It didn't bring the game to a standstill, in my opinion that implies that the game stopped for a long time. It paused for about 30 seconds until he got tackled and removed. Most people didn't even realize what was happening as they cut away from him as they usually do because this is a common occurrence.

Standstill - situation or activity in which there is no activity or movement.

So like, a football match with no activity cause plays been stopped.

It is all over the news, though. Mission accomplished from that perspective.

Yeah, but this post, like many others, is meant for the average redditor who knows nothing about football, so they can imagine this is the worst World Cup ever while instead things are pretty much in the norm.

I've even seen people trying to argue that Qatar's elimination in the group stage somehow proves they shouldn't have gotten the right to host the tournament... so they mean like South Africa in 2010, huh?
