Soccer also has a big problem that could easily be corrected were it not for the obstinacy of the international governing body of the game (FIFA). No sport that plays on running time like soccer will ever be considered a big-time sport in the U.S.

Wow, the game's over . . . No, we must first play seven minutes of "injury time" after the clock has run down to 00:00!

Yeah actually stopping the clock like the NFL would help a lot. People not know how long is left in the game is no good, even in baseball they know how many outs are left.
