    Medical 5 mins + VAR & penalty 5 mins + 4 subs + other shorter medicals + time wasting.

    Give it a rest.

        If FIFA referees don’t use the opinions, guidelines, and rule set from FIFA then what do they use? Make up their own rules on the day? Murder is wrong is an opinion, the law is just made up by people.

          I’m not the one saying there’s a rule for 16 overtime when maybe 5 were warranted. Of course it’s subjective whatever the fourth official gets told to do by the bald Qatari.

            Fair enough, if you think there was only 5 minutes when the ball was out of the play then I don’t really know what else can be said.

              We all know if it had been 3:0 after 90 minutes, the overtime would have been a reasonable 5 minutes. FIFA wanted 13 so they could hope for more drama if there had been a goal by England. The 1:0 gave them ideas.

              And it’s worrisome that normal people come to FIFA’s defense here, as if it’s not common knowledge that they force the officials to make matches “more exiting”.
