I've been trying to keep track myself and so far in my months of collecting, I've noted down one service which is unavailable during the matches for me, Docker Hub, everything else seems to work today.
Keep in mind, when they first started the blocks, a lot more was taken offline than what gets taken down when a match happens today, as they seem to continuously adjust it. The article you linked is from almost exactly a year ago, fwiw.
My own company would get taken down.
Most companies who used to use Cloudflare and actually want to be available to users, moved away a long time ago, it's a lot easier than many think.
They've also blocked Fastly in the past. I doubt any large CDN is immune.
> if you know that doing so will make it unavailable for 2-3 hours per week?
You expect companies all across the world to abandon their CDN providers because two countries (Spain and Italy) are being dicks about futbol?
