Are we at the point now where we have no idea how much time is left in the game?

That's my favorite part...

Wow, look at that, it finished within a second of when they said it would - Reagen Jun 26, 10:53 15
- Heh. I have noticed that WC timing tends to take that at least x minutes of added time pretty literal - JD Jun 26, 10:55
- Meanwhile, the other one said 4 and went 5. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:55 13
  - How hard is it to just have a clock that ticks backwards? And when it gets to 0, the game's over? -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 10:55 12
    - About as hard as it would be to remove the clocks in the NFL and have only the main ref keep the official time -- nm - JD Jun 26, 10:58 2
      - That's like saying let's go back to the time before fire and the wheel. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:59 1
        
        heh -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 11:00
    - it's been tried. Results in even more time wasting. - Reagen Jun 26, 10:57
    - I lvoe that such a simple solution alienates so many people. - David Jun 26, 10:57 1
      - There's nothing to fix -- nm - JD Jun 26, 10:59
    - jebus. Every. four. years. -- nm - mud Jun 26, 10:56 5
      - I know, right? You'd think they would be able to fix that shit before the next one. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 10:57 4
        
        it is not even a problem so why spend air on discussing it -- nm - Dándukini Jun 26, 10:58 3
        
        Ah, well since you've decided it's not worth discussing, I guess I'll shut up now. nm - Jim Jun 26, 10:58 2
        
        no no. It`s okay, it`ll continue in 2018. -- nm - mud Jun 26, 10:59 1
        
        yep -- nm - Dándukini Jun 26, 11:01
They held up a big digital sign with the number of minutes on it. - Tyego97 Jun 26, 10:52
Yes. I'm assured that precise calculations would be worse. -- nm - David Jun 26, 10:51 2
- I'd love to hear that argument. The players not knowing when the game will end is ridiculous. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 10:52 1
  - it's far mor flexible this way and it is also announced by signs and speakers in a stadium -- nm - Dándukini Jun 26, 10:54
