In reality, they end up being like 140 mins. (45+5)+(45+10)+(15+15+5)

  Remember that additional 20 minutes is added because it's actually time they spent not playing. So in reality they're now playing a full 90 or 120 minutes after having in the past possibly played only 75 or 100.

    And even those 20 min of injury time are probably waaayyy less than the time the game was actually on hold for due to injuries or other shenanigans. Unfortunately TV time slots are so strict, that getting actual 90+30 min of game time cannot really be a thing anymore. Thus, strategies to waste time dominate, much to the frustration of everyone except the winning team

      I think TV channels deliberately schedule optional shit after these kinds of games, the thinking being that the pundits can fill time to the next nearest half-hour slot begins then the schedule can resume
