausted ins inexcusable. All teams have huge squads of 25 plus players, If teams play one player for 60 games and another for 5 then it is poor management.

Well it's not just about the temperature though how many Europeans play every game at over 20 degrees (and every 3 days or so) and possibly as high as 28? It's also about the lack of a break, even ordinary working schmo's get holidays

The thing about a squad is ( I thought you understood football) the manager/coach wants to play his best team whenever he can so some players will only get 5-6 appearances while others will play virtually every game.

Putting this up with your post about our away end, it's almost as if you know nothing about football?

You said this

"As for the weather, wasn't it still over 40 degrees with all the stadiums having air conditioning throughout? That must have used massive amounts of eletricity"

It was nonsense to be honest.

Of course the manager wants to pick the best 11 and play them as much as possible. It is also his fault if they run out of gas at the business end of the season. In my opinion this is bad management.

Money is important in football and i understand money . It is better and cheaper for Swansea city to subsidize 500 Swansea fans going Leeds rather than 4000 Leeds fans coming to Swansea (some of whom live in Swansea) . It is 12 year old maths.

There will not be 4,000 Leeds supporters in the away end when we play them. 12 year old maths dictates this when the capacity is half that.

Many more Leeds fans coming to Swansea than Swansea fans going to Leeds. Perhaps be a factor of between 2 and 4. Basic maths

Mr Coleman is not investing in Swansea to give his money to leeds fans including some off them who live locally.

it's not about helping Leeds fans, it's about helping swansea fans.

There were never going to be 4000 Leeds fans in our away end because it ony holds 2,100.

PS, the average December temp in Doha is 69.5F so i undercooked it a bit but they did have air conditioned stadia.
Most European football isn't played at those temps, in Spain where it's warmer they kick off at 20.00 or later don't tney, so it's cooler? But again, the players deserve a break, they are not robots.
