5 Minutes of extra time seemed a bit excessive to me. Didn't think there would be more than 3
I suppose its not in the budget to have someone stop the clock when the ball goes out of bounds. Also, virtually every time a goal is scored, they pig pile on each other as if it was a walk off home run or a game 7 hockey goal in OT. It makes no sense to me that such a widely popular and structured sport just arbitrarily adds time on the end of regulation. Just stop the damn clock.
Which brings me to my other criticism of soccer…..for 90+ mins, its so difficult to score a goal that once they get to penalty kicks, they put the ball right on top of the goalie making it too easy to score. I would compare it to the NFL kicking extra points in overtime to decide a winner. I think this sport needs to be tweaked..
