    maybe extra time should start with a free kick just outside the penalty box

    nope, just me. you all just complain about diving and stoppage time 50x a season and then just shrug your shoulders

    I have my doubts that they’d effectively cut out time wasting, and the 30 seconds here and there that they miss would be more consequential due to the reduced game clock

    I think that anyone whose injury requires stoppage should be substituted or required to remain off the pitch for no less than the amount of time they receive treatment, seems like an easier fix without altering the mechanics of the match

    College soccer does it. And stopped clock out of play is the same method as every other timed sport you watch (basketball, football, hockey). Again, not necessary if they added stoppage time to the current system properly

    (I know you know this but) College soccer uses a 90 minute clock without stoppage time and the pauses reflect the time which the referee should be adding to stoppage time, not all 30 minutes the ball isn’t actually in play.

    correct, they only stop it for time wasting at the end of games, that's what I meant

    Always go with some sort of fuckery. A way for a salary to avoid someone’s books for one reason or another. “Sorry Xabi, we can’t pay you that extra $600K you want. BUT this hotel that we also own and we put our players up at has a $600K receptionist position that your wife would be great at!!!”
