Enjoying this one, even if the quality is missing. Canada giving it a right go 

This is why I laugh so much at people who complain about 'diluting the quality' - the fact is, is that most national teams in the world are not very good, but if you want a 'World' Cup, then you have to include them.  The ability to qualify then helps them ihave reasons to improve...  This is what the Group Stages of the World Cup are about, though - giving all qualified teams the same chance to progress, (and usually ensuring that the worst are eliminated.)  If you don't want ANY bad teams, then why bother with enough teams to support Groups? And we're back at Olympics instead of the World Cup...  Which is the point I've always made...

It's not just about one match.  It's not just about one team. It's a tournament that needs every team and match to have the SAME RULES, or any difference CAN AND WILL BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF - if you have no idea of how and why that can be done, then, as I said, your imagination is too limited.  (Note: Coaches etc. can have full input during these breaks.)

no coach is giving their players advice on a game in 5 days time midway during the first half of a game against an entirely different team... You do not get an advantage against future opponents from having a water break. If you think you do, then actually say what it is rather than talking about imagination

Then you are ignorant of things that have already happened.

Are coaches allowed to give instructions during drinks breaks?

Yes, and we have already seen it happen.
During the United States' pre-World Cup friendly against Senegal, Mauricio Pochettino utilised his side's three-minute hydration break to get his ideas across via the use of a laptop.
