They're not going to get beaten up early by travel, heat or playing what can be classed as knock-out football in the group stages against other teams who should go far in the competition. A trip to Glasgow in round of 16 is probably the most they step outside their comfort zone for non-footballing reasons as long as things go to their plan.
