On the subject of this, does anyone know why there is extra time (in a game that is controlled by the clock), as opposed to basketball or football for example, where the clock stops, and then resumes during play? It seems cracked out for a number of reasons that soccer is done this way. Would it not seem relatively logical that when there is a stoppage in play (for whatever reason) that the game clock stops, and then on the referee's command, (blowing the whistle) the game clock then resumes? If someone actually knows the answer, it would be much appreciated, as opposed to "its just done like that bro and has been forever"
Anybody???
