Bundesliga set for longer games as Germany embraces more added time in soccer - World
Germany's top men's league is the latest to follow a trend set by the 2022 World Cup and the English Premier League by measuring the exact time taken up by events like red cards, penalties and injuries, and adding that amount on at the end of each half.
'We currently have just under 60 minutes of net playing time (with the ball in play), which will probably increase somewhat,' said Knut Kircher, the German refereeing body's managing director of sports and communication, in comments reported Tuesday by German agency dpa.
The new Bundesliga season starts Aug. 22 but the changes have already taken effect in the men's second and third tiers. There's been a backlash against some decisions.

Inter Milan Shift Transfer Focus from Lookman to Roma's Kone
Rana Atef It was reported that Inter Milan may change the focus of their transfer from Atalanta's Ademola Lookman to Roma midfielder Manu Koné. According to Sky Sport Italia, citing FCInter1908, the Nerazzurri are now waiting for a green light from owners Oaktree Capital before making a move. The 24-year-old France international emerged as a surprise candidate for Inter's midfield rebuild. The club views him as an ideal fit for the holding role, particularly in a double-pivot system—something that current options like Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Çalhanoğlu are less naturally suited to. Roma, for their part, are reportedly open to listening to offers for the player, which has prompted Inter to sense a potential opportunity. This change in direction comes after frustration in negotiations for Lookman. Inter had identified the Nigerian international as a priority attacking reinforcement this summer, but their bid was turned down by Atalanta. With talks stalling, the club has opted to reallocate those funds toward strengthening the midfield instead. Lookman's situation has been one of the more high-profile stories of the Italian transfer window. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
