Are hydration breaks really just for ad revenue? Pretty much! But how do they exist within the game's rules? Who stands to gain from them the most? And how do they impact games? We also talk the 48-team format, and how that change stacks up to all the many formats we've seen at World Cups gone by

A 67th minute Taty Castellanos goal gives West Ham a glimmer of survival hope It’s his 7th goal since joining in Jan, and his 6th in the Premier League Impressive return for 1/2 a season with a relegation-battling side. He may still be championship-bound, but he’s clearly Premier League quality

It’s SO different than Maxi… but Perea at the 10 is kinda fun He fills the space that Nico vacates. When Nico goes ball-hunting, Perea can be a runner for him in ways Maxi couldn’t He won’t create moves like Maxi did, but he’ll find himself in positions to finish them … now he’s just gotta do that
