So let me get this right then. Most of you think we should play in the winter and in that case, why not have the WC finals in Jan or Feb?

Indeed we could use our ground for ice hockey on alternate weeks!

ATB for tonight and think we will win 2-0.
Your point about the World Cup being held in the summer months does not really help your argument as International tournaments have, as far as I know, always been held in the summer when the domestic seasons are finished.
I would respectfully suggest that rather than forward thinking, those with your view are just in the minority
