Added additional extra time at the end of each half for time wasting as well as injuries— much more than what had been usually done.What exactly was the plan?
They were very meticulous about counting every second of wasted time during a match, which led to games with 8-12 minutes of stoppage time at the end of the game instead of the usual 3-5 minutes you normally see.What exactly was the plan?
Or so they say. It seemed pretty random (which is no different than it always has). The whole stoppage time concept is bulls***. Just stop the clock when there's an injury, a goal, or someone is wasting time (and give a lot more yellow cards for time wasting). Then when it hits 45:00 or 90:00, the half is over.They were very meticulous about counting every second of wasted time during a match, which led to games with 8-12 minutes of stoppage time at the end of the game instead of the usual 3-5 minutes you normally see.
I'd like to see a plot of in play time before stoppage time versus stoppage time added for every half of the world cup.Or so they say.

I can understand why it was that way 100 years ago. But there's no excuse for it now (and hasn't been for at least the last 60 years). And it really is arbitrary. I've almost never seen stoppage time expire when a team has possession in the attacking 1/3 of the field.The arbitrary time keeping is such an odd concept to me. I just can't wrap my head around not knowing precisely the urgency with which I'd need to play.

"Extra time" is referring to the two 15-minute periods played if a knockout stage game is tied after 90 minutes. It's confusing, but the time added to the end of each half is called "stoppage time" or "added time" and what we would call "overtime" is called "extra time."But the tweet says “excluding extra time” so how did adding extra time add to the amount of game play in full time? I probably just don’t understand the plan

Right. My apologies for the confusion in the OP subject heading. I’ve edited it to be more accurate."Extra time" is referring to the two 15-minute periods played if a knockout stage game is tied after 90 minutes.
