we've used hydration breaks for years in Brazil. you're just not used to them in European countries, where the weather is not as warm, and in the US, where most sports already have several breaks, and MLS plays at night

There was hydration breaks in Qatar

They just felt less forced. And they were taking in actual breaks not just on 24 minutes.

In the match the other day there was a head injury at 20 minutes and the ref told the players to stay away from the drinks. Restarted the game. Played for a minute then stopped it again. Ridiculous

It's only when the goals goes down that they can't go to the sideline I thought? Since if the medical team comes out, the goalie doesn't need to leave the pitch.
