🚨 WATCH: Count Binface is interviewed live on Sky News by Jon Craig

No World Cup-style drink (or should that be advert?) breaks at Euros, says Uefa telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

Incredible coincidence that @nigel_Farage watched the England game in the same spot in the same pub, with the same flags up, wearing the same top and standing next to someone wearing an identical top as he did during the Euros in 2024.

@tomhfh Its almost like the art of the deal might have been ghost written or a work of fiction?

Trump once tore into Obama’s JCPOA for handing Iran billions of dollars, in unfreezing $100 bn in Iranian assets. Now in Trump’s Iran deal the US has committed "to make fully available for use the frozen or restricted funds and assets" of Iran, and hand over *$300bn* for its “reconstruction and economic development”.

"What the f**king hell was that?" chant England fans after the three-minute hydration break (used for commercials by US TV). #ENGCRO

@ITV Can we not have Matterface and Dixon for England games - there surely must be someone who can do commentary with some level of enthusiasm!!!

IT’S TIME FOR KICK-OFF 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇭🇷 #ENGCRO #FIFAWorldCup

It’s a shame ITV doesn’t offer a choice of commentary via the red button. Rather than listen to Matterface and Dixon it would be good to hear something like Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music.

Hydration breaks are three minutes. Why? Because that's the length of a US ad break. How long does it take to have a glug of water and get back out there? Thirty seconds?

The Americans adding in water breaks to disguise them splitting the game into 4 quarters

Soccer has always been defined by free-flowing, unbroken action. But for the World Cup in America, FIFA is using “hydration breaks” to shoehorn in commercials. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4aNS3YQ

OPINION: World Cup hydration breaks are anti-football and another shameless cash grab #Echobox=1781568237" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">talksport.com/football/world…

What I want after this world cup is over. 1. USA to NEVER host a World Cup. 2. Infantino to be booted out. 3. Hydration Breaks to never occur when temperatures are at a certain level. 4. Ticket prices to be capped at a reasonable amount. 5. USA to NEVER host a World Cup.

The World Cup should be: In 1 country With 32 teams And 64 games And each game should have two halves (not four quarters)

@FIFAcom @jfa_samuraiblue There good at taking out the trash - lets hope Infantino stays in his seat at the end of there next match

Japan fans doing what they do 🙌🇯🇵 Following their incredible 2-2 draw with Netherlands, @jfa_samuraiblue supporters once again demonstrated their impeccable manners, tidying the stands before departing Dallas Stadium.

@JacobsBen can all teams withdraw and let Iran win by default

Exclusive: Donald Trump will be allowed to lift the World Cup trophy with the winning team, as he did at the Club World Cup. Trump will present the 2026 champions with the trophy on July 19 at MetLife Stadium alongside FIFA President Gianni Infantino.🏆 talksport.com/football/world…

This is the year when the game of two halves became the game of four quarters. And the greatest sport and event was damaged for fistfuls of dollars. Hydration breaks ruin the game’s flow and frustrates fans and viewers. If hydration breaks were solely about player welfare then they would be linked to the temperature in the stadia. It’s a nonsense having a three-minute break in an air-conditioned arena. Fifa should long ago have established a working party of coaches, sports scientists, national team doctors and Fifpro to agree a set temperature at kickoff, say 25C, which triggers the breaks. That would prove the breaks were for player welfare. At the moment, and to nobody’s surprise, it is widely accepted that these breaks are for US TV to accommodate commercials. Big bucks for the small screen. Fifa should have thought more about the effect on games and to fan (and viewer) experience when negotiating. Coaches’ desire for a mid-half tactical time-out masquerading as a drinks stop should be resisted anyway. Games have been played for 150 years without needing such intervention. Coaches can shout instructions. And who says that 22 mins and 67 mins is when a coach needs to intervene anyway. It’s nonsense. It’s about money. Respected and sane footballing voices from Virgil van Dijk to Mauricio Pochettino have spoken out against the breaks. Fifa should listen to them not appear only to listen to the rustle of dollar bills. It’s important that there is resistance to this from all over. Because if we tolerate this, our TV games could be next. BBC can’t do ads, ITV says it won’t follow its US counterparts. But it has been discussed by TV people. It’ll come one day. #FIFAWorldCup.

I’m telling you Amazon are missing a trick not doing a documentary on this football club

Wolves are devastated to learn of the passing of our former manager Kenny Jackett. Kenny led the club to its incredible record-breaking League One title and laid the foundations for the club as we know it today. The thoughts of everyone at Wolves are with Kenny’s family and friends at this time 💛

@WV1Rep Liam Keen says no truth in the rumour but who knows

No smoke without fire and fully believable after the Lopetegui saga and the way Fosun ‘run’ this club. This is bound to happen when your crooked, disingenuous owners and those who run the club d2d are on completely different wavelengths. What a mess… yet again. #WWFC #Wolves
