What's the dealio here?
I think there are a few factors.

1. Europeans don't waste that much time rolling around. We'll see how much time they add on in the Copa America which starts tonight.

2. More competent refs, less VAR needed and even VAR decisions are fast. I watched the Asian Cup proper and U23 and it was painful, 15-20 minutes added time.
