Analysis:
Yeah, I'm enjoying it. Let's get this out the way first, the ad breaks that are being called hydration breaks are absolutely disgusting. I'm totally on board with player safety coming first, but i think that can be decided by the match officials on a match by match basis. Not forcing a hydration break in an indoor, climate controlled arena or at a venue when it's pissing it down with rain. OK, that's my one complaint over. I was initially skeptical of the increase to 48 teams, but have been pleasantly surprised with the performance. Cape Verde and the Democratic Republic of Congo standing out. I also think America's a great venue as the Americans are just joining in with whatever fans are in their city. The fans have also been amazing so far with shoutouts to Scotland, Norway and Holland.
