I think it’s been generally entertaining. Some s**t games as expected due to
48 teams, and a few big VAR moments but in general the refs have let teams play as well.
I hate the hydration breaks. Also the timing seems a bit off. I would have said first natural stoppage after 22.5 mins would make sense but last night just as Morocco had taken control of the game in the first half and were battering Holland, he called the hydration break at 21 minutes. That felt a bit suss at the time although ultimately didn’t affect the game.
