No easy games at the World Cup, that’s what makes it the spectacle that it is. Croatia are not the same team they were 10 years ago though, we’ve got this.
 
Bearing in mind the stadium is air conditioned will they still be having hydration breaks?
Of all the Herberts, I mean pundits, tossing it off during the World Cup. Stephen Warnock as come out with the best suggestion for the hydration breaks. It actually makes sense. Well done Mr Warnock...I've never said that before.
 
But what did he say?
Said the break should last max of 45 seconds, and all the water, wet towels etc should be on the other side of the pitch to where the dugouts are, therefore no coaching can take place....Of course it's for U.S. tv. Without advertising they wouldn't survive. Plus, the match clock should be stopped and start again when they get underway again.

its not for us tv exactly

telemundo are not showing adverts

fox is, but so are channels in the netherlands as well at least
 
how long until it comes into the champions league, the premier league?

when the broadcasters see just how much these companies are making in a month of these breaks..
it only sems a matter of time
and 30 minute half times... some still wouldn't be back in their seat until 15 mins into second half and need a piss 5 minutes later..
