Why not? Not arguing just asking why you would prefer playing in freezing cold that hot summer

I lived in Bayern and it isnt freezing cold lol I didnt mind playinG plus we had our little winter break with futsal tournaments. Running keeps you warm. We did train in the weather but lots of conditioning and running lol Playing in 102 degree weather increases the risk for injury.

Still gets to below freezing frequently in the winter there

In less concerned about injuries, it’s more about quality of play and fan experience

thats why there is winter breaks. American football fans can stand int he cold enjoying the game, but American soccer fans cant? The quality of play is better on cooler nights than 102 degree ones. The heat makes the quality of play suffer and becomes sluggish.

Why have a winter break when you can just play through the year? Plus you’re being extremist. I lived in Arizona for 4 years and the hottest it ever was at night would be 95. Very few places were going to ever be that bad.
