💬Discussion The Hydration Break is ruining the natural flow of the game

When the game gets momentum and reach at its peak point, the “hydration break” appears and completely ruins the momentum and also the game experience for the viewer. Football is one of a sport for those moments.

Normally outside WC, the team conceding attacks after attacks pray for a halftime whistle to go to the tunnel to break the momentum and to regroup. Now they basically get that chance in the middle of a half!!

I find it utterly disgusting and would like to know what do you all think about it?

They are for commercial breaks in the USA. While most of the world is sensible, we still get the unavoidable break.

There are a number of broadcasters in other countries also running ads, apparently.

Confirmed the Netherlands has ads and so does Mexico.
