Oh 100%. See the hydration breaks were never meant for the players. They were meant for the broadcasters to show more ads. It's why there is so much pushback on them. In Qatar when they had the hydration breaks, the attention stayed on the field, not on "let's stuff 3 ads here".

And that's why I said (and several former and current players and coaches have said) that the decision for a hydration break in a game should be with the coaches of the teams playing that match. But that won't happen anytime soon.

Imagine that, prior to the match, Switzerland wants hydration breaks, but Argentina doesn't. Who will make the final call then?

I wonder if anyone will pick Belgium to beat Spain

Lets finish this thread tonight.

That's the thing to discuss. In my view if one team wants it, then both should get it, but the point is that it should be up for discussion. Or they should just state that the hydration break is really an ad break. FIFA is trying to keep both sides happy and they are failing in both.

Gonna be a great game today.

Morocco underperformed yesterday so the match was just meh.

I wanted to, but now I'm sticking with the obvious. Though I'll be very happy if Belgium wins.

France will easily get to the final if they get Belgium Spain vs France would be interesting.

Yeah but imagine if Belgium beats Spain. It'll be another astounding surprise like Norway beating Brazil.
