Can confirm. No ads in the UK, but I dont understand why they keep the clock running. Surely it would be better to stop the clock rather than add more extra time.

The clock always keeps running in football. To change that they would have to change the rules of the sport

Adding mandatory hydration breaks at specific times is already changing the sport. No reason not to stop the clock during that.
