Women’s World Cup France 2019, 7 June - 7 July

I tried Googling "longest overtime in World Cup Soccer" and couldn't find anything.

It's not overtime

Probably because it's not called overtime.

(xp!)

Iirc per caek, referees completely make up the amount of added time

They probably won't do a 13 minute added time marathon in the immediate future because it would be embarrassing to VAR imo. It would damage confidence, in the sport, to see it,

Sadly at work and can't watch this now. Don't think the decisions i've seen have been wrong, mostly, but VAR seems to encourage a pedantic emphasis on some types of infraction at the expense of context and any idea of intentionality. And it fucks with the flow of the game and encourages more dissent/nitpicking from the players. And the handball interpretation is just fucking silly now.

It's kinda messed up that this narrative has been allowed to dominate discussion of the actual football and i feel bad for falling into that too but it's aggravating and it does feel like it's operated in favour of the big teams more, no doubt cos they get fouled more iften but also because they're just better at gaming the rules as they stand.

Pretty 'hm' about all this in the end.

Tom D., I don't really follow soccer. What is it called?

it's called bonus o'clock

the stolen seconds

Tempus fugit iirc.

The second half was a gritty slog.

Extra time.

:D

VAR has moved us abruptly from a constructivist to a positivist interpretation of the rules. This is mainly because football administrators are generally a bit dim not very nuanced thinkers

the additional time given at the end of a half of football (soccer) is called "injury time" or "added time". if the game ends in a draw (tie) and they play an extra 30 minutes of football (soccer) this is called "extra time" (this would be what is referred to as "overtime" in north american sporting parlance).

Imo remove VAR and just have someone shoot tranquilizers at people inching offsides

Oh, it's a British vs American English thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtime_(sports)

"context and any idea of intentionality" seems relevant wrt viewer/poster reactions as this tournament (as w/ world cups in general [also this is a net positive I should probably state]) has definitely hooked ppl who don't necessarily watch that much football

reading liveblogs etc which platform shouty dissenting voices for even the clearly correct decisions has a signal-to-noise effect as well I guess

Although what Jim in Vancouver says makes sense. I don't watch enough soccer games. Thanks dudes!

It's not really overtime though. Stoppage time is meant to make up for time lost due to injuries, substitutions, goal celebrating, but is still considered part of the half it occurs in.

The correct analogue for overtime are those two extra 15 minute periods when the game is tied after regulation in a tournament match

i think the issue with VAR is that in football lots of stuff that technically is not allowed happens and we expect it to be allowed to happen. we applaud a referee who lets a game flow, we hate one who inserts themselves into the game too much. with VAR this expected refereeing of flow, subjectivity and feeling is crushed like a butterfly on a wheel

If it makes anybody feel better, we get terrible officiating decisions at twice the rate in MLS with VAR in tow.

Say "Ted Unkel" at a game or "Chris Penso" and get a free beer poured on your head

Not to beat a dead horse, but I Wiki'd it just for my own knowledge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_football#Duration_and_tie-breaking_methods

Answer: additional time

In Argentina stoppage time is known as "el tiempo de cangrejos inoportunos", the phrase popularised in the mid-2000s by Spanish-speaking Manchester United fans enamoured of the late-game ball retention skills of one Michael Carrick

:D

Had no idea Phil Collins was coaching the Canadian squad

I can't tell one Swedish player from another tbh... oh, hold on, there's a brunette there.

Canadian players have awful touch.

0 shots on goal

the gaffer of the canadian team looks like monty burns' son

This game's dull enough to be a Men's World Cup game.

Both squads combined for three shots, zero on frame. Riveting

Blackstenius - great real name.

pass cant be any more perfectly placed than that

Wonderful assist

Honestly amazing.

Canada deserved that with how careless they are with the ball

Whole sequence was nice

Sweden carving through right now

there's a real gulf in class between this game and the one earlier.

O here we go, VAR.

Sigh

"A surefire penalty kick"

Inevitable given the nature of the decisions to date and probably right within the new rules but it absolutely looked like she was trying to draw her arm into her body.

Obvious pen tbf
