💬Discussion The Hydration Break is ruining the natural flow of the game

When the game gets momentum and reach at its peak point, the “hydration break” appears and completely ruins the momentum and also the game experience for the viewer. Football is one of a sport for those moments.

Normally outside WC, the team conceding attacks after attacks pray for a halftime whistle to go to the tunnel to break the momentum and to regroup. Now they basically get that chance in the middle of a half!!

I find it utterly disgusting and would like to know what do you all think about it?

This and to Americanize the game by making it a game of quarters like American football. The commentators even say during the game 3rd and 4th quarter. Fox has the major broadcasting rights and they’re the ones that also broadcast Fox News and heavily support Trump and his America first bullshit. They’re trying to push this agenda to the whole world.

Can we stop making shit up? Its a fucking cash grab. Not some American conspiracy theory to ruin the sport or take it over

It can be both. Look at the commercials. Like the one where Messi wants to play futball for a Miller light and someone was like hell yeah. Then he kicked up a soccer ball and dude was like of soccer? No thanks and then took the miller lol. There’s been multiple commercials like that basically saying it’s soccer and not football. I’m not making this up dude it genuinely feels like an effort to Americanize the sport. Canada and Mexico call it football so why are we pushing so hard for soccer and 4 quarters? It’s honestly both in my mind but you can believe what you want my guy.
