Sound of Football Podcast 515 - World Cup 2022: Time after time
England's World Cup has got off to a dream start with a comfortable, confidence-building win over Iran. Off the field the controversies continue to overshadow the whole event - including FIFA's decision to block the England captain's choice to wear the OneLove armband.
On the field, in the matches that have been played so far, there's been a lot of time added on for stoppages in a deliberate effort to disincentivise time-wasting. Will it work, or just make games even longer?
Also, we've done a World Cup quiz, why not test your knowledge.
