These hydration break ads are terrible. They're anti-football. They take you out of the game!

@Alex_Fleener101 i’m all for more teams getting in, but I don’t like the third place teams advancing. playing the entire group stage just to eliminate 16 teams is dumb.
i’m prepping my campaign for fifa presidency based solely on: • no commercial breaks outside of halftime • returning to a 32-team world cup • making sure italy never qualifies again
Center back who wears the No. 7 shirt and scores from a long throw-in = football heritage.
Ben Wright retweeted
It feels increasingly obvious that FIFA will keep hydration breaks for future World Cups regardless of the weather. FIFA loves money and adding in commercial breaks is the easiest way to guarantee higher media rights fees. It's that simple.
Ben Wright retweeted
There should never be a commercial break during a soccer game outside of halftime. Even if there’s a hydration break, the game should stay live. So clear that the addition of these breaks are financially motivated.
Ben Wright retweeted
FIFA (supposedly) has rules for broadcasters during World Cup hydration breaks. Fox broke them during the very first game, and even missed match action showing commercials... nytimes.com/athletic/73526…
Fox commercial breaks are already spilling over into the actual match. This was always how it was going to go. This was such an easy thing not to screw up, and they've done it on day one. Completely changes the feel of the match. It's awful.
Ben Wright retweeted
USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino is not a fan of FIFA’s hydration breaks: “I don’t like it. I only like it when the conditions are extreme, but when the conditions are good, it is unnecessary.” At this World Cup, hydration breaks in each half for every single game, even the ones that are indoors.
Ben Wright retweeted
We all knew FIFA’s motivations for the hydration break was financial and not “player safety” but my god how was it over exploited this fast.
All it took was literally the second hydration break for FOX to run too many commercials and miss some live action. Absolutely ridiculous conceit.
Fully in line with FIFA messing with a format that worked for no reason and making the product worse. You'd think someone in marketing would realize that sometimes things can be left alone.

And there it is, a commercial break during the water break Calling it “woke nonsense” is too kind
@lucaspanzica I’m so much angrier than I should be.
First ̶c̶o̶m̶m̶e̶r̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ hydration break at the World Cup! Historic!
