This is a great interview with Harry Redknapp and Jermaine Defoe. One of the revelations – Scott Munn not giving Defoe an opportunity to coach the 1st team strikers – sums up everything that's wrong with the way Tottenham is run nowadays. Incredible incompetence and negligence.

[Félix de Bedout @fdbedout]

Lo vuelvo a repetir: Infantino está logrando lo impensado: que extrañemos a Blatter, que estaba al mando de una bandola de sinvergüenzas, pero por lo menos respetaban la esencia del juego; esta dirigencia de la FIFA poco a poco va a dejar al fútbol irreconocible.

[Annemarie Dray @AnnemarieDray]

This is truly horrendous. Curaçao have just scored their first ever World Cup goal and have momentum and then they stop the game for commercials. Absolutely detest this. No place for this nonsense in football.

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

That game was really springing to life. Thankfully the hydration break was there to completely ruin that.

[Fredrik @F_Edits]

The first football teams who agree to just ignore the forced advertisement break when they don’t need like it (like if they’re indoor / normal temperatures) gets a permanent place in Football Hall of Fame

[Eusemoz @Eusemoz]

Everyone should bombard the @FIFAcom, @FIFAWorldCup, @fifamedia accounts with comment about these god awful ‘hydration breaks’ complaining to eachother or social media won’t do anything. Bombarding them probably won’t either, but at least they can see the public discontent!

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

🚨 VINI JR JUST TOLD FIFA: “WE’LL PAY THE FINE — BUT NOBODY FROM US IS DOING HALF-TIME INTERVIEWS.”

During Brazil’s World Cup match, Vinícius refused the mandatory tunnel interview.

Reporter: “You’ll get a huge fine for this.”

Vini: “We’ll pay. But nobody is coming to the mic.”

This isn’t arrogance. It’s players finally saying enough to FIFA’s corporate circus.

Half-time should be for tactics, water, recovery — not feeding the broadcast machine while the game gets sliced up for ads (sound familiar with those forced “welfare” breaks?).

FIFA under Infantino has turned football into a product. Mandatory everything. Player focus as an afterthought. Suits in Zurich cashing in.

Brazil and Vini just pushed back. Raw. Direct. No bowing to the machine.

The beautiful game belongs to the players on the pitch — not boardrooms selling every second.

Who else is done with this?

Jurgen Klopp has slammed the 2026 World Cup hydration breaks, claiming the sport is being "held hostage" by commercial interests 💧

There’s something so inherently wrong with a society that can’t go 45 minutes without an ad.

[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.

[Bartolo @BartoloOpina]

Lo que acaba de pasar con la pausa de hidratación después del gol de Curazao es exactamente el motivo por el que estoy tan en contra.

Alemania había quedado tocada, Curazao se le venía arriba a puro envión anímico y, de golpe, te frenan el partido, enfrían todo y lo reinician como si nada.

El fútbol no se juega en cuatro cuartos. Esto no es la NBA, la NFL ni uno de esos deportes yankees armados alrededor de las interrupciones.

Dejen de alterar el deporte más popular de la historia.

[Mark Bosnich @TheRealBozza]

Massive congratulations to the @Socceroos … one of their greatest World Cup wins of all time… Patrick Beach and Paul Okon-Engstler answered the questions that needed to be answered…enjoy it,u deserve it.xmb @FIFAWorldCup

[Hansi’s Barça 🇩🇪 (fan) @Flickxball]

this was nasty from this Australian player against Turkey bro 😭

[Ray Gatt @Gatty54]

I thought Popa was out of his mind playing Beach ahead of Ryan. But, he has had the last laugh, not just with that decision but the way he had the Socceroos ready to go. Committed, well organised, compact. Well done Popa.

[Jordan Patu @Jordan_Patu]

Socceroos World Cup opener falling at 2:00 PM on a Sunday. These World Cup time slots feel like a little treat for all the years of waking up to watch football at stupid hours in the morning.

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

A clean sheet and a dream debut for Patrick Beach, who made the most saves ever by an Australia goalkeeper in a World Cup match 😮

[Santiago G @sgarciaz]

Pausa de hidratación a las 9:30pm en Boston a 24 grados. Infantino acabó con el fútbol. Es nuestro deber moral criticar esta estupidez hasta que la quiten.

[Neil Killick @neil_killick]

@drwinston001 Was in the same English class as Alanis Morrissette!

[AusFootHQ @ALeagueHQ]

🌟🇦🇺 Patrick Beach (22) with an INSANE MotM performance:

• 8 saves
• 1.54 goals prevented
• 3 saves from inside the box
• 1 clean sheet
