Every ref and every game is different though.
This ref gave 3 minutes for Germany - Hungary...which had no VAR, no penalty, 1 second half goal, and 2 yellows in the second half.
The game today had 7 second half yellows, a VAR review, a penalty, a goal and 6 substitution breaks. I would bet if we went and counted the second half time where play was stopped it was close to 8 minutes, was a very choppy second half.
In the end I thought Italy were the better team today and a draw is the least they deserved.
