Broadcasters air commercials during World Cup hydration breaks

The need for a hydration break in the middle of a match in a climate-controlled dome implies that Sunday in perfect weather in Houston is tougher than a rainy Wednesday night in Stoke

"but local blogger i cant understand spanish" yeah but the picture quality is worlds bettter (on Peacock), there are no hydration break commercials and even if you don't understand what they're saying, they are having WAY more fun doing this than over at FOX. Plus, I repeat: No Alexi Lalas

I was enjoying this game too much, so glad the hydration break has given me a chance to calm down.

I assume there won't be a hydration break in the Holland game as it's being played in an air conditioned stadium with a roof. They couldn't have introduced the break for some other reason, could they?

Didn’t think I’d have the “Curacao got screwed by the hydration break” thought today but I’m going with it.

There‘s so many political reasons to boycott this World Cup but are you seriously telling me they‘re doing several hydration breaks? Like what Americans can‘t watch 45 consecutive mins of a sport? Or is FIFA just selling ads, those corrupt motherfuckers?

Telemundo not going to ads during the hydration break while FOX shows three minutes of I Am the New Pharmaceutical You Have to Know About Now

Germany must be grateful to get this hydration break because Curaçao has them shellshocked What a sentence

Relief for Germany as the hydration break puts a halt to the unstoppable momentum of Curaçao. #worldcup

I think for these "hydration breaks" the players shouldn't go to the touchline, I think they should stay on their half of the pitch and the drinks should be brough to them by stadium staff, no coaching allowed

Germany is lucky the hydration break is coming up. They need it to recover their bearing against /checks notes Curacao.

These hydration breaks suck. Second time the momentum of a game has changed, and a team has scored, in the minutes after them, all so FIFA can make even more £££ from advertising

So they don't stop the clock for hydration breaks? Just add on three mins at end? What is association footballs reluctance to just press "Stop" on the stopwatch

I’m watching the whole tournament on Peacock/Telemundo. 1) no ads during hydration break, 2) learn a new language, 3) no Fox commentators

So is Fox gonna spend the whole World Cup returning from their “hydration break” commercials having missed a whole minute of game action or are we just very lucky tonight
