One of intangible things that makes football beautiful is the ebb and flow of momentum in a game, you could be under pressure and suddenly flick a switch before having 5-10 mins that see you score.

These “Hydration Breaks” directly alter that, all in the pursuit of money. Shite.

...aaaaand there it is. A "hydration break" in an indoor, climate-controlled stadium. You love to see it. This is what the sport is all about.

When a ref’s standing waiting for a TV producer to tell him when he's allowed to restart a game, you've stopped running a football tournament & started running an ad break with football in between.

Sad thing is, the Premier League is watching & learning🤦‍♂️

[Seb Stafford-Bloor @SebSB]

That Gianni Infantino unilaterally altered the structure of football matches is deserving of so much more anger.

[Amos Murphy @AmosMurphy_]

Curacao, ranked 82nd in the world, have Germany, ranked 10th, on the ropes... but let's stop for a "hydration break" in an air-conditioned stadium.

What an absolute farce.

What am I watching with this World Cup man?!

Pumping party music into the ground during hydration breaks 🤢🤮

This isn’t the NFL.

Gimmicks like this along with the bloated group stage and poor quality fixtures is making it hard to take this World Cup seriously.
