The Blues are currently in Philadelphia for their final group game against Tunis, live on talkSPORT, and are facing temperatures of 37 degrees, but due to 45 per cent humidity, that will feel like 40+.
A weather warning has been issued in Philadelphia, and while discussing the story with Jason Cundy and talkSPORT.com's Jack Cunningham, O'Hara revealed he's worried about the World Cup.
The United States, Mexico and Canada are set to host the 2026 World Cup around this time next year, and the heat is clearly going to be a factor.

He said: "I am sorry, you can't play football in that heat. I have tried. I have played out there; I've done it - you can't play in that heat.
"It is ridiculous, and we keep going on about it and saying, 'We've got the World Cup next year', but it's a massive problem.
"You are seeing the South American teams playing well [at the Club World Cup] - they are doing alright because they are used to it and are acclimatised to it.
"If you think you can just rock up there and do a two-week training camp...
"Alright, you could sleep and adapt to time, but it takes you years to acclimatise to weather like that.
"It is going to be a massive, massive problem next year, this World Cup.

"The Club World Cup has a bit of interest. But the whole world is watching the World Cup. You can't have players playing in 41 degree heat. It is ridiculous."
The point was then made about players potentially passing out, and O'Hara said: "I am telling you, It'll happen.
"You literally cannot breathe.
"I have trained and played in those conditions. It is impossible."
Cundy then questioned what could be done about it, and his co-host suggested some form of air-conditioned stadiums.
