No one objects to hydration breaks if hydration breaks are required.

Yeah.

I totally agree with you.

You can honestly think that Gianna and Fantino introduced mandatory hydration breaks throughout 104 different games because he was concerned about player welfare.

Yeah, I mean, it was disappointing, I have to say.

A bit of a letdown.

We've just been talking about rehydration breaks.

Why don't we just call them drinks breaks?

That's right.

What kind of drink it is.

We've just been talking about drinks breaks.

And I wonder, I fear for that old cliche about the game of two halves, because that's going to...

Yeah, that's gone.

Fall by the wayside.

It's a game of four quarters.

This was a game of a quarter, another quarter, yet another quarter, and another quarter.

But, yeah, I was disappointed with this.

I'm not sure Ivory Coast deserved to win.

I think both teams were more than happy to play for a draw, and Ivory Coast were lucky enough to nick it at a time with a very good goal from Ahmed Diallo, and we all know how good he can be on his day.

But it was a decent 0-0 at halftime.
