To be fair, I would be hungry 80 minutes into the match as well. Maybe FIFA needs to institute a snack break around the 70 minute mark.

And they put one in!

So if results hold, as it stands now through the first 4 groups, the only European team to advance will be the Netherlands.

Ok soccer guys... why did the refs extend the game almost a whole minute past the stated extra time? I could see them allowing Italy to play out the last possession kick but once Uruguay took possession then the game should have ended. Right?

It's unfortunate that the speculation of "did he" or "didn't he" will overshadow what was a masterful game by Godin.

At any rate... ciao Italia!

When a team has a ball in the attacking third they will always let them play it out... once it's cleared the game ends... that's what happened.

They wait for it to change from the defensive third to the mid-third. Uruguay could have turned it over and given Italy a chance to score.

The stated extra time is not an exact number. It is designed to create drama for TV.

The refs were an absolute joke. No wonder no European team has won the WC in South America
