We often have "drink breaks" in the game over here (Australia) when the temperature rises into the mid-thirties. The ref stops play and the players all move over to the sideline to take on water or energy drinks.
The main appeal to FIFA on this, I suspect, is that it means an extra advertising break and millions more pouring into the FIFA coffers as a result. The other football codes here all, infuriatingly, have advertising during the match itself except soccer but the TV companies are very quick to take advantage of the drinks break
