La pausa de hidratación ha perdido su significado. FIFA ha americanizado el Mundial con una pausa obligatoria e independiente de las condiciones. Más ingresos con anuncios de 3 minutos y partido dividido en 4 cuartos, imitando el deporte estadounidense. Se desvirtúa el fútbol.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Soccer has always been defined by free-flowing, unbroken action. But for the World Cup in America, FIFA is using “hydration breaks” to shoehorn in commercials. https://t.co/qFOFyiZhYd

You just scored a goal. The momentum is on your side. You’re trying to get another goal and then boom!! Referee blows the whistle for an ad break.

Pocas veces visto tanto consenso en el fútbol como en el repudio a la "pausa de hidratación"

[Sage @Sage_FCB]

🚨Roy Keane on Virgil van Dijk speaking about hydration breaks at the current World Cup:

🗣Roy Keane:

I actually agree with Van Dijk on this.

Look, if players are speaking about something that affects the game, people should listen. But for me, some of these changes in football are getting ridiculous.

We all understand the weather is hot, fine. But football has always been played in different conditions. You don’t keep stopping the game every few minutes for hydration breaks. It kills the rhythm, it kills the intensity, and that’s a big part of football gone.

Let’s be honest, a lot of this doesn’t feel necessary. It feels like the game is being adjusted around everything except the football itself. And now you’ve got constant stoppages, cameras cutting in, adverts everywhere… it all feels a bit over the top.

If Qatar could deal with the heat by actually improving stadium conditions, then surely there are better solutions than breaking up matches every 20 minutes.

At the end of the day, football should be about the game. Not interruptions, not commercials, not stopping every time there’s a chance to squeeze something else in.

Si el cooling break tiene un millón de haters, soy uno de ellos.

Si el cooling break tiene 0 haters, he muerto.

Si el mundo está en contra del cooling break, yo estoy con el mundo.

Si el mundo está a favor del cooling break, yo estoy en contra del mundo.

[SMALLIE @the_smallie]

This World Cup hydration break is the most utter woke nonsense I’ve seen in modern day football.

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Virgil van Dijk says he's not a fan of the mandatory hydration breaks introduced at the World Cup 🤔

The hydration breaks are unnecessary. The commercials are offensive. @FIFAWorldCup @FOXSoccer

This is the year when the game of two halves became the game of four quarters. And the greatest sport and event was damaged for fistfuls of dollars. Hydration breaks ruin the game’s flow and frustrates fans and viewers. If hydration breaks were solely about player welfare then they would be linked to the temperature in the stadia. It’s a nonsense having a three-minute break in an air-conditioned arena.

Fifa should long ago have established a working party of coaches, sports scientists, national team doctors and Fifpro to agree a set temperature at kickoff, say 25C, which triggers the breaks. That would prove the breaks were for player welfare. At the moment, and to nobody’s surprise, it is widely accepted that these breaks are for US TV to accommodate commercials. Big bucks for the small screen.

Fifa should have thought more about the effect on games and to fan (and viewer) experience when negotiating. Coaches’ desire for a mid-half tactical time-out masquerading as a drinks stop should be resisted anyway. Games have been played for 150 years without needing such intervention. Coaches can shout instructions. And who says that 22 mins and 67 mins is when a coach needs to intervene anyway. It’s nonsense. It’s about money.

Respected and sane footballing voices from Virgil van Dijk to Mauricio Pochettino have spoken out against the breaks. Fifa should listen to them not appear only to listen to the rustle of dollar bills. It’s important that there is resistance to this from all over. Because if we tolerate this, our TV games could be next. BBC can’t do ads, ITV says it won’t follow its US counterparts. But it has been discussed by TV people. It’ll come one day. #FIFAWorldCup.

So, the police were "hired" to escort goons to All Saints Cathedral, and only turned to "arrest" them when they saw CCTV cameras? We are taking this thing lightly but this country will be overrun by goons. Source: Citizen TV (Nipashe).

World Cup hydration breaks are anti-football and another shameless cash grab | talkSPORT https://t.co/cLuHWGFq13

[Mauricio Silva G. @msilvaazul]

La presión mediática logró que se permita hablar español en todas las ruedas de prensa de este Mundial.

Se necesita más presión mediática para acabar con las pausas ‘pautas’ de hidratación.

[Víctor Romero @SoyVictorRomero]

Basta de la pausa de hidratación.

Es una completa basura al juego. Ya está bastante desvirtuado para dañarlo más.

[OZ 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇳🇴🇨🇮 @OrlandoNapoli22]

These cooling breaks right after a goal right when the games starting to get good are actually cancer.

Genuinely fuck FIFA and Infantino for giving in to this

[Alex Turk @TurkTalksFC]

The Americans have actually forced quarters - disguised as ‘hydration breaks’ - into our beautiful game.

And succeeded. Sickening.

[Diego @dieganga]

DETESTO las pausas de hidratación que rompen el ritmo del partido. Te odio Infantino por destruir al fútbol por tus negocios #FIFAWorldCup #MundialRTVE
