Soccer's main man, FIFA President Sepp Blatter, gave his strongest indication yet Friday that he would be in favor of moving the 2022 Qatar World Cup to the winter, instead of playing it in the traditional summer months, which -- hey -- only dates back to 1930. As Qatar is known for its intensely hot summers, Blatter believes that the rescheduling is imperative to protect the health of the players. "We must play at the most adequate period to have a successful World Cup," Blatter said. "We have to protect actors, the players, which means (playing) in winter."
