@IamBalhamMatt @therealmissjo But who's whining? Only Americans in Europe. I live in Norway and have recently purchased a portable AC, because sometimes it does get hot here.

@therealmissjo Hm, I think they have a point. It *is* uncomfortably hot for a couple of weeks a year. We should get AC or stop whining. The yanks have every right to be pretty unimpressed.

I am sick of Americans asking why Europeans don’t have air conditioning.
The first problem is that they think “Europe” is one place with one climate.
How ignorant is that?
Take Iceland. Newsflash for Americans - this is in Europe too. The average July high temperature is 12–15°C (54–59°F), with lows near 8–10°C (46–50°F). Scandinavia, Russia, are all similar.
Would an American pay for A/C with those temperatures?
So let’s talk about southern Europe.
Buildings are thicker, shutters are used, the buildings are optimised for natural ventilation. Does this work in the hottest few days or weeks or the year? No.
But for many it is not cost effective to put in A/C for a few days or weeks a year.
And then there are the places that DO have A/C. Almost all newbuilds in southern Spain, France, Greece and Italy will install A/C. Many older buildings (especially hotels and shops) will retrofit it.
I have travelled extensively in the US and I can tell you that the quality of the US air conditioning sucks. In hotels it is noisy, vibrating, poor air quality. Same in many homes. Windows often can’t be opened. How ridiculous is that?
So look at your own air quality before you start criticising “Europeans”.

@shooniebear3 @NikkiNic9384 So when the break is happening in the US what are they showing on TV? We are seeing replays of the action etc.

@NikkiNic9384 Soccer has a continuous clock running for each half
This hydration break a new concept that was implemented.
The hate is that people think the us uses it for ads
English

@IHateSoccerPod Why would we do that? I've experienced rain on one side of the road and not on the other side.

@MuddyRC FFS, in the countries that need them they have them. I live in Norway and only need one a short period in summer, that's why I have a portable one. This shit is like me asking why all Americans don't have snow tyres from September/October to May.
English

Of course not. You have to pay for water in Europe.

🚨JUST IN: UEFA have confirmed there will NOT be any hydration breaks during the 2028 Euros

America is like the hot, rich, popular girl who everyone secretly has a crush on but nobody wants to admit it because they’ll never measure up to her so they pretend to hate her

I don’t think Americans grasp how much the rest of the world DOES NOT want to be like them.

@ODonnell4NH Have you seen the Norwegians in New York? They're having a great World Cup experience.
English

@MasterC22222222 @JohnBurrowsCFB Don't forget Cape Verde!
English

@JohnBurrowsCFB Cape Verde ranked 67th in the world has drawn against Spain ranked 2 and Uruguay ranked 16th. I'd say those are better results than what the US did, they were expected to beat Paraguay and Australia.
English

@glenn_tunes Glenn you can't blame AP for that, it didn't suddenly get expensive when Høyre left.
English

@ZachGarbarino Yes, with only American (US) teams playing.
English

@MrBrum43 @EsteemSeeker77 So you don't know who the teams are if they are not named in English?
