They do go into overtime: 15 minutes on each side, plus additional time at the end of each half. Argentina and France played a little over 40 minutes AFTER the clock ran out before heading into kickoffs.Honestly its so weird that soccer matches end in kickoffs instead of over-time like every other sport. Like if its just about celebrating individual players ability to score goals, skip the entire match and go to the kickoffs. Or if its about team coordination and skills, do overtime play. Its so jarring going from the actual match to kickoffs to decide the winner. Itd be like if a tied basketball game was settled with rock/paper/scissors.
