00:00And what about looking back to the World Cup, of course, hydration breaks became enshrined.
00:04We're going to have them here if the temperature gets to a certain amount.
00:06But do you think they are, I don't know, a negative part of the game if they become enshrined right
00:14throughout the season?
00:15If they did, then I would. I would. If they did become enshrined, I don't think that's going to happen.
00:19I think our culture, or I hope that our culture overrides that.
00:23And I've been involved in games as a player and manager where the extreme temperatures mean that it makes complete
00:28sense for safety.
00:29Absolutely. Hopefully our heat wave is on the way out now here, so we won't see too much of that.
00:35But then it makes sense after that, no, let the game flow for me.
00:39I'm traditional in that sense, and I think a lot of people are.
00:42And in a way, it feels like it's our game that it flows like that. So that one's not for
00:46me.
