Hydration breaks.

Football is a game of momentum and anyone who's ever watched a thrilling 90 minutes would agree that most players or supporters would give up a half time break when a great game is being played. Why? Stops destroy that momentum and flow of the incredible spectacle of association football.

Our sport, a 150 year old sport no less, is the world's most popular to watch and to play.

Not the NFL
Not the NBA
Not MLB

Association Football.

So a few pundits, fans and journalists doing TV and sponsors bidding by opining that hydration breaks are a good idea couldn't give one good reason as to how the game would be made better.

Coaches work SEVEN DAYS A WEEK to drill instruction into players, so in game instruction isn't needed.

Players can hydrate whenever they like. They're not fucking babies needing a feed.

The breaks CREATE a STOP OF MOMENTUM. And I've never seen one match in thousands I've watched or played in that's been better with more stoppages. Not ONE.

So to this angling for change, what makes you think you're so special to change the world's most popular sport to play and watch that's been both of those things for 150 years?

Minor tweaks? Absolutely. The back pass rule was being abused, so it was changed. A materially good thing for the players and fans.

More breaks? At a time where stops in play for diving, cheating, VAR etc are colliding with hydration breaks? No thanks.

Those wanting this are working for broadcasters and sponsors who want a bigger piece of the game. Never forget that.

Football. A simple game ruined by football illiterate fucknuts.

England need to pray for DR Congo to win.

We're not capable of doing to Senegal what Norway & France did.

Another corner.

Fuck this playing football nonsense.

[Mr. Smith @CandleGuyVI]

England haven't got the players with the skill level to play intricately. The players on thier club teams that can do it, are not English.

England haven't got the players to produce the speculative or the spectacular. The players on their club teams that can, are not English.

[Mr. Smith @CandleGuyVI]

@MsiDouglas We're so weak at the back.

Yes, there'll be more space and less of the ball against better teams but we'll unquestionably concede multiple goals against any of the 7 nations better than us.

This has 2014 vibes.

[Mr. Smith @CandleGuyVI]

Panama have only ever lost games at the World Cup.

They will get a 0-0 with England.

England will go out at the round of 32, regardless of opposition.

[Mr. Smith @CandleGuyVI]

Nations that will win the World Cup between 2026 and the end of time:

Brazil
France
Argentina
Spain

That's it.

There'll never be a country to win it again.
There'll never be a first time winner.
