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”.
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.
