    Why don't they stop the clock?
    Watching the us v Ghana game it had me wondering again. Any team would do like Ghana and try to waste clock it fifas job to make a rule change. They gotta be able to stop the clock when the balls not in play!

    This is why I love American football, no stupid fouls (NBA), more scoring and they have REFs that keep time and watch replays

    Is it just me or does anyone else feel this is all a bunch of BS?

          Agree. It should not be the refs job to timekeeping. It should be a professional time-keeper.

                    For the guy who said wud I be made if US did it-
                    I'm not mad at Ghana for what they did it's the stupid @&&$@! rulesthat r to blame.

                    They found a loophole in the rules and the rules need to adjust!

                      Ok I don't know who wud be in charge of the rule change to take place in this competion, but the rule would just make sense
                      Plus they could ad more commercials

                          I don't if you are being sarcastic... But I don't mind them wasting time on the field but when they take a minute of game time for a throw in and for substitutions it seems ridicious it's allowed, it just seems like an obvious flaw that needs fixing

                          This ain't the last you'll here from me on the issue, don't worry

                            What a relief that you're unto this. All these years of watching soccer, and all it was needed was an observant SBR poster.

                              Ok I get what your saying but that's not the point. Which way do you prefer? That's my question
                              Which way mAkes sense? Your point is a fallacy! Your basically saying we should keep it the way it is because that's the way it always has been

                                FIFA is in the dark ages. Another problem is they still won't use video since they fear it will take power away from ref but I think they should have a few persons watching video and in important decisions communicate to the ref. Maybe then the 3rd US goal vs Slovenia would of been allowed, a Chili player wouldn't of been wrongly red carded for what was clearly a dive in Chili v Spain thus the diver could of been warned or carded, and many other examples. Eventually players would stop diving and start playing the game

                                  Guys I'm an American but I must say reading the posts in this forums shows how much the public in our country has to learn or care before this amazing game is more popular.
                                  First of all it's not "FIFA" Soccer has rules that changed and develop through the years, but for the past 100 plus years the rules are solid and pretty much hasn't changed while the other sports changed.
                                  The #1 reason we don't see changes like replays, is due to the fact FIFA must have the same rules for ALL the leagues. That means that if you have refs going to watch replays when they are not sure if it's a goal in the premier league in England, the same will have to happen in the 5th division in a league of a 3rd world country. Most soccer teams in the world are loosing money, a lot of money, you cannot add such things, you will destroy those leagues.

                                  Now, they might change things for the WC only, but then they change the entire perception of the game. About the time, a ref must have 90 min of play, that means every sub, every injury, every time the games doesn't go, he stops his other watch (every ref has two) and then he should know how much time to add. Some refs do it better than other's, but that's how it goes.
                                  The biggest thing that should happen is better refs, that's all.

                                    I think coaches should be allowed to challenge two plays per game.

                                    As to time keeping. Why would anyone want to sit around for five hours for just 60 minutes of action, as for the Superbowl? The way soccer keeps time is fine. The rules were already adjusted with the addition of extra time for each half, as shown from the sideline by the fourth official, who keeps track of time. Time wasting is a thing of the past, because time is added on. In the past it was a problem.

                                    Anyway, don't let me keep you from your noble purpose in life. Go change it. Let your voice be heard. Fly over to FIFA headquarters. Write the national media. Don't forget your local governer. After all, the US crashed out, and this would explain why. Right? Leave it to Americans to glance at a sport and immediately know how to make it better. Ever noticed that arrogance and ignorance rhyme?

                                        You know the "overtime" as you Yanks call it? The time added at the end of the game? It's additional time to make up for the time lost during the game for injuries and substitutions and sorts. Learn the rules first and then question the game.

                                                i also wondered why dont stop the clock, it will remove play acting from the game, also they should punish players who fake face injuries,
                                                Forward points to Karayilan, i am unable to receive SBR points

                                                    Sorry for some harsh words, but I find American become total assholes when it comes to soccer (sorry, again). Just look at how many such threads are created in this world cup: vuvuzela, see draw with England like a win or major upset (luckily the algerians are not like this, although it is accomplishment for them), see it's like it's the end of the world for the disqualified goals, action replay, referee, this time wasting and other things. If you follow european or other soccer leagues, I just dont think this is strange at all. Maybe not in other sports, but it happens in soccer accept this.

                                                    Now back to time wasting problem, for injury faking or throw in or goalkeeper wasting time, sometimes referee can issue yellow card to the players for excessive time wasting. I'm not sure about throw in, but in Fifa's rules, there are actually regulations that 90 minute in soccer actually included time needed for player substitutions. I think it will include throw in as well. You need to treat 90 min in soccer not like other sports. Those 90 minutes actually include "misc" things. And agreed with WiseGrumpy, you need to accept this, soccer is world sport, more than baseball, basketball, hockey, football. You won't find such sport leagues in third world country, but you can find they even have two division leagues just for soccer...

                                                    Sorry again, I'm not American hater, just that I keep thinking how arrogant you guys are during this world cup

                                                        stopping the clock would make no difference at all because all they (ghana in this case) are trying to do is break up the pattern of play rather than actually waste time since the time is added on at the end.

                                                          In the first extra time half they added on 1 minute. Just 1. There should have been closer to 5 mins cause there was an injury and plenty of other time the ball was not on the pitch in play

                                                            Here would be my solution right now. Show both of the refs clocks on tv, so when he doesn't stop it at least we can yell at him and maybe eventually get some justice.
                                                            How bout that?
