FIFA orders World Cup referees to add time at end of games

I am old enough to remember when a match would normally finish after about 91 minutes, but having ten minutes stoppage time is just silly.

I don't like this idea.

Idiots running FIFA are destroying the beautiful game!

This is all so damned stupid, LOL!! Just stop the clock when play is halted or when the ball goes out of bounds, then...get ready....START the clock again when play resumes.....and finally END the halves at 45minutes SHARP!!

There done!!!

If you were to do this then then the average game would last well over 2 hours.

FIFA need to be careful with what they are doing. Punishing time-wasting is one thing, 10 minutes of added time is another.

Puts a greater strain physically on the players.
