People have been playing football in high altitude for many years. Why has it become an issue now? Everybody in the World deserves recognition to play football.
I live at sea level in Canada and I find this unjust. What other advantages do Brazil and Argentina feel they need? Obviously, this is coming from them. FIFA must recant this or be viewed as a sham (... well even more so)
Soccer should be a human right. Altitude is no more an advantage to home teams than the expensive coaching skills and equipment certain countries can afford to give their players that others can't.
How can there be arguments about players health? has there been any incident? wasn't Camerun's player incident worse due to high temperature in France?
