They don't record record highs in the shade.
And if it's 120 in Qatar, it's going to be 145 on the field because of the heat rising off the surface, and everything else that goes into it. That's a different discussion altogether once you've gotten that high.
Playing in Qatar is not comparable to playing anywhere the US had its WC games back in 1994, period.
