Each half will pause for exactly three minutes midway through.
It's a player welfare measure. It also has sporting & commercial implications.

To be fair it is like poking the beehive with a stick. Both countries have their laws so why not just chose a different game. |  | |  |

Well I didn’t watch the last World Cup ( apart from England v Wales,so much for principles) I have decided not to watch the forthcoming World Cup, a total farce and simply a money making exercise. Trump getting a special “ Peace Prize”, really? |  | |  |

Why should a different game be chosen? |  | |  |

Soccer is an old fashioned word for football as we know it, it’s an abbreviation of Association Football. EM Forster mentions soccer in A Room With A View. |  |

He's already threatened to move games out of Woke Democrat Cities (TM), so I wouldn't totally rule out Seattle losing hosting honours. |  | |  |
