How Europeans came up with soccer:

"How long should the games be?"
"90 minutes more or less"
"More or less?"
"Yeah, the refs might decide to add a few minutes at the end to account for injuries"
"But then the game ends?"
"Unless there's another injury"
"What happens then?"
"More stoppage time"
"How much?"
"The ref can estimate in his head"
"Well that doesn't sound very objective"
"Well we'll have VAR for replays"
"To count how much stoppage time to add?"
"No, to see if someone's foot was too far up the field"
"Oh. And what counts as a foul?"
"Did they fall to the ground?"
"I mean uh sure"
"And are they grabbing their knee?"
"Maybe...?"
"Sounds like a foul!"
"Fine, well how will we make sure the games are fair & competitive & the best team wins at least?"
"What if we put knock-outs 100% in the hands of each team's goalie with 1 on 1 penalty shootouts?"
