FIFA, Arsene Wenger and World Cup organisers
Saturday
Arsene Wenger says FIFA will review the impact of mandatory hydration breaks after the World Cup. The three-minute pauses were used in every match, regardless of weather or venue, and drew boos from fans as the tournament progressed.
FIFA introduced the breaks for player welfare, but broadcasters also used them for commercials and coaches treated them like tactical timeouts. Wenger said FIFA has not reached a conclusion yet and will analyse whether they should continue.
