The planned start time for tomorrow's Olympic final, at 11 local time (04 Swedish time), has aroused criticism and the two final teams have asked Fifa and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to move it to the afternoon.
A player who is really critical of the playing time, which most people think is added to lunchtime because the American TV company NBC wants it on a good broadcast time in the USA, is the Swedish third goalkeeper Zecira Musovic.
“Even considering playing a final at 11 am local time is a direct danger to players' health due to the extreme weather conditions.
Again, it is money that speaks in a discussion that should not be a discussion ", writes Musovic on Twitter.
The weather forecast for Tokyo is currently pointing to 34 degrees at noon, with 53 percent humidity.
