These wee 3 min liquid breaks in each half are annoying.
They are always breaking up a teams momentum in the ascendancy, giving an advantage to the other team.
Give the players a few pound coins and have vending machines placed around the pitch instead.

And solely used to sell advertising during the half. The ref couldn't restart the game the other night when he wanted to as the advertisement was still running on TV. Shambles.

Trying to get football into quarters for advertising.
Absolutely hate FIFA.

Heading towards nutcase Wenger's idea of the game being reduced to 60mins of 4 x 15 minute quarters.

Zikos, that is exactly what it is now a game of 4 quarters. Don't be surprised to see the 3 minute breaks become 5 minutes as we move into the knock out stages and the temperatures rise higher.

If water breaks are needed, the coaches should be nowhere near the teams. Plenty of subs can carry water bottles to a designated part of the pitch in the half you are defending.

Instead of water / advert breaks, turn the sprinklers on every 20 mins. Aye? I have other ideas, incl the use of trained chimps or labrador retreivers. American socca fans would love it.

Is there a Maternity Unit beside the pitch with all these water breaks.
