I still don't know how exactly they want to have a plan for this world cup, I mean they can let one country host the whole grouping stage and other countries host the other stages one by one, otherwise the teams in the world cup won't have the same situation and it's not fair for some teams to playing in Canada and use the hotels there while other countries play on Mexico and use Mexican training fields and hotels I'm sure some teams will be unhappy and if they get bad results they will blame FIFA for it.

I don't think this is enough excuse, Infact, I don't think this is even an excuse at all..
And trust me, I don't think any of the team would care about where they lodges or the kind of hotels they used, and where other teams lodged, the food the ate and the hotels they used.

I believe they will all focus on their primary reason for being in those countries, and that is to play the football game and try to make their respective countries proud, they are not going there to party of to enjoy themselves, they are going there for a business, when time to party and have fun comes, I believe each of those players have more than enough money to afford himself any type of hotel in any part of the world he likes.

I disagree with you, there is a huge difference if your team plays in Canada where you can have better weather situations and better hotels, and in Mexico there you can't find this quality there. Regardless of that, I'm sure the quality of the stadiums and the fields are not the same in these three countries, and having a bad-quality field can be a reason for some players to get injured. That's why I guess this can be very important for any team to play in a country where they can get better services.

The FIFA has minimum requirements for every FIFA approved stadium. I am sure that you won't find a single stadium during the World Cup where the field looks more like an acre. That is not going to happen. The stadiums in Brazil and in Russia have been great as well and I can't remember that there were any complaints about the field quality. The only difference you mentioned might be the weather. But in total I believe the FIFA will try to create a level playing field for all teams involved. Minor difference can never be avoided, not even when the whole World Cup takes place in a single country. It is like playing in Wimbledon. Everyone wants to play on the Centre Court, but that's not possible.

I'm not saying FIFA will allow a bad quality stadium to host the world cup, they surely have some standards and they will check the stadiums before every game also there is the same situation for hotels and training fields and FIFA should warn them if they see any bad quality stadium in any counting hosting the world cup, but still I"m sure you know the weather situation is much better in Canada comparing to Mexico and in the USA they have LA where there are many better hotels comparing Mexico.

I have no idea whether climate change has changed anything, but this graphic says that Mexico is far from being the worst place to play soccer at during the World Cup.



I guess it is something that also can't really be predicted. It is not impossible that Canada has a hot summer and regarding the hotels, that is something all those teams take care of in advance. None of the teams will spend time in an average hotel. That's all taken care of and the FIFA will have their first look well in advance.
