The end of the World Cup was mass confusion. No body could figure out why the game was still going on. Too much power in the hands of the officials. Too much whinning and faking injuries from the players. I will give the players this though, they’re in damn good shape. And I like the way the clock is not stopped every other play.
Injuries are real enough. The referee decides how long the game goes on. Its a more exciting experience for the fans.
Play goes right through the very end. What we saw in the past month in Brazil was pure unadulterated football.
