  1. I've watched many football matches, I've yet to see one that ended exactly at the 90 minute mark. There has always been added time. 1 minute being the least 10 minutes (at the recent world cup) being the most I've seen.

    There was drama at last year's Africa Cup of Nations when a referee ended a match after 86 minutes to the utter bewilderment of both teams.

  2. most teams have 2 backup goalkeepers on the bench, but sometimes u are out of substitutions, in that case an outfield player would change to a keeper jersey , wear gloves and go between the sticks, wich would make for a very fun end game

  3. So… some answers:
    1. Can the goalkeeper get a red card? Yes, yes he can. If that happens, the team would substitute a regular player and put a new keeper OR if for some reason they can't do that, they will simply give the keeper shirt to a regular player (to mark him and tell everyone he's now the designated keeper) and he'll just have to do his best. It's rare for a regular player to have to play as a keeper, but it happens.
    2. The offside rule's logic isn't about preventing "cheating" or cherrypicking, but more about… if that were allowed teams would be inclined to react extra-defensively and the match would be less spectacular. A lot of football rules are designed to keep the match going, without stopping and making it pleasant to watch. Same thing with the referee giving a team advantage and not stopping play, if they have the ball, he could stop the play for a foul, but the play needs to keep going. Same thing with the keeper not being allowed to catch the ball, if it comes from a player of the same team… this was done in the past and because it was used as a tactical trick, so this rule was created. So not every rule is about fair/unfair, as much as… does it make the pacing smoother with as little breaks in play as possible?

  4. ABout the game ending exactly at 90 minutes, it happens. If you're looking to have the game be exactly 90 minutes, it would be impossible. But I've seen games, specially on the Germany league, where the ref calls it at minute 90 because one team is winning for like 3 or 4 goals and there's no point on keeping the game going for an extra couple of minutes.

  5. Some matches doesn't add extra time and end at 90 because the score is way too high and the referee just end the macht, like, if the match is going 6-0 then the referee just end it because it is pointless to continue the game, mostly on league matches, on international matches they add just to follow the rules

  6. 7:30 ironically that goal should have been awarded since Dos Santos wasn't offside, he actually scored a second goal that same match that was also called back for offside and that too should have been awarded, I know, I'm Mexican and that world cup we got robbed 🙁

  7. Offside rule comes from rugby, or more precisely from the game that was an ancestor of football, rugby and american football.
    There was a rule that still exists in rugby, the remnant of it exists in football as an offside and it's completely gone in american football. In the first version of football you could not pass the ball forward only backwards, you had to gain a field by running with the ball (it's still like this in rugby) later in football they've changed it to 4 men onside, where at least 4 opponents had to be closer to the goal line than the reciver of the pass, finally it settled as 2 men onside, so the offside rule as we use today.
    Fun fact, in the first half of 19th century the rules were a mess, basically every club in Britain were using different rules, so often one half of the match was played by one set of rules and the other half by other set of rules. And the differences weren't minor, sometimes they played one half using hands and the other using feet xD Thankfully they've noticed it was madness so the clubs created different leagues for the game playing with hand (rugby) and feet (football).

  8. In terms of teams to follow, I would recommended following your MLS team if you live in a city that has a team, and also a premier league team. The English premier league is the best in the world right now, so its always good to keep up to date with it.

  9. Offside is basically this: Your teammates CAN'T pass it to you while you are behind a defender, but if they pass it to you before you get behind them then there's no offside. That is why you can see defenders normally forming a line. Without offsides football would just be chaos in my opinion.
