extra time?

[JuTMSY4]

it's one thing I'll never get about soccer. But I agree, I didn't see a ton of stoppage int he 2nd half to merit 5

[slag]

They had a medical convention in the first half and got five ... not nearly the same in the second half.

Just accepted that it is fixed and and you will enjoy it more.

Well, maybe "fixed" is the wrong word. I think I'll go with "rigged".

[Dim Bulb]

Hillary is behind it.

extra time?

Without doubt.

You can thank Brooks for his celebration when he collapsed on the ground and wouldn't get back up. That's why Dempsey and the rest were pulling on his arm to get up--even the ref told him to get back up. If they think you're over the top on anything and wasting time, they'll add it on at the end. Hell, I was yelling at him to get his ass back up and get to the center circle for the re-start.

Uh huh ... that's why the play by play announcer Ian Drake, who's forgotten more footy than you or I know, was surprised when the number was announced it.

So there's situations where players don't do backflips, bodyslides and otherwise act like maniacs for an extended period of time after scoring a goal? I didn't realize that.

Oh look, half the Algerian team just ran to the corner to kiss the field followed by running up and down the sidelines after a penalty kick that everyone knew was going in. Guess that's 5 extra minutes.

Is Ian Drake the dude that kept bringing up the mating habits of American Servicemembers when they're stationed in Germany?

[bobbyuk]

There's celebrations and there's lying on the ground for an extended period of time and not getting up. Again, nearly everyone on the US team, after the initial celebration, which was ok, was telling him to get up and even pulling him by his arms to get up.
