England's Heated Debate consists of much heat and little water.
Against Paraguay, the Mexican referee would'nt allow players from either team to take on board fluids during natural breaks in play, in temperatures reaching the 90's.
What's all that about?
FA Contacts FIFA Regarding Water Breaks -
Saturday's game was played in sweltering temperatures and players were constantly coming to the touchline for drinks during stoppages in play.
The FA has said it will contact
FIFA in a bid to ensure sufficient water breaks are allowed during matches.
The squad got through three times more fluids than normal during the Paraguay match and everyone who played lost weight.
But the team will hope for a cooler time against Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday, which is a tea-time kick off.
