Can someone please explain this to me? I enjoy World Cup futbol, but don't watch a whole lot outside international competition. Are there specific circumstances that lead to cooling time? Ref's discretion? Is there one each half?

They determined set times before the game. I think they said 30th minute and 75th minute.

Because it's hot as frick.

Who determines if they will have cooling time? Are there specific temperatures that trigger it?

We had a cooling break during one of the games. I think they had it around the 40th minute.

Anyone have a forecast for Tuesday? I wouldn't mind another hot match against a European team.

At least half of our starters in the last game play in the MLS or Liga MX.

Which doesn't mean shite bc it wasn't even that hot yet. Clint and Bradley play in places similar to european weather

One mexican based player most the time the majority of the line up is euro based

my point is our team is not all the way acclimated

Ok, I wasn't talking about the weather in the last game.

They do play road games in places like Houston, Dallas, and LA. They are still better prepared to play in the heat than anyone on Belgium.

No, but we're better suited for it than Belgium is. Especially since they have an injured back line.

The first two games we were smoked just like the other teams. A majority of the time its the starting line up has more euro based players who would have the same time getting acclimated as the other teams.

You point would be more valid if it was the middle of the summer for all these road games before the WC. A game or two in those places do not prepare you for the WC in these conditions esp when you go right back to similar european weather.

this has already been proven wrong

we have a frick ton of players going through the same thing as their euro counterparts.

Trust me man coming back to the states in the middle of the summer after being over here for a significant time is like o shite its hot.

This was the second cooling break of the entire tournament, I believe. The first was our game against Portugal, but it was shorter than the ones today.
