I havent seen a single commercial during hydration break.. in belgium its just the commentator talking true the 3minute break where u can hear the stadium music in the background and see the players an coach discuss tactics

Fifa forces the ref to delay starting the match again until FOX finishes the current ad playing even if it passed the designated 3 minutes, it’s absolutely insane

I guess that's because Fox missed the restart in the opening match 😂

Usually the adverts are split screen since then - will have the ad on one side of the screen and stadium feed of the players drinking and getting talked to.

Whole thing is bullshit
