2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

[TheSeventhSonRoberto]

Yeah the Spanish broadcasters said Chile is the smallest of all the 32 nations in the world cup

 

[Night Prowler]

Andre Agassi is doing a great job as Chilean manager

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

And extra time it is!

 

[LooseCannon]

So, how does overtime work?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

They play 2 halves of 15 minutes, just like the regular halves but shorter. Then, if neither team has scored more than the other - penalty shootout.

There were attempts to use the sudden death principle (for example in Euro 96), but both FIFA and UEFA have since abandoned it in their tournaments.

 

[LooseCannon]

So you play both halves regardless, even if one team scores in the 1st, you still play the 2nd 15?

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Correct. It's just 30 minutes extra football with a short break in the middle.

 

[LooseCannon]

Thanks, Dr EW.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

In extra time you really get to see how tuned footballers are to play 90 minutes, not less, not more. The tempo usually goes down a lot in extra time. Of course, the tiredness also means there is a bigger chance of mistakes ...

So, how does overtime work?

Loosey, stop saying things like this. You're cracking me up!

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

So close ...

 

[Ariana]

Go Chile!

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

The pressure on the Brazilian players now is so huge ... I do not envy them.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

It would feel pretty odd for the hosts to go out here.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

You bet they're aware of just that ...

 

[Ariana]

I'd love to see them go out.

 

[Night Prowler]

GO CHILE!!!!! Fuck, I wish that was a goal for Pinilla What a chance...

 

[Night Prowler]

Brazilians missed Steve Gerrard in that circle to tell them that this does not fucking slip

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Luiz ... scores!

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Cesar saves!
