Old guy Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 there is difference between getting used to heat and blaming genes few weeks training and preparation should have taken care of this like some other teams have shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 No not really....of course exceptions-Germany and Netherlandas have been absolute beasts.....in a WC there is not a huge margin in the total skill levels of most teams...so you put 2 teams together with the conditions heavily favoring the other team' date='the team playing in unfavorable conditions has to raise their game to a much much higher level to compete[/quote'] then say team is not used to heat genes play no part here..also conditions are same for both teams and its about having stamina to face heat...of course it is advantage for guys who have grown up here but professional athletes get used to this stuff all the time ...few weeks of training and build up would have taken care of this.. its not like there is heat wave..every one knew what weather would be like and where world cup was going to be played.

vvvslaxman Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 dude they are professional atheletes genes and speed at which you can run cannot be changedb ut you can get used to weather there is nothing special about genes of people living in cold climate or hot climate maybe difference in skin color but there is no difference in human genes There is .

maniac Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 there is difference between getting used to heat and blaming genes few weeks training and preparation should have taken care of this like some other teams have shown. So 4 weeks training is enough to get acclimatized to conditions that they are not familiar with their whole lives .....Heat is a factor yes,but is it the biggest factor no not really but cannot totally ignore it. The SOuth American coutries have a little more advantage that's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 then say team is not used to heat genes play no part here..also conditions are same for both teams and its about having stamina to face heat...of course it is advantage for guys who have grown up here but professional athletes get used to this stuff all the time ...few weeks of training and build up would have taken care of this.. its not like there is heat wave..every one knew what weather would be like and where world cup was going to be played. Costaricas average temperature is 81 degrees year around. Acclimatization plays a big role in such high calorie sports like football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SOuth American coutries have a little more advantage that's all yes its enough to get used to heat and train enough s that it is not factor anymore ..for professional athletes even in olympics its very normal part of job and if you cannot adjust then blame urself and slight advantage is enough ..spain lost to another european team ..i think holland has colder weather than spain ...

vvvslaxman Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 discussion ? its sports article..obviously its a factor but not unfair advantage or excuse for playing badly It is not an excuse . It is a factor. It was just an example. During commentary and analysis this was frequently dismissed by all panelists.

Old guy Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Compare them to someone whose every muscle is side to such weather since they were young. it does not matters how long you stay there some people can get used to it in days and 4 weeks is sufficient enough time.. you are thinking too much about weather ...our bodies are not really evolving like you think . muscles do not really develop differently ...and these athletes already play in much harsher conditions than average body is used to so i do not even get point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 How is huffing and puffing and scrapping to a win against the worst ranked team(Australia) in the world cup dominating? yeah ignore the first game and from what i saw australia played well and baout huffing and puffing so what happened to brazil ? they did not even win and argentina was same ?

Sorry I strongly disagree with you i agree its a factor but disagree that you need years and years to get used to it you clearly over estimate the rate at which our bodies develop to climate ..human body has not changed much because of climate and any man can get used to any climate with proper training very quickly specially in case of athletes who have high stamina it stops being factor after some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
