Infantino loves hydration breaks

“After an intense start to both halves, England used their hydration breaks well to regroup, reorganise and get on the front foot before finding the net twice in the final 15 minutes. These breaks are so important to give players a break during tournament play, while also allowing all coaches a dedicated moment in every match — not just depending on the weather conditions — to engage directly with their players.”
