🚨 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.

🚨🗣Steven Gerrard: "this fifa world cup in USA is becoming the worst tournament even before it get started! This is not how it is supposed to be, the weather in the US is terrible for players to play in, and we have news of the Somali referee Omar Artan who was appointed by FIFA denied entry, Iran saying FIFA has withdrawn fans World Cup ticket allocation, couple with funny security checks [Kevin Debruyne Belgium and Senegal players]
"I have to say it again this World Cup is starting to look like a mess, and the tournament hasn't even properly begun yet."
"Usually, before a World Cup, we're talking about the favourites, the star players, and the football. Instead, we're talking about travel problems, ticket controversies, and immigration issues."
"The Omar Artan situation is one of the most disappointing stories I've seen. FIFA selected him because they believed he was good enough to officiate at the World Cup, yet he was denied entry into the United States and will miss the tournament."
"Imagine working your whole life to become the first Somali referee at a World Cup and then being prevented from taking part for reasons completely unrelated to football."
"Then you have Iran's federation saying their allocation of World Cup tickets for supporters was withdrawn just days before the competition. Whether you agree with a government or not, supporters should not be the ones paying the price."
"I've also seen players and delegations complaining about the level of security checks and the delays involved. At some point, people stop feeling welcomed and start feeling like they're being treated as suspects."
"The weather is another concern. We're talking about matches being played in extreme summer conditions. The players are expected to perform at the highest level while dealing with heat that can completely change the rhythm of a game."
"A World Cup should be about bringing the world together. Instead, every day seems to bring another story that has nothing to do with football."
"The worrying thing is that these aren't isolated incidents anymore. When ticket disputes, entry restrictions, and organisational concerns keep appearing, people naturally begin questioning the tournament itself."
"I still hope the football saves the competition because the World Cup is bigger than any host nation. But right now, the headlines aren't making FIFA look good, and they certainly aren't making this look like the celebration of football it was supposed to be."
Ovhoes and DJ Fluffydemiks spent two weeks celebrating Drake dissing Jay Z on Meltman and “Janice” being Jay 😂
Now after Jay cooked his ass with that freestyle, it’s “he wasn’t even talking about Jay” and Drake is the victim again. Imma need y’all to pick a storyline and stick to it cuz it’s getting embarrassing 💀
@DefaultReece This is why I hate Drake fans. They try to push this narrative like he’s the victim. Album after album Drake is constantly dissing someone. Then Drake fans get mad whenever someone say something back to Drake.
Drake talk so much shit it just catches up with him, that’s it.
Oh so Drake wasn’t going at him on his latest album? Why would Drake diss someone irrelevant? Niggas, like what’s going on ? How do you guys think this way ? What is relevance ? Why are you commenting on him if he’s not relevant dawg ? Would it even be of your interest?
@_NhlanhlaNkosi_@Llekamania_ If it's not that it's Financial Fair Play nonsense, let Pirates develop players for Bafana Bafana because Sundowns mandate is not the same as Pirates..
@_NhlanhlaNkosi_@Llekamania_ Choose other teams to feed Bafana Bafana you guys lebo mafikizolo because over 20years Sundowns been going to South America for players it wasn't a problem that time because Sundowns wasn't winning, today Sundowns is winning now it's Bafana this Bafana that..
