I know, its weird.

The only person in the entire stadium that has the official time is the center referee. The stadium clock counts up to show how much time has elapsed so the players, coaches, and fans have a general idea how much time has gone by. Around the 90th minute, the referee will tell the ref at the scorer's table about how much time is left in the game, and that gets announced over the loud speakers. The game ends when the ref blows the whistle.

Why the time goes over 90 minutes is when the referee stops his stopwatch for injuries, goal celebrations, etc. That time is called "stoppage time".

That seems shady as fuck. So if the ref is partial to...well, tonight, let's say the ref is partial to Mexico, he could give them as much time as he wanted to mount a comeback?

I mounted a comeback in Mexico when I lived down there. She was ugly as sin but one hell of a cook though.

The time is supposed to coincide with the amount of stoppage time (injuries, substitutions, etc) since the clock generally keeps running in soccer.

It's usually 2-5 minutes, which isn't much time in a game as drawn out as soccer.

The most I've ever seen was 4 minutes and that's because there were two injuries where players were removed in a half. It's typically 1-2 minutes.

It's possible, but even if he did, it wouldn't be a whole lot of time. Roger's right on as far as how much time is usually awarded. I've seen 7 minutes before once, and that was considered an eternity. Then again, there were multiple cards (including a couple red), a melee, and a goal during that half.

Hahaha! Not Frankie. Now if it happend to Clint Dempsey... that's a whole different story.




Central Midfielders Emerging For U.S. - MLS

Lots of good things to say about Columbus! I loved this one:
"This is going to become National Stadium pretty soon," Kljestan said. "We need to play all our home games here if we win 2-0. I'm pretty proud we got three points to start qualifying."

Frankie Hejduk even talked a little about what happend there after the game:
There was a postgame scuffle in the tunnel to the locker rooms and Hejduk said he was knocked on the head by a Mexican official.

"There were some words said," he said. "I think they thought I said something I didn't say. It was a little love tap from someone on the head. It wasn't one of the players. It was one of the administrators."

The other scores from CONCACAF region for World Cup Qualifying tonight:
Costa Rica defeats Honduras 2-0
El Salvador and Trinidad & Tobago tie 2-2

So the table should look something like this after the 1st game of the 4th round of qualifying:
USA -- 3 points
Costa Rica -- 3 points
El Salvador -- 1 point
Trinidad & Tobago -- 1 point
Mexico -- 0 points
Honduras -- 0 points

As I understand it, the top 3 teams that end up with the most points qualify for the World Cup. The team that finishes 4th goes into a playoff game against South America's #5 team for the final spot in the Americas. I have a hard time thinking this region might produce 4 teams going to South Africa for the Cup, but if Mexico ends up being that team that finishes 4th, it very well might happen.

Did you see that graphic during the game that the USA is 40-0-11 (now 41) in Qualifying matches (or was it CONCACAF matches) since 2001. CRAZY.
