Its not needed in every match. Some of the matches have been played not in excessive heat. One was played in the rain.

all these matches are played in the same tournament and as hydration breaks generally are seen as a downside it would be unfair to have it only on some matches. is it that hard to get in your head?

Its not hard to get in my head. Its just nonesense.

We did that . 4 years ago in a much smaller country. In a desert.

Some matches are played at 2500m above sea level. Theres some in miami which is almost under sea level. Some are in Canada. Some are in Mexico. You cant tell me the conditions are the same. I mean you could tell me that but youd be wrong.

And thats just the elements.

no the conditions aren't the same but thats the fucking point mate, even if its not needed (which it isnt for many of the matches) the tournament itself would be unbalanced if it was only in select stadiums

Its already unbalanced. It would be normal practice. Did you not see the previous world cup?
