College Soccer stops the clock for injuries. Why can't FIFA?

Would probably put a stop to some of the late game "injuries"

College also allows subs to re-enter, I think.

Because Europe doesn't have a lick of sense.

College soccer is a joke.

That's the least surprising thing you've ever posted on here.

No re-entry in the 1st half. One re-entry, per person, in the second half.

quote:

A manager may make unlimited substitutions, and each player is allowed one re-entry which must occur in the second half of the match. All matches have an overtime period if the game remains tied after 90 minutes. As opposed to a classic two half overtime, a sudden death rule is applied. If neither team scores in the two ten-minute halves, the match ends in a draw (unless it is a playoff match, then it would go to kicks from the penalty mark). College soccer is played with a clock that can be stopped when signaled to by the referee for injuries, the issuing of misconducts, or when the referee feels a team is wasting time. The clock is also stopped after goals until play is restarted, and the clock generally counts down from 45:00 to 0:00 in each half. In most professional soccer leagues, there is an up-counting clock with the referee adding injury time to the end of each 45-minute half

Nah, it's an opinion.

Here's another opinion: College soccer is fine. The vast majority of the guys who play it have little chance of playing on a national team. It's decent competition for those who most likely aren't going to make it at the highest level. The rules are weird, but this is the NCAA! It doesn't have to make sense.

Isn't the college soccer schedule pretty absurd? Sort of explains the substitution rules. They probably don't have great depth either.
