'Stoppage Time'
19 January 2023 30s
Time mismanagement.
by Andrew MacGregor

Throughout last year's World Cup in Qatar, it felt like some matches would never end. 'Extra' extra time meant some games finished well after the ninety minute mark (England's group stage game versus Iran took just under two hours to complete), much to the amusement of ESPN.

The broadcaster introduce stoppage time to ESPN headquarters in this 30" spot, much to the chagrin of Megan Rapinoe, Becky Sauerbrunn, and Sophia Smith. Just when the trio think a hellish presentation about office supplies is over, the fourth official adds nine additional minutes to the meeting.

Unfazed by the disappointment that fills the room (we love how the University of Connecticut's mascot, Jonathan the Husky, drops his folder with disdain), the jolly speaker prepares to discuss his "favourite category". Alas, the ad ends before we get to enjoy that special colour scheme.
