The Official FIFA World Cup Thread - QATAR 2022

Massive point for Tunisia. They got Australia next so golden chance to get through for first time. Will be another home game for them too.

Reyna throwing berhalter under the bus. When they get mopped by England on Friday, the knives are gonna fly.

The whole world thought KSA would get mopped by Argentina...

Having said that, I don't see us doing anything against England. Berhalter's MLS dikk riding already cost us. In fact, we should lose against England and Iran, that's probably the only way for that useless fukk to finally get fired. fukk Berhalter

It's not whatever the ref feels like.
If stoppages happen during stoppage time, you have to account for that also.


Simple rule of math is just double whatever you're accustomed to. If it feels like 3, make it 6 or 7.

It's exactly whatever the ref feels like. That's how it's always worked. There's no accountability for their time-keeping outside of the 4th official's board that displays the minimum they have to play - and even then, anyone that watches regularly will know the ref often blows up 10-20 seconds before that amount of time has elapsed.

Absolutely there is "injury time for the injury time" that needs accounting for like usual - but nobody's going to actually trust the correct amount is being played any more than they ever have... the only thing this year's changes make more likely is that fans will feel robbed the first time someone scores a controversial winner/equaliser in the 13th minute of stoppage time.

Injury time has always been at the ref's discretion and it's caused untold scandal in the game for decades. There's a reason Premiership fans still refer to Fergie-Time.

A stop clock would stop the whole thing dead - FIFA cling to the weirdest 'legacy' things for no good reason. We didn't get VAR for decades because they said it would ruin the game, as if bad offside and penalty calls weren't doing that already.

Berhalter would have called up Chris Wondolowski if he was 4 years younger

Soft spot for both of these sides. Leaning to Poland and LewanGOATski.
