Its supposed to be determined by play stoppage throughout the half but most of the time it seems pretty random to me.

Assuming that you mean standard extended time and not overtime, VVVV is correct.

Its supposed to be determined by play stoppage throughout the half but most of the time it seems pretty random to me.

There is a random factor built in where they cannot stop play in the middle of a run. It has to be called when play is relatively dead, or slowed (if that makes sense). In other words, they are not going to call time when a striker is 20 feet from scoring a goal.

gotcha, around the 70-something minute a player was down for I think France and they clock kept going, as the trainers etc were on the field, that struck me as odd, but i bet they probably just added that time to the extended time.

Exactly. The clock does not stop on the TV for anything but half time. The time absorbed by injuries, penalties, substitutions, etc. are all tracked on the field by the lead referee.

To hell with the French, if it wasn't for us those hairy stinkbags would be speaking Kraut.

As for Euro 2008, go Portugal.

PS: Henry is the most overrated piece of shit in any UEFA related league.

Agreed. Kuyt is amazing, that team is loaded. Portugal is about the only other to have a chance IMO.

yeah Portugal is the only compatible opponent.

Ronaldo, Deco, Simo, Quaresma can be dangerous but i still think/hope they will walk away with siilver and

Roben, Nistelroy, Van Persie, Sneider, Van der Vaart will have the golded mdeals around their necks
