KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Soccer matches are 90 minutes, not accounting for stoppage time. World Cup matches have two 45-minute halves, but games have regularly been stretching past 100 minutes because of added time from referees.

Detailed explanation-2: -That means if a game is tied after 90 minutes, it will go to extra time. Here’s how it works. After a short break, the teams will play two 15-minute extra periods, including any minutes of added time the officials deem necessary.

Detailed explanation-3: -As is the case in domestic competition, each match at the World Cup lasts a cool 90 minutes.

Detailed explanation-4: -If a group-stage game is tied after 90 minutes and stoppage time-the additional minutes added at the end of each half to account for injuries and other pauses in game action-the match ends. Each team receives one point in the group standings.
