I'm 100% a soccer idiot as I didn't grow up playing it or watching it. I grew up playing golf, baseball, and watched a ton of baseball and football.
Maybe I am being dense but I can't wrap my head around the game ending at a non-transparent subjective time. I understand the extra time added since the clock rolls through the game and there needs to be an accounting for injuries, substitutions, etc-- totally clear on that. As a viewer not seeing when the game will end is something I can't wrap my head around.

I don't watch or care for basketball either. The only sport I watch with any regularity is (American) football, occasionally hockey. Gave up baseball when the Prima Donnas came on the scene. And honestly there are getting to be too many in football now too

Devil's advocate: Why would you want something you enjoy to end sooner than later? The clock in football is pretty predictable. It works out to about 3 minutes of actual time to one minute of play clock. So a 60 minute timed game takes about 3 hours. The networks have that timing down. Now if you want to talk about 3:30 commercial breaks every 10 minutes I will complain right along side of you, but that is just typical of any US broadcast of any TV genre.

Generally it’s only a minute or two but during the World Cup they are seem to be adding every minute wasted, which is what should happen. The game should have play for the full 90 minutes. You think football, which is what the rest of the world calls it, is hard try and get your head around Aussie Rules (AFL)! At least the referee puts the added time up on a board at the end normal time. This is a game of 20 minute quarters which takes around three hours to complete. The 20 minutes is actual play so every time the game stops for whatever reason the clock still ticks (the clock goes up not counts down) and no one knows how long and actual quarter goes for. Now with that being said both Football and AFL (both 360 degree games) are so much more enjoyable to watch and play than NFL or the Rugby codes. |

I know that this concept is strange to American sports fans, but soccer has been around for over a hundred years and has developed working rules that suit the game with modernizations like VAR. I also like inter-league relegations, where perennial losers like the Cleveland Browns of a few years ago would have been booted out of the NFL if our sports leagues used a similar system. No coasting at the end of the season to get the #1 draft pick next spring. As for the added/injury time, I like to keep a count in the back of my head when watching a match to see if I can predict the added time at the end of a half. At least in the English Premiere League, the time added seems to be plausible for the most part.....

Why do you copy and paste the same Cleveland Browns explanation into responses to multiple users? And FWIW now the Browns are not a bottom of the barrel team and others are. Parity over time is also part of the game. And how do you justify the New England Patriots and LA Rams, are they just outliers in your confirmation bias?

The referees control the game until they leave the pitch (field). Blowing the whistle ends competition, but can still administer unsporting behavior (yellow cards)

And twenty seconds later he's playing as if nothing happened because, well, nothing did happen. There should be a penalty for those theatrics. And that's why I don't watch soccer(football).

My wife is in Arizona with her sister this week. I've got my list of chores to do. Building her a garden shed and insulating my workshop. Don't tell her but damn her Miyabi 9" bread knife is amazing at cutting Roxul.
