There's no way we'd have the ad, sorry hydration, break if this was hosted by any other country.

Fifa is to blame of course, but the real culprit is Fox. And more generally, as usual the US destroys every sport it touches.

American sports are defined by being designed for tv, with a million timeouts, and no flow. This is exactly what they've done to football, now its a game of 4 quarters.

And why is Fifa allowed to do this when its illegal - the rules clearly state a hydration break cannot be >1min and cannot be used for coaching

But of course nothing will happen.
