Football is a game of momentum.
Very few teams can dominate a match from start to finish, so it's critical to score during the phases of the game when you have the upper hand.
But at this year's World Cup, mandatory hydration breaks have repeatedly interrupted these moments, giving the favourites an opportunity to regroup, tactically reset and wrest back control from the underdogs.
Before this year's tournament kicked off, Fifa announced that hydration breaks would take place in the 22nd and 67th minutes in all 104 matches, in order to protect the players from extreme temperatures.
This included games played at indoor venues such as those in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles and Vancouver.
