Criticism has been increasing regarding the breaks in play during the 2026 World Cup, where players are allowed to drink water. Reports have indicated that some of these pauses were intended to wait until commercial breaks ended, leading to parts of the matches being missed by viewers. Additionally, sports economists have confirmed that these interruptions enhance the value of advertisements and provide television broadcasters with more opportunities to air ads. This has raised concerns among coaches about the impact on the flow of the game, particularly French coach Didier Deschamps, who expressed worry that these stoppages could weaken team performance and cause delays in attacking plays.
