Raymond James Stadium is in Tampa, Florida. These boys are getting summer heat AND humidity from the gulf. Put on some wool clothes and it's how the British sailed the region 200 years ago.

Yeah and unfortunately the summer rains have not really started yet. Usually here it's warm overnight, gets hot but then the afternoon rain comes and it's just warm again. By our standards, anyway. We do get absolutely gorgeous lightning in the rainstorms and evenings in the summer.

Why the houses are made of sheet rock and sticks tbh

Because it is a great way to make houses. The three little pigs is a fun story but it has no bearing on what makes a good house.

It's the most economically viable option in North America, rather.

Serves them right for traveling to that shithole just to give lots of money to FIFA and Trump.

We’re not even at +1.5C yet. The fun is still to come. Wait until +2.5C and after the AMOC cuts out. Fuckin hell.

Most European stadiums have roofs though. At least above the seats..

Most of ours have retractable roofs. It doesn't help much.

Who is “ours”? The only stadium in America I’ve ever seen with a retractable roof is the Dallas cowboys stadium. Like I know there are more, but there’s no way it’s “most”.

Is that World Cup? Pretty empty. I've seen footage of lower tier teams in the UK with more spectators.

This was a friendly from last week, before the start of the Cup. There are no Cup matches in Tampa.

Ah, thanks. It just didn't seem right.

Florida is a swamp state, if anything. It's muggy as hell
