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.

The ban on the use of the one love arm ban in the world cup is raising a lot of questions in the world cup. Why did FIFA ban the OneLove armbands? Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar.
Quote
The OneLove armbands, intended to send a message of tolerance, connection and opposition to all forms of discrimination, have been in the global spotlight since FIFA threatened several European team captains with yellow cards if they wore them to support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people in Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal.
Some teams have been warned about possible punishments if they refuse to obey. Share your opinion on this news update.

I don't see any reasons for the excessive extra at the matches so far in Qatar especially with regards to the weather which is very hot over there which most players aren't used to, I think that alone gives alot of edge to the Qatar supporting teams and players.

The purpose of this thread is a nice one just as stated by @livingfree, but it really isn't much needed as people might be so focused on discussing a specific issue on the specific thread rather than coming to search through and making lots of quotes jjat to get through with discussions.
Wishing you luck and hoping to get more updated news over here.

I think that the purpose and intention of the thread is good for being the general thread for various that we can discuss. But the essence of other focused thread is already playing this part about the discussion and sharing of news for each and specific of it.

Like for this one, we've got several threads already made and discussing about Football / World Cup 2022.

This is just IMHO.

This thread will be dedicated to sharing and discussing News about Sports (all sports), sporting events and news involving sports men and women.


(Image from google)

This thread is opened for discussion because majority of the threads here about sports mainly discuss the games, but rarely any news about developments in the sports, or news involving the people in the sports.

I will try to keep this thread updated.
