[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the game stops when the time runs out, not when the play is over![/quote]

do you actually think that is the rule in soccer?[/quote]

Ahh...yes.  It is in the World Cup and professional leagues overseas.[/quote]

This is neither world cup nor pro soccer, It's a meaningless kiddie game, so why wouldn't the ref let the play finish?[/quote]

Wait, wait -- so you're saying the ref should stop a World Cup final, in which it's safe to say they have full use of the field as long as needed, in the middle of a "play," but a U10 ref should just let them play on?[/quote]

you're either trolling or know nothing about youth soccer. no, same rules of pros don't apply to youth soccer. don't you know they use smaller ball and play on a smaller field? rec especially is about developing love of the sport and player development, and stopping a clear counter attack opportunity is in violation of both.

please don't post stupid comments like that no more.[/quote]

I coach youth soccer. I've been involved with the game at pro level. (Definitely not as a player -- I stink.)

Pro games have much more leeway with stoppage time than youth games do, for all the reasons mentioned elsewhere in the thread.[/quote]
