a stadium that holds 65,000 people.
So it's kind of, it's quite concerning, I suppose, in that regard.
And yeah, just the prices seems to have really increased public transport prices, the ticket prices themselves for the matches and just so many other things as well in terms of the hotels and obviously the internal flights between matches as well is huge.
Yeah, I can remember seeing images of the towels around the necks and ice packs on hand as well.
And yeah, I think even just there has been some climate studies done prior to this and they're saying that the heat will be dangerous or can't
It could be potentially dangerous for not only the players, but the supporters as well.
You look at the likes of Miami where, you know, the humidity there could be an issue or Mexico City as well.
You throw in the altitude there, it's over 2,200 metres.
So that would be a big one too.
But yeah, dehydration and heat illness, I think could be...
but they are factoring it in.
FIFA have allowed hydration breaks for all matches to be used in the World Cup.
So whether they're played indoors or outdoors, they will have those hydration breaks, which I'm sure broadcasters will be happy enough about as well because they can sell a bit more advertising.
It's hard.
That's a tough one.
But I suppose we're supporting, yeah, Ghana and Cape Verde, really, just with the Irish connections.
And I think, yeah, Spain would probably be my pick of the tournament.
I think they might go all the way.
But I'd probably put France and Portugal right up there, too.
OK.
