Perhaps the only stain on Thursday’s curtain-raiser were FIFA’s newly-mandated “hydration breaks.”

When FIFA announced the change, it said the breaks were for “player welfare,” but many fans saw through the spin and assumed the breaks would be used by broadcasters to show commercials.

On Thursday, Fox, which holds the English-language U.S. broadcast rights, confirmed those fears.

It not only cut away to advertisements; during the second half of Mexico-South Africa, its commercials ran long and caused viewers to miss several seconds of action after play resumed. The blunder sparked an uproar among longtime fans.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: During Mexico vs South Africa, the referee had to keep the players waiting during the cooling break because FOX was still on a commercial break.

The match eventually resumed while FOX was still showing advertisements.

These cooling breaks are not related to player health, but are instead used to accommodate commercials.

Big up, Uncle Ian Wright for speaking up, and he's 100% correct.

Look how Qatar got dragged when they were hosting the World Cup.

Así han recibido las autoridades de Estados Unidos del criminal ultraderechista de Donald Trump a los futbolistas de la selección de Senegal, campeona de la Copa África. El Mundial de la vergüenza.

A Somali referee who is due to officiate at the World Cup has been denied entry to the U.S. after “vetting concerns” emerged upon his arrival in Florida over the weekend.

Omar Artan arrived at Miami International Airport on a flight from Istanbul on Saturday but was barred from entering the country following a “routine” inspection, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed in a statement to The Athletic.

Artan, the 2025 Confederation of African Football men’s referee of the year, is one of 52 referees handpicked by world governing body FIFA for the tournament.

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to referee at the World Cup, was denied entry to the United States.

He received a diplomatic passport from the Somali embassy but was turned away upon his arrival.

Omar Artan was elected Best African Referee in 2025.

No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.

This ought to be a very basic requirement.

A member of Iraq’s World Cup squad was held for questioning by U.S. immigration officials when he arrived in the country for the tournament on Friday.

According to Reuters, striker Aymen Hussein, the Iraq vice-captain and one of the country’s key players, was held at Chicago’s O’Hare airport for almost seven hours after arriving with his international team-mates and staff members.

Eze - All career penalties

People are overanalysing the penalty. He's been taking them the same way for years. It wasn't a good strike, but we've seen the very best miss on the biggest stage. That's football sometimes.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

A season to be proud of.

We pushed the boundaries over land and sea, and couldn't have done it without your support. Thank you, Gooners ❤️

His name is Taha Ali, and he’s just been called up to Sweden’s World Cup squad. 🇸🇪

The insane part? He was still playing FUTSAL until 2020 and didn’t make his First Division debut until he was 22 years old.

From futsal to the World Cup in 6 years. 🤯

[Connor Humm @TikiTakaConnor]

Mikel Arteta made some of the biggest calls he’s ever made today and he’s doing stuff I’d never expect.

That decision to play Rice at right-back was wrong and he realised his mistake and switched it shortly after by bringing in Mosquera.

He then substituted the substitute in Zubimendi because he was nowhere near the required level.

Bringing in Odegaard who changed the match.

Even Madueke for Saka was positive.

Unbelievable management.
