If your team is winning, why would your players lie there on the ground for minutes pretending to be hurt, knowing that much more time is going to be added later?

Doesn’t seem very bright
IMO the refs rarely add as much time to the end as was spent by the players on the ground. I think the players know this and use this in their strategy.

I will say, during the last World Cup, the refs were diligent about adding time for injuries and other delays.

I would love to see FIFA / UEFA add fake injuries to VAR. If you clearly fake an injury to kill time you receive a yellow. Slovakia against Belgium in their 1st game were guilty of faking at least 6 or 7 times.
