Why there's been more stoppage time in the 2022 World Cup?
It has been explained that the essence of the long extra time is compensation for the little time spent on VAR Checking, goal celebration, substitution, treating injured players etc. What do you tink about this latest development in football? do you think it is the right time for this since a major concern in this world cup is about the heat in Qatar?
It is quite strange to see so much added time in the soccer world cup. We kind of got used to some more added time previously due to VAR but there has been even longer added time during this world cup. It is supposed to be to avoid teams time wasting like if they are winning 1-0 late in the game, delaying restarts by taking long. It punishes that but it’s kind of weird seeing 100 minutes or more for a game that is supposed to be 90. One thing is for sure, we will see lots of late drama in the tournament, teams have to fully concentrate for longer.
