Is FIFA Ruining the World Cup Final with a 30-Minute Half-Time?

I feel the World Cup is losing its magic to money and commercials. Introducing extra breaks seems driven by profit, not sport. England lost momentum against Argentina after the mid-game water break. They shifted into defensive mode, fearing a last-minute goal. Now FIFA plans a 30-minute half-time break for the final. A leading team could cool off too long and lose its edge. Is FIFA all about money now? This move risks boring fans and undermining the spirit of the game.

Do you think these extra breaks really cost teams their momentum, or could players actually benefit from more rest?

Could a half-time that stretches this long actually dull player intensity instead of boosting their energy?

It seems half-time shows have grown longer each tournament, likely boosting ad revenue while teams struggle to keep energy levels high.

True talk, these marathon half-time spectacles feel like an ad marathon while the players catch their breath.

I'm not convinced longer breaks always hurt the game—it might just be poor coaching that leads to momentum loss, not the ads.

Maybe tournaments should limit broadcast interruptions to a fixed time and equip coaches with clear fitness schedules to protect match flow.
