Even though this "announcement" is a little premature, you will struggle to find anyone who thinks the 2022 WC will/should be played in the summer. If the powers that be cannot cope with this with 8 years notice then they are not capable of fulfilling the roles they are in!

Surely countries with extremely hot climates should not be considered as suitable venues to stage world cup football. Those countries should be exempted from entering the draw. Or is that too simple a solution.

Too simple, or play it in Norway in January

Absolutely true, unfortunately.

And this is precisely the reason why all the major European nations should boycott this absolute farce and refuse to have anything to do with it.

plenty of time to plan and who knows all the home nations might make the finals ,,,,,,,,, not
