Turkiye vs. USA World Cup thread. Hydration breaks.

Posted by LuchAAA on Thu Jun 25 18:15:24 2026

Hello handles of the chat community. Hope you're all doing well.

Tonight, the USMNT is playing Turkiye, the country formerly known as Turkey.

As you all know, FIFA has introduced hydration breaks to the game. This essentially makes the World Cup a four quarter game, like football.

Nothing wrong with a hydration break. Probably reduces the risk of an injury by taking a short break. But it also allows broadcasters to air commercials.

I've noticed FOX is showing commercials, but Telemundo isn't.

Could this be because us Americans have no problem with this new intermission because we aren't traditionalist like Hispanics watching on Telemundo, who would probably be appalled by seeing commercials before halftime?

Maybe as the tournament advances, we'll see ads on Telemundo during the hydration breaks.
