American football legend Landon Donovan has his reservations about the upcoming FIFA World Cup tournament in Qatar as regards the United States (US) team. The World Cup in Qatar would be held around the winter time of the year, which is a break from the norm. World Cup tournaments are held in the summer, but the next one in Qatar has been shifted to the winter part of the year due to the hot conditions in the Asian country during summertime.

Landon Donovan spoke to American media outlet Deadspinabout his concerns for a winter World Cup and how it could affect the chances of the US team under manager Greg Berhalter. Donovan talked about the World Cup in Qatar via a telephone conversation from his California base. He’s currently the manager and EVP (Executive Vice President) of San Diego Loyal SC who are in the second tier of professional football in the United States of America.
