Soccer is fucking stupid, this better be 15 and a half pages of MERICA FUCK YEA TIME TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING DAY YEAH MERICA FUCK YEAH TERRRORIUTSZZZ YRE DAY IS DONE BLABLBLA MERIC FUCK YA Also, how does overtime in soccer work?
It's up to the ref to decide on it but it's based on the amount of time teams spent fucking around and delaying the game, at least in the group stages. Iirc during the playoffs it's a flat 15 minute increase until someone scores and if that fails, penalties.
Wow, the refs have to make that kind of judgment call? Shit, you'd think they'd try to structure it in a way that doesn't necessitate that kind of subjective judgment. I know I throw all kinds of shit fits when a game's outcome is effectively being decided by a zebra.
I just can't get over how ridiculous this is. EDIT: I would buy one of those FIFA games if it included the ability to play as this team and use Suarez to bite people while trying to avoid the ref's field of view.
But the subjectivity is part of the fun. The refs can decide it's a goal even if the ball never crossed the line, they can deny a goal if they don't feel like it and they can give 6 minutes overtime if you are Spain. Or they can make sure Brazil is reaching the final, watch out for that if you watch the next game. Soccer 101 for 'muricans: 2 halfs of 45 minutes play time. Each half can get some minutes overtime according to the referee (most of the time it's 3 minutes). This is for normal games that can tie. In playoffs the same rules apply but if the game is a draw there is an overtime play time of 2 x 15 minutes added. Each half can again have a minute or so of additional time. If the match is still undecided after all this fucking time, then there is a penalty shootout.
Man why are Americans so butttarded. They go out of the way to express their dislike of soccer. Nobody gives a fukk you ameriburgers, if you don't like it, don't watch it. As you can clearly tell the sport has enough popularity without your ADHD fatasses needing explosions and violence every second to maintain your attention
Every American who loves his country has an obligation to watch USA - Germany today! Chances are good that it will be a great game. Game starts at: 9:00 Pacific Daylight Time 11:00 Central Daylight Time 12:00 Eastern Daylight Time. I just realized those are terrible times to watch / play a football match.
This is the game winning goal by Maradona in 1986. The ref seems behind the play and only able to see his head. He ruled it a goal. England has not won a World Cup since 1966.
