Right now the stoppage time is some arbitrary number, correct? It's never 4:27 or 1:56. It's always a rounded number like 2:30 or 4 minutes.
What's so complicated about having someone keep the time to an exact format?

Ok here are two questions I am curious about as a casual fan.
Why doesn't the player who is fouled take the penalty kick?
From my wife, why doesn't the goal keeper wear the same jersey as the other players on the team?

Goalkeepers wear different jerseys so you can tell them apart from the other players

Because that person isn't even on the field. Again, FIFA likes to keep power ON THE FIELD. And again, not that FIFA generally does things right, but I think this is something they do right.

Okay just because they like to doesn't mean it's the most efficient, correct?

Why is efficiency the most important thing?

I told her that I just wanted to make sure I was not missing something

How is giving the job to someone else more efficient? The ref is the one with the whistle so he is the one with the watch. I'd say that's very efficient.

When was the last time stoppage time was an exact number and not rounded off to the nearest whole or half minute?

Because you're allowed to do otherwise. It's not easy to do generally, harder after you may or may not have had the shite kicked out of you. But ultimately, you're allowed to choose whomever. It's just one of those things. If Ronaldo or Messi get taken down, they're taking the penalty unless they're hurt.

If I'm in the lead of a match by a goal, I'd want the game ended when it is supposed to end. And if I'm down in a match, I'd want to know that we played the full time that the game was stopped in the previous 90 minutes.
Guess that's too much to ask?
Posted on 6/13/14 at 10:18 pm to Golfer
Don't know. Don't care. You have 90+ minutes to score more goals than your opponent.

That's a loser mentality you have.
It also seems you like to argue just for arguing's sake.

I realize that you're coming at it from a very Americanized mentality, but it simply just isn't as important that the game last *exactly* a certain amount of time and no more/less.
I know that's going to be a difficult concept for you to understand, but the sooner you become a little more open minded the better off you'll be.

But then how can you call a timeout and hit a half court buzzer beater to win the game?

Yep. Spot on.

It seems like you just blindly support the sport as it is an can't see through your blinders that there are some inconsistencies.
Posted on 6/13/14 at 10:24 pm to Golfer
Nope. There's quite a bit I would change. The difference here is that I understand the sport as I've been playing and watching it for 25 years now. I would start with things that actually matter and not things like making sure the game ends at the exact millisecond it should, though.
Posted on 6/13/14 at 10:24 pm to Golfer
Soccer has been roughly the same since its beginning. Why change the worlds sport?
