If refs have been "instructed to run the course of time properly".

What have they been doing before? Just guessing a number?

I’m loving this new approach to added on time.

Has he been told to defend the empty seats?

Start of the match "always empty in the group games"
Now it's because it's late at night. Can't stand jonathan pearce..

Surely still easier to just stop the clock when the game stops

Yeah but I don't get how they have been calculating it before if not "properly" ? Are they just guessing random numbers?

Why did the lino watch it go out for a goal kick but then wait for the player to get the ball again to flag? Was he not going to bother if somebody else got it?

I always wondered, because first half it is never more than two minutes, often just one. Second half is often four or so.

I get there is more shithousing at the end of a game and substitutes as well, but it isn't always the case and yet the pattern still seems the same.

I think your guessing numbers theory probably has some grounds.

No just ignoring most of it.

I reckon so yes. I’m guessing now maybe either the 4th official or the VAR are calculating it?

Yeah it’s never really had anything to do with the actual amount of stoppages has it - it’s just this generally agreed unwritten rule of thumb (about 3 minutes as standard, plus or minus a minute or two depending on how busy the second half has been). I’m glad they’re trying to address it.

I see Harry Kane is having a scan on his ankle today. If he is out, who would you play up front against the USA?

It would have to be Rashford wouldn't it? Can't see that Southgate would start with Callum Wilson up front, just simply due to his lack of international experience.

Agreed although hopefully it's just precautionary.
Does beg the question why Southgate didn't use the warm up games to blood the likes of Wilson, Maddison etc. so at least they'd have a little experience of the setup.

Also begged the question why he didn’t bring the troops in in the second half immediately as it was like a training game - could have avoided Kane getting crocked

North Korea could host World Cup — FIFA wants to ‘unite world,’ says Gianni Infantino

Must be as they know they're being filmed. Over the top for the first game. In a working man's club it's a quick handshake with the chap next to you, and off to the bar to get a pint.

After the opening speech I think men in white coats will be lining up to take him away - he’s as crooked as Sep Blatter

This Croatia Morocco game looks like it's at double speed.

Can't stand fans that overly whistles when the opposition have the ball too.

It's like they are playing with a full team of Nicky Summerbee's isn't it.

Said it earlier. Didn't do much to improve things with Russia WC or Chinese Olympics. It's a clichéd nonsense that sport can change ideologies or politicians. North Korea have enough black cash then FIFA would probably do it.

We had 2 friendlies in March & then 6 Nations League games from June until September.
The likes of Maddison & Wilson hadn't played for England since 2019...

Tells you how dull this first half is when they can only find 2 minutes to add on.

Would love us to sign another Moroccan, then you'd know the good times are really coming back.
