So why are folks complaining about hydration breaks - which in my view helps players?

You can see the change in momentum after most hydration breaks - and I think that’s good for the competitiveness of the sport.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Declan Rice: “It’s an obscene amount of games. The schedule was crazy, but what can we do about it? You can’t sit and complain”.

“We have to just get on with it for the moments like I had winning that Premier League”, told Telegraph.

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

This is why I haven’t really taken any of these hydration breaks criticism seriously.
You know the next World Cup is in countries where temperatures test 40 degrees Celsius, right?

[Madrid Zone @theMadridZone]

🚨 Kylian Mbappé: "My thoughts on hydration breaks? Don't ask us players for our opinion, we're very reactionary.

If tomorrow we're dominating at the 25th minute, and there's a hydration break, we'll be angry, because it breaks our rhythm, but if the weather is hot, or we're being dominated, I'll be happy."

I’m sure Spain thought they’re the “real winners” having #CPV in their group.

If you’ve been watching African football for the past 5 years, you’d know Cape Verde is a team most teams don’t like playing.

[Michael Caley @MC_of_A]

the real winners of that Uruguay - Cabo Verde draw?

Argentina, whose round of 32 opponents suddenly flipped from the loser of Uruguay - Spain to the winner of Cabo Verde - Saudi Arabia

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

Sensational.
I hope we have this type of experience in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Uruguay and Argentina

Can the US just host the World Cup every year

Xenophobia*

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

This is how it starts.
If you’re wondering how xenophobic has captured South Africa, it’s typically started like this - blaming “others” for market trends.

There’s always been far more Nigerians in Lagos than non-Nigerians. No time have they all been able to “afford” rent.

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

Agreed… and that’s why I’m outta here next week.

The perfect UK summer temp is like 21 to 24 degrees with clear skies.

35/36 degrees is not UK weather and requires a pool and an all inclusive bar.

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

How about what you’d do to attract the person that’ll do this for you?

Most commentaries here are about what people yearn for, instead of what they’d do to attract what they yearn for.

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

Oh wow. So unfortunate.
We’re dealing with the same here, unfortunately.
So sad. Condolences.

No one love to win more than Americans.
They *love* to win - anything! 😊

Seattle is so soccer-crazy that, to secure funding, the Seahawks stadium was required to comfortably meet the soccer field dimensions.

The Sounders joined MLS in 2009, immediately averaged 31K fans per match, double the league average, and have since won 2 MLS Cups, 4 U.S. Open Cups, a Supporters’ Shield, and the CONCACAF Champions League.

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

If US football teams can start to bid for players like Saudi Pro league (without the exaggerated amount), then we’re heading into an interesting era for football in the US.

[Josh Chavis @JoshChavis65]

I can’t speak for the entire country, but I can speak for my own backyard.

My baseball-obsessed 7 year old hasn’t ever so much as touched a soccer ball in his life and now he’s spending his evenings out here pretending he’s Flo Balogun.

I don’t think it’s possible to overstate the impact this World Cup will have on this sport’s popularity in America.

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

Sensational 😅

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

Yup, that’s standard noise in a football game.
I hope its popularity increases in the US.

[Sara Donchey @SaraDonchey]

This gives a better sense than the broadcast of how loud it was in Seattle today

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

For many who haven’t travelled through the US, the World Cup is in some way showing why it continues to be the number one destination for migration.

You can dream. And with luck and opportunity, it could happen!

[Ugo @Sir_Fin]

The US is on another level sha.

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

It’s not about nominal numbers. It’s about the percentage of the population.
Some countries are over a billion, yet football is also not a major sport.
Success is based on percentage of population interest as opposed to nominal numbers.

[Ian Miller @ianmSC]

What the Europeans fail to realize about US soccer fans is that even if only 20% of the country follows the sport, that’s roughly 70 million people, or more than the entire population of France or the UK

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

@vinijr seeing this and be like…

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

SENT OFF for covering his mouth! 🟥😲

It's a first at the World Cup as Paraguay's Miguel Almiron is dismissed under the new rule introduced earlier this year.

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

These two! 😅 Sensational pairing for US TV.

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

Star spangled! 🇺🇸
What a time.

[Sackeyprince @sackeyprince]

It’s such a shame that most countries would not get the chance to experience good leadership.
