PussEKatt Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 These (so called ) injuries are really getting up my nose at the WC.Players are going down for nothing at all.The way most of the players are carrying on I would think that if their girlfriend kissed them on the cheek the girlfriend would have to call an ambulance and rush them to emergency. IMHO any injury ( apart from head ) should be treated off the field. That way if a player is going to go down because another player brusshed past him he gets treated off the field and his team are down to 10 men while he gets treatement for the life threatning injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the contrary, I've been saying for a while that they should be treated ON the field. Half the reason we get delays now is because players have to be taken off the filed for treatment, so the game has to stop. Let the physios on the pitch and treat the player while the game carries on. They'll soon be getting straight back up if the game just carries on around them. The ref can still have the power to stop the game if it's a serious injury or a head injury Edited December 3, 2022 by Stevo985 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Mad to think the drop in quality of Dutch players over the last 20 years. Their centre forward options back then were Makaay, Van Nistelrooy, Hasselbaink, Kluivert, Bergkamp and Van Hooijdonk. Maybe it is just the days of proper centre forwards is gone.

Yeah I know but they’d stop the game to get them off the pitch so the players would still have motivation to fake injuries. If the game literally doesn’t stop there’s no motivation. If you take an injury you’re hurting your own team because you’re down to 10 men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 The amount of players that pop straight back up when the game carries on - after pretending to go down with life threatening injuries - show that they're taking the piss. Something should be done. It's not ok to pretend this is just 'part of the game' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I think Argentina will win the World Cup. For the semis I predict Argentina v France and Brazil v Spain. Then both remaining S. American teams in the final... Argentina to beat Brazil by one goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not ok to pretend this is just 'part of the game' If you go down needing treatment, you should have a mandatory 2 minutes off the field of play just to make sure you really are ok to continue. If you voluntarily leave the field of play for treatment, then you Don not have the mandatory 2 minutes. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
