The Bundesliga doesn't get the concept of extra time. On paper the Bundesliga
referees get it. It's up to them to decide, how much time was wasted through substitutions, injury
delays, time wasting or excessive goal celebrations. It's OK for them to routinely add only one or
two minutes or call it quits after exactly 90 minutes.
Is There a Trophy in That Bag?Dear Santa,
I've tried to be good in 2011. I kept my cursing at incompetent MLS referees to a minimum (6 times
per game, max), gritted my teeth and got through a mostly horrible Red Bulls season, and supported
my team home and away despite a long string of embarrassing performances and management screw-ups.
