Heat is a major issue. Why are they playing at 1 and 5 local time? Why not something like 4 and 8? It would also help out US viewers who are the only ones that matter. Whether it be the World Cup, Olympics, etc.
As I found out the other day, its an attempt to juggle both hemispheres. That said, we'll be wishing we had this time slot over the next 8 years. I hate that because the WC is obviously taking off in the US and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a huge drop off over the next 2 World Cups.

Maybe they will tape delay it like the Olympics.

And why would they? The US isn't the center of the universe for soccer. They're going to cater to the audience that would get them more revenue. That isn't the US.
We all know and understand that.

go outside in South LA at 1 pm and try to run 3 miles.
Did that in Baghdad in 2006. Ran an 18k in Baghdad in 2011 at 8 am when it was already 100 degrees in June. Wouldn't recommend it.

Jesus people, he was obviously not serious when he said the US was the only country that mattered, some of you are terrible at reading comprehension
