That's really our big point of confusion. The premise makes sense but the mystery doesn't.
They want to keep us on the edge of our seats and ready to curse the ref, football works around how much hate you can direct to the ref and his mom
But honestly that's a grey area of the ruling, the ref defines the extra time but in reality he can stretch that as much as he wants, and we are left with another "blame the refs opportunity" when he ends the game in the build up of our scoring play
One of the many things i hope our next top 5 list helps to correct, counting on Merica to fix football @Undisciplined
We already did fix football. It's called football.
when he ends the game in the build up of our scoring play
I was wondering about that. Do they ever end the game when the offense is about to take a clear shot on goal?
I understand the frustration , as sometimes you don't know why a match is extended. The intention is to avoid excessive waste of time.
Before this World Cup , the assistant referee announced the amount of minutes added in injury time.
During this World Cup they have implemented the concept of "minimum" amount of time and leaves to the referee the decision to extend it. What I have noticed is that, unless something happens during the injury time, they stick to the time announced.
I think that some of the changes introduced in this World Cup are good measures. They have made the play more dynamic.
I would add @gsc360 to see whether he has something else to add.
Ok but why don't they have the injury time remaining defined and displayed so everyone knows?
