Norway Doctor Criticizes World Cup Heat

Norway national team doctor Ola Sand has criticized the heat conditions at the World Cup in New Jersey as 'bordering on the indefensible' ahead of the Norway vs. Brazil match.

Sand noted temperatures exceeded 30 degrees with high humidity during training. He argues FIFA lacks an upper temperature limit and has not responded to their concerns.

While the team communicates well during breaks, Sand believes stricter measures are needed to protect players. syntagm.co.za
