00:00This World Cup, we had the first time someone got expelled for covering their mouth during a game.
00:06Almiron from Paraguay.
00:07You know, this is something that players do all the time.
00:09They don't really want to, you know, do what they're saying on the field.
00:12But because of recent cases of homophobia and racism,
00:16the FIFA created this rule called the Bini rule for the constant racial abuse.
00:22That now in the world, you say anything during the game, you are out.
00:26Paraguayans were out outraged, but the rule is clear and the rule was explained to every player.
00:31Do you feel like these rules have a place in the game?
00:34So it might have been an overcorrection.
00:36Like we don't want people saying racist, homophobic things on the field to anybody,
00:40whether it's the referee opposing players, people on the stands tend to do it, you know, unfortunately.
00:45But it's an overcorrection that they'll probably be dropped later on because they do it out of habit.
00:50And sometimes you have to discuss something with the referees.
00:53You don't want people reading your lips.
00:54Or just like rephrasing things that were said and stuff.
00:58It's a tough situation.
01:00Now, football is obeying a lot of commercial interests, hydration breaks.
01:04What's your point on hydration breaks?
01:06Okay, well, I give soccer players a lot of credit for going nonstop, you know,
01:11as opposed to football and even basketball.
01:13There are stops in the, yeah.
01:16So I'm okay with it.
01:17I know you guys, another thing that you guys aren't used to,
01:19you guys meaning the soccer players that watch, you know, in between the World Cups.
01:23So I'm okay with it.
01:24And I do think that you have to, you need commercial sponsorship.
01:27So if you have no place for them to advertise, it's a little tough.
01:30It's a tough one.
01:31Listen, you guys wear a bunch of logos on your jerseys.
01:33No, I know.
01:34The money's there.
01:34I mean, there's no dividing the money from the World Cup or soccer right now, my friend.
