It's rumoured that both the beeb and itv are going to ignore half time shows and follow normal half time analysis.

The yanks pushed for game to be split into 4, like the pansies version of rugby, fifa have spun it apparently, there will be 3 minute water breaks each half, about the same as an advert break....

That's not the yanks pushing for quarters. It's worldwide protocol when playing football at high temps now. Had the water breaks in Qatar as well.

Fair play, but why are FIFA picking countries to the detriment of the players? Rhetorical question, we all fucking know why!

It's what the us does all the time ! The Attorneys General of NY and NJ have subpoenaed FIFA for ticket irregularities and practises.

Depends on how many of those 17 go deep in the competition, so English players should be on the plane home before it has a chance to refuel.
