I am seeing people genuinely suggest that because the player 'headed' the foot it isn't a foul - in slow motion it may look that way but in full speed he has gone to head the ball and the strikers leg gets there first, therefore risking injury and therefore causing dangerous play - the fact...

Found this - think the injuries were classed as serious

Right then, James and Ayew both treated on field, both go off and then both waved back on within 10 seconds, some one explain please!

I think I agree, but it’s hard because I would want and to extend this to players pushing other players off the pitch in to advertising boards/ railings. Also to think of a recent example, the Sunderland striker who pushed Romero in to his own keeper which meant Romero was then out for the...

I think I would too! We’ve stopped the game just for you, now you may as well have your ‘injury’ looked at and treated because you’re off for a minute anyway!

I think it is new for this year, at least that is how I read it! So it just needs one of those bullet points for the player to go off?

Another thing I noticed from the Portugal game, A player down injured, Fernandes had the ball and was shouting at the ref to stop the game because of an injury (he was fine by the way). The ref was shouting for him to put it out. I believe that if the referee had stopped the game for the...

Yea I agree, and that is what (so far) it seems to be good for. One particular instance a Mexico player was down indicating a dead leg - pre law change this would have meant a physio coming on, spraying the area, then the player jumping up, walking off and screaming to come back on. This time he...

Noticed quite a few times last night in the Mexico game players that were down 'injured' managed to run off those injuries instead of needing a physio on and taking more time - definitely sped things up, but, one argument may be that players shouldn't have to 'run' things off but I suppose...

I have to ask…. Is anyone using grip socks? Either full-sized grip socks or grip socks with a sock ‘sleeve?’ I’m tempted but didn’t know if it was frowned upon and something only players do!!

I just thought that was how they were supposed to fit! No wonder I kept falling over!

Nothing wrong with a slight delay as long as we get to the right decision ;)

33 years old and only just discovered I have been buying the wrong sized boots for all these years (which is why my toenails are always black!!). It turns out different brands have different ideas for what a size 9 is, or what a size 8.5 is! It is only subtle but if you check the EU size too...

Wonder if next season the substitute will be made to wait 60 seconds before coming on!

Haven’t got a clip yet but just before the Haaland goal, out of interest would anyone be giving an IDFK to Man City for that overhead kick attempt from the Bournemouth defender? (Had there been no advantage etc etc)
