Such a wasted opportunity. Much better than that team. Needed to put them away.

Is there a good reason that they don’t use college soccer rules for the clock? It seems ridiculous that no one knows when the game will end other than the ref.

Sorry, because they’re stupid:). All the cramping and “injuries” by Wales at the end there would have been no flow and no play at all for the last 20 minutes of the game as the clock runs down. They put injury time up, so you know its roughly 9 minutes.

But I get what you are saying. I guess knowing “kind of” how much time is left is good enough for most folks.

Why not just stop the clock for injuries and eliminate injury time?

It’s been done that way forever. Everyone’s grown up with it. They’ll never change it. (Even I kind of don’t want them to, haha, despite it being somewhat wild)

Gotta pull the upset on Friday I think… Iran will be fired up to play us in the last group game and probably heavily financially incentivized to get a result… just guessing…

Even baseball is changing rules these days. I get what you’re saying though.

Want to be great do it on the biggest stage.

OMG, that might not be THE biggest upset of all time in WC play, but it also might. Certainly in the top few.

Definitely modern era. This one is still it for me due to venue and being the finals in Brasil in front of 170,000 people… Maracanã Rio de Janeiro

Uruguay 2 Brasil 1

It’s wild that I just watched Christian Eriksen play after his heart issues from his collapse at the Euros last year. Truly amazing… I’m rooting for him.
