June 25

[edit]

Are FIFA's game temperatures the game average, the starting temperature or what?

[edit]

Does this refer to some varient of the FIFA (video game series) array of programs (about which I myself know nothing)? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.125.75.224 (talk) 15:52, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think it refers to actual matches of the current FIFA World Cup. See a recent match report, which indicates the game temperature as well as wind speed and humidity. --Theurgist (talk) 21:47, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The question doesn't make sense, because the temperature is not going to change significantly over the course of 90 minutes. --Viennese Waltz 07:19, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Dunno where you live, but a change of 20 degrees Celsius in 90 minutes is not unknown where I live. And where I live doesn't matter. The point is that's an absolute statement that should not be. HiLo48 (talk) 07:23, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1950 World Cup final footage

[edit]

Does the footage of at least the second half of Maracanaço exist? If not, is there at least the highlights' reel somewhere? Would I possibly have to fork out money to see either? All I've ever seen is the 2nd Uruguayan goal from a notoriously poor angle and the final corner of the match which was absurdly cut short by the final whistle as it was whipped in. Not to take anything away from the mighty Albiceleste, though. Anyway, looking forward to hearing from you, as ever. 31.217.28.130 (talk) 23:34, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The programme recollects the famous match, which was held from the 24th of June to the 16th of July, and is considered one of the memorable games of the time." Looks purposefully ambiguous the wording, as nothing of note exists regarding the action on the pitch. I don't mind spending the dollars, but is there anything better? 31.217.28.130 (talk) 14:03, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
