Time goes by so slowly as teams already stepping into World Cup unknowns adapt to the 100-minute game. Is this a good thing? Is it going to knack already-knacked players?
Time goes by so slowly as teams already stepping into World Cup unknowns adapt to the 100-minute game
There are still six more days of this before it slows down with the concurrent final games. By Monday night, every single team will have played two games. Many will already be either eliminated or its even worse near relative ‘all but eliminated’, which means the same thing but contains within it that most crushingly painful and hurtful of emotions: hope.But then there’s the games themselves which, as you’ve probably noticed, have taken absolutely f**king ages.
“Think of a match where in a half there are three goals. The celebration normally takes one to one and a half minutes. With three goals, basically you lose five, six minutes. So what we really want to do is to accurately calculate the time to be added.” Thus far the added time is mainly being observed as a novelty, and of course anyone who doesn’t get a slight twitch at the sight of the clock ticking round to 100 minutes in the top corner of the screen doesn’t have blood in their body and should be viewed with extreme suspicion. And as Gary Lineker observed in extremely Gary Lineker fashion, we’re getting more World Cup football, which doesn’t really seem like a thing to complain about.
