    It's not only the World Cup, it's everything, everywhere, all the time. We are drowning in marketing messages. It's gross.

        And then the US advertisers came up with "hydration breaks".

            FIFA has little to do with “Swiss” or “European” style capitalism and more to do with Gianni Infantino & friends’ style.

              So what do "US advertisers" have to do with the "US" instead of the CEOs of those companies and their friends?

              Europeans sure don't like to use their own rhetoric against themselves. European-style arguments are sure disingenuous.
