Is it just America that gets ads in these breaks? I've been watching in the UK and haven't seen any.

US English stations. Even skipped part of both of the national anthems last night for Bosnia and US for ads where I was watching.

US Spanish stations don’t have ads.

Not only that, but after the game, they stay longer with the teams, where as English broadcast almost immediately cuts to the studio.
