England goalkeeper Joe Hart says the expected warm weather conditions in Brazil will not be used as an excuse for below par performances.
The Three Lions are preparing for their opening World Cup 2014 fixture against Italy which will be played in the Amazonian city of Manaus on June 14.
During the months of June and July, the temperature in Manaus can reach as high as 33 degrees Celsius (91 Fahrenheit) but Manchester City's Hart is not about to start worrying about something out of England's control.
"It's going to be hot out there, we're just going to have to deal with it," Hart said during a Facebook Q&A with England fans.
"No excuses when we're out there, it's only weather."
