"People really don’t pay attention to the clock."

As an American, that always been one of my issues with soccer. American football and basketball are timed down to the tenth of a second, we have instant-replay to correct timing errors, and those tenths-of-a-second sometimes make a difference. Soccer's Medieval sense of timekeeping has always bothered me. If they don't care about accurate time, why don't they just use an hourglass?

Its just more exciting not to have to be bound by an arbitrary time.

It brings out the best in players on the field.

Last time I went to a MLS game, they used the “non-Medieval” method. And frankly (in my opinion), it ruined the game for me.

I’d rather they have so-so time keeping than commercial breaks. I watched this game, had really no clue what was going on but I dug that it didn’t go to commercial break all the time. Refreshing.

I don’t like that the ball goes out of bounds all the time but I guess it’s grueling enough that they need some breaks. Just that it happens all the time. Also the flopping element is pretty bad.

The wild celebrations after a goal is scored are pretty grating to me, but at least it doesn’t happen for mundane things 30 times a game.
