From what I can gather, there will be four time slots for the group games, being 5am, 8am, 11am & 2pm (all central).  The last of the group games (this is unclear from what I read) and all of the knockout games will be in 2 time slots, 10am and 2pm.  The final will be at 7am.  Could be a lot worse.

Well good for not losing all 3, but Croatia and Belgium are damn tough.

If by “damn tough”, you mean “old, slow, and/or frequently injured”…

…then I agree. 
 

And there is nothing that old & slow guys love more than running after kids in the heat. ESPECIALLY European old people who have grown up playing in cool climates.

SEE: Italy, Spain, England 2014

The average high in Quatar in November is 85 and average low is 67.  Doesn't seem like weather should be much of a factor.

Yeah, Belgium are tilting on the old side and as good as Hazard is, he’s always hurt.  All the ability in the world doesn’t cancel unavailability

So you don’t know anyone from England? No one?

When it gets into the 80°s, that’s a “heat wave” that leads all of the news shows.

Going from gray days in the 40°s & 50°s to days in the upper 70°s through to the low 90°s is going to have all of their white players pink/red.

England is predominantly a young team, so they won’t be hit as hard as Croatia (old & small player pool)…

…& Belgium (old or green).

Yes, the magical air conditioning was going to allow them to host during the normal summer window.
