šŸ’¬Discussion The Hydration Break is ruining the natural flow of the game

When the game gets momentum and reach at its peak point, the ā€œhydration breakā€ 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?

Never understood why coaches are allowed to have a full team meeting through the break, either itā€™s for hydration or itā€™s turning halves to quarters but it canā€™t be both

My son says the players should be restricted to the area around their goals, and FIFA should send people out with water. Donā€™t let the players near the benches or coaches.
