5 most infamous time-wasting tactics in football

#2 The corner flag attraction

That the footballers are attracted towards goal is understood, but there is one more thing on the field that the players cannot resist. Yes, the corner flag. Perhaps, the most forgotten object gets the maximum attention during the dying minutes of the game.

The oldest time wasting trick in the book, any team’s manager would want his players to take the ball to the corner flag in the opposition half. Be it dancing around the ball, standing over the ball, lying over the ball or pushing away opponents from the ball, the motive is to stay at the corner flag as long as possible.

Two things are achieved through this trick, the opposition is far away from the defence so they would have to travel a long distance before they do any damage and of course time is definitely wasted.
