Soccer question for Phil C or anyone else 'in the know'...

[Gobbla2001]

Why does the clock in soccer count up and not down?

its counting up to 90 minutes and then at the end if there have been injurie they add on the time taken away since they don't stop the clock, and most of the starters play the whole game, and there is a half time at the 45 min..mark

Thanks, man...

You think they could just stop the clock at injuries and make the clock count-down... hmmm...
