Nah. Senegal lost from the first second of this second. Their midfield became flat and everything else went bad for them. So sad to see after an impressive first half performance.

[Classykinging @Classykinging]

Quite interesting

When you stand in Tahajjud tonight, ask Allah to remove every form of delay in your life. Whether in marriage, career, or academics, may He clear every obstacle and grant you ease. Kun faya kun. When Allah wills something to happen, He simply says, “Be,” & it is. Keep believing

[Classykinging @Classykinging]

Senegal has been by far the better side in this game so far.

[Classykinging @Classykinging]

AFCON on world stage you mean 🤏🏾

[The WolfFather 🐺🌹 @DelgadoPrime]

Proper AFCON fixture 🫢

[Classykinging @Classykinging]

[Adika @Adikastakes]

“My mum could not be here either for a visa issue, and the money we had to pay for it.”

This is genuinely sad. What FIFA and the U.S. have done in this WC should not be brushed off as just another tournament controversy. A historic disgrace.

The World Cup in one statement.

[Classykinging @Classykinging]

A draw but it feels like a win to one side and a loss to the other side.

[Classykinging @Classykinging]

Cape Verde has been incredible defensively, you just have to give it to them. The biggest upset so far this World Cup.

Lamine Yamal warming up! The #mainevent is about to kick off

Lagos is such a dysfunctional city. People beg you for money like they’re threatening you. Police and streets louts, and service staff, no difference. Begging with audacity everywhere ☹️

Why would I “show love” to you, a stranger, with my safety at risk if I don’t?

[Vaughan @oluwafifunmii]

48 team World Cup, Nigeria couldn’t make it and no one at NFF or ministry of sports lost their job. Smh

Today marks exactly 32 days of captivity for the teachers & schoolchildren abducted from Oriire in Oyo State.

32 days of torture & starvation

We do not have leaders. They have all failed!

Fox paid $485 million for the rights to broadcast this World Cup. The New York Times put the fair market value at $1 to $1.5 billion. The hydration break is how Fox gets its money's worth.

FIFA announced mandatory 3-minute pauses midway through each half of all 104 World Cup 2026 matches, not just hot ones. That includes games inside climate-controlled domed stadiums with roofs. The announcement came at a World Broadcaster Meeting in Washington DC. FIFA said the decision was made after consultation with coaches and broadcasters.

A few months later, FIFA gave broadcasters the green light to sell ads during the pauses. Fox gets 2 minutes and 10 seconds per break, starting 20 seconds after the whistle and ending 30 seconds before play resumes. Across all 104 games, that's 832 potential ad slots that didn't exist in soccer before this tournament. Fox and Telemundo project a combined $850 million in ad revenue from the 2026 World Cup.

The player welfare argument is also real. Argentina's Enzo Fernandez said he felt "dizzy" in "very dangerous" temperatures during last summer's Club World Cup in the US, where some games approached 100 degrees Fahrenheit. FIFA had reason to act. But it applied those breaks to every match regardless of conditions, and opened a commercial window that makes this World Cup more ad-friendly than any before it.

Fox proved the point on day one. In the opener between Mexico and South Africa, Fox missed the 30-second return window FIFA mandated. The ball was already in play when the network came back from commercials.

Coca-Cola, a top-tier global FIFA partner for decades, runs the hydration stations on the field. That same 3-minute pause serves three commercial interests at once: the field sponsor, Fox's ad revenue, and Fox's streaming subscribers.

The 2030 World Cup goes to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. The 2034 tournament lands in Saudi Arabia. Both regions see extreme summer heat. FIFA has not confirmed whether the pauses will outlast this summer's tournament. But $850 million in new advertising inventory tends to answer that question on its own.
