The 'other Notts' played a cricket match on the hottest day of the year and a batsman occupied the crease from 11am until 6:30pm. It's not quite the intensity of football and they had longer breaks, but I would guess the overall physical exertion would be greater than any player at any level produces in a football match.

Edit: Forgot to add that FIFA selected Qatar to host a World Cup.

A 36 degree temperature would be a bit on the cool side over there!
With full cricket clobber on as well.

There is no chance the game will get postponed. Football gets played in hotter conditions than these.
