Fair enough, if you think there was only 5 minutes when the ball was out of the play then I don't really know what else can be said.

We all know if it had been 3:0 after 90 minutes, the overtime would have been a reasonable 5 minutes. FIFA wanted 13 so they could hope for more drama if there had been a goal by England. The 1:0 gave them ideas.

And it’s worrisome that normal people come to FIFA’s defense here, as if it’s not common knowledge that they force the officials to make matches “more exciting”.
