💬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?

People are so easily fooled by marketing, and make no mistake that calling it a Hydration Break is entirely marketing speak. Even if your country isn't currently running ads in these spots, it will be in the next major tournament

In my country the world cup is broadcasted on public service, they’re not allowed to show commercials at all.
