🇳🇱 Virgil van Dijk is one of the first players at the World Cup to speak out against these hydration breaks:
🗣️ “I have been watching almost every game and I don’t really like the hydration breaks. And for the people watching on television it’s also not great.”
“If it’s REALLY HOT, then obviously you need it, but you need to look at it game by game.”
“But I think I have said enough already…..”
He's absolutely spot on to call FIFA out, as they've just sneakily turned football into a game of four quarters, like NFL or basketball so that broadcasters can sell more advertising.
It's disgusting, it's a clear ploy to get more money and they've dressed it up as a player welfare measure.
