why is the stadium so empty?

Danish commentator said many of the people in the sun seemed to move into the shadow areas of the stands.

 

[fuenf]

Is it me or the Stadium is empty?

why is the stadium so empty?

most likely it's just too hot to sit in the stands..

 

[Mobius 1]

That stadium has way too many open seats for a 16 World Cup game

why is the stadium so empty?

Is it me or the Stadium is empty?

People moving to shaded areas.

 

[Raven Prime]

I'm getting more and more confident the Dutch will win this, Mexico had 40 minutes of fun but failed to capitalize.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I thought it was explained people have moved to the shade.

 

[maniac-kun]

why is the stadium so empty?

it sold out people standing in hte shadow because its to hot at the seats.

 

[kamorra]

why is the stadium so empty?

They all sit on the shadowy side of the stadium. Commentary mentioned it right now.

 

[Sr Kitsune]

why is the stadium so empty?

Apparently because of the heat.

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

so much potential

 

[gloomy]

why is the stadium so empty?

They aren't missing much.

 

[mellz]

why is the stadium so empty?

They're standing in the shade instead of sitting in the sun

 

[Xater]

Back to kicking the ball around...

 

[Kiraly]

Too hot to sit in the sun... QATAR lol

 

[silver.tongue]

cooling breaks are kinda usual in Brazil. Believe me guys, it gets THAT hot

Not really. I mean, we have no matches played at 1PM, right?

Cooling breaks only happen during daylight saving time, when the 4PM game is played under a 3PM sun.

2010. It has taken FIFA 4 years to realize what a stupid decision it was.

FIFA took that bribe money...

 

[kingslunk]

People moving to shaded areas.

Lol it should be so full that people can't move to shades areas.

 

[StopMakingSense]

most likely it's just too hot to sit in the stands..

Yeah, you can see in wide crowd shots that the shadow areas are packed, but the areas in sun are carved out, people-wise

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

High boot right there.

 

[jamesinclair]

It's funny how the A-League consistently has games in above 30 degree heat without any breaks like that. (Season is played in summer)

We build em strong down under.

Watched a game last year in 35 degree heat. Was beautiful

Mls does the same. Doesn't mean it produces good games

 

[spekkeh]

Sorry neutral viewers. Summer is 16 degrees and rain in the Netherlands. We can't cope with this.

 

[saelz8]

Cuba Gooding Jr on Netherlands bench?

[GoldenEye 007]

It sold out.

 

[TCRS]

[maniac-kun]

Holland doing a whole lot of nothing

 

[Lkr]

Cuba Gooding Jr on Netherlands bench?

We'll have a sequel to Radio this holiday season

 

[Cellbomber]

That image of the guy drinking is great. It's commercial quality and if I was head of a bottled water company I'd be hiring him now. That takes skill to do with your eyes closed!

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

/dead

Spoiler

because of heatstroke

Nah

Is this real or shopped? Looks like an episode of Fargo. (TV series)

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Come on US guys, it gets hot here, but the humidy is not as high.

And all the sports I played we got water breaks, plus our games are sectioned nicely with breaks anyways.

 

[Xando]

Too hot to sit in the sun... QATAR lol

Stadiums will be so empty

 

[mellz]

Cuba Gooding Jr on Netherlands bench?

Kluivert

 

[Regulus Tera]

That should have been a yellow.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

It is 100% real. Costa Rica v United States world cup qualifying last winter

 

[USF]

It's 50C under the sun at this time here in GCC (Qatar). Just imagine...

 

[xbhaskarx]

This is straight out of a commercial

 

[Dr.Acula]

This is going to get quoted a lot in relationship-GAF.

 

[DrM]

Even players are keeping the game on the shady side of the pitch

 

[JCizzle]

Dutch players will have to stab and murder someone to get a card

 

[Mau ®]

That was close!

 

[CoolOff]

Cuba Gooding Jr on Netherlands bench?

Chubby Kluivert.

 

[Talamius]

Some marketing exec is cursing loudly that the bottle wasn't turned the other way.

 

[Tarkus]

[Broder Salsa]

Could be fun!

 

[kingslunk]

It sold out.

Doesn't mean it's at max capacity.

 

[TCRS]
