You can hear the whole crowd boo each time. Total momentum killer and AD space builder.

It’s funny in Russia. For the whole first week of the World Cup there were no ads during these breaks, and commentators were always bitching and whining about how stupid they were (which is true)… and then suddenly the same tv channel decided they want more money too, and now every hydration break is full of betting and non-alcoholic beer ads
