one last thing. uefa gives rules to the refrees. for example in each game at least 4 mins addded to the 90th minute. because UEFA tells refrees to do so. even though there might not be injuries in the game but refree would still ad 4 mins.

same thing goes with extra time 2nd half which is the 4th half really.

Refrees are also told by uefa to put extra mins in that extra time as well. regardless if there were injuries or not.

Wow. Such blatant bull****. You once again prove your knowledge of the game to be tiny. This reason right here, is why so many people can't stand what you say.

[Ninety]

Aha yeah that hilarious. I really hope Germany wins now, with a passion.

What is that idiot doing holding up a board with a number on it 89 minutes into the game?

- Alfista

[kaffra]

Nobody hates Turkey as a whole. We just hate how Alfista puts his two cents in and has to be a little c word about it. If you are a Turkish fan and think they won purely by skill and no luck you are absolutely the most arrogant person on this planet.

to think its all about luck and no skill is equally arrogant

[Scirwode]

to think its all about luck and no skill is equally arrogant

I think what he meant was Alfista's comments about Turkey winning their matches due to pure skill, instead of admitting there is a little bit of luck in every match played, even if one team is more skilful or better positioned than the other.

[backdrifter]

You know the worst part is the coach of Turkey, Terim has always been an arrogant fool, thinking all these wins are pure skill. He is one man who is built completely out of ego. And even though Turkey had let us watch some of the most exciting games in the tournament, I sometimes catch myself, wanting my team to lose, just to see Terim and his supporters realise that they also need some team skills.

On the other hand I'm really eager to watch the next Turkish match!

Really? And your football "knowledge" told you this? It's strange because that didn't happen in all the games. I will have to ask you for a UEFA source there, please.

[Y2Stu]

you really don't know much about football and the rules lol

The referee is the official timekeeper for the match, and may make an allowance for time lost through substitutions, injured players requiring attention, or other stoppages. This added time is commonly referred to as stoppage time or injury time, and is at the sole discretion of the referee. The referee alone signals the end of the match. In matches where a fourth official is appointed, toward the end of the half the referee signals how many minutes of stoppage time he intends to add. The fourth official then informs the players and spectators by holding up a board showing this number. The signalled stoppage time may be further extended by the referee

[Alfista]

for all of you whom said that my words about refrees adding extra times because uefa told them.

name me 1 game that did not have a 4 minute add on in the 90th minute in this torunament.

holland france had a bit more than 3 mins and less than 4. thats because the game was 4-1

honestly

you guys are pathetic. and believe that football is just a gentleman's game and there are never fixes and unwritten rules in this game.

which world do you live in?

i cant believe how many single times i have been correct in this forum

let me guess

100%

i really give a rat's butt to your thoughts about me.

guess what

my team is in the semis

where is portugal?

where is england?

wait a minute..

i smell jealousy.

[brentaal]

for all of you whom said that my words about refrees adding extra times because uefa told them.

The goal was scored almost a minute out of injury time.

[Alfista]

which goal my friend?

[brentaal]

The one by Semih Senturk.

Btw, I'm not trying to justify anything, it was the defense's fault for letting him score, but the last 2 attacks were both past injury time (that is, the time added to the extra time)

I had to check Yahoo's fixtures and results because the official Euro 2008 website doesn't list the end time of the games.

Oh, and I'm still waiting for that 4-minute source, Alfista.

[Alfista]

thats exactly what i am saying.

name me 1 hugely important competition game. such as CL semi finals or finals or quarter finals. uefa semi filans to final. World cup tournament or euro cup tournament.

4 mins are ALWAYS added to the 90th minute

and

2 mins are ALWAYS added to the 120th minute.

this has been going on for years and i cant see how you cant notice this.

remember getafe munich game this year? the game ended at 122nd minute as well.

so called miracles do happen in these time frames. in extra times. and this helps uefa or fifa to get much more money due to more interest shown by people.

i am not talking about league games such as west ham vs tottenham.

i am talking about high profile games sponsored by uefa or fifa. both international and clubs levels.

[brentaal]

You're not listening. This was a minute outside of the injury aka added time.

Oh, and I'm still waiting for that 4-minute source, Alfista.

if you read my psot

you see that i am talking about the quarter to finals

NOT the league.

it is not a source

it is a FACT

watch tonights game holland vs russia.

unless the score is 3-0 or something

you will see a 4th minute being added.

[Scirwode]

Also, bear in mind injury time is determined by the amount of time the game has stopped and resumed. The most I believe is 7 or 8, if I'm not mistaken.

Scirwode

advertisement reasons

holland vs russia

spain vs italy

than semi final than final

all will have 4 minutes added UNLESS the game is at least 2-0 or 3-0 by the 90th minute.

lets hope all these games will be either 0-0 or 1-0 or 2-1 or something like that

and you will see what i am talking about.
