MLS to Implement Concussion Substitutes Initiative | MLSSoccer.com

QUOTE: Beginning in 2021, Major League Soccer teams will be allowed to make up to two concussion substitutes during a match to replace players suffering from a concussion or a suspected concussion, regardless of the number of substitutions already used. Providing clubs an additional two concussion substitutes allows teams to make substitutions in the interest of player health and safety, without being placed at a competitive disadvantage.

MLS teams will have the following three types of substitutions available each game:

• Normal Substitutes: A continuation from 2020, each club has five normal substitutes available to make over three separate opportunities. throughout an MLS match. Any substitutions made during halftime, or between regulation and extra time, or between the two halves of extra time in the postseason will not count as one of the three opportunities.
• Concussion Substitutes: Each team will be permitted to make up to two concussion substitutions only during instances of suspected concussions. A concussion substitution can be made immediately after a concussion occurs or is suspected, after an on-field assessment, and/or off-field assessment, or at any other time when a concussion occurs or is suspected. This includes when a player has previously been assessed and has returned to the field of play.
• Additional Substitutes: If a team uses a concussion substitution, the opposing team will receive an additional substitution that will be available to use only after all five of its normal substitutions have been made. If a team makes a second concussion substitution, the opponent receives another additional substitution opportunity.

 

Expect to see some form of that in all leagues come 2022-23/WC, then. MLS has been the pilot program for the free kick foam and VAR before greater international rollout.

About time.

 

Wednesday were the late kick off today, so that gave us the chance to go bottom of the league and 9 points from safety.

Then we’ve come to out to play Cardiff, with our manager missing due to Covid, and we’ve been absolutely sensational. 3-0 up at half time and the second goal was our goal of the season. Third was a peach of a free kick as well. Still dreading the second half though.

 

Richarlison mate

 

The swerve on that cross.

 

Absolute shocker of a half from him. Bloody hell.

 

At least Richarlison can't spit his dummy out if we don't get European football for next season. Well, you would hope he wouldn't have the cheek to do that sort of thing.

 

You see his shit with the free kick? Who does that? Who backs themselves to score a direct free kick with that much confidence? Penalities, it happens but it's much easier to score. Scoring a direct free kick, it's not worth it.

Played a couple of nice passes in the second half so far mind.

 

We won 5-0. No idea where that came from. 6 points from safety with 7 games to go. Maybe too little too late but it’s at least made the end of the season a little more interesting.

 

Ancelotti must be really pissed off. Should've won comfortably.

 

Anybody see the racist abuse during the Cadiz - Valencia game? Unbelievable. What he said was caught on camera and he still came out saying "It seems that, in this country, there is no presumption of innocence". Scumbag.

 

Lingard, my word. What a goal.

Carbon copy of a goal he scored for United a few years ago. Picks it up, continues running as defenders stand off and let him get into the box, goal haha.

Wonderful skill for the second too.

 

Jessie is so good lol

 

Some fantastic goals in this game. After Neville said he didn't expect it to be a classic live on air haha.

 

West Ham at risk of throwing a three goal lead away again. 2-3

 

How did Barcelona pull that horrific performance and still win?

I know the answer is questionable reffing in two instances, but man. Way to shit the bed.

 

Assume this is some shitty betting company but agree with the sentiment

 

LOVE to see it

 

Honestly not even remotely looking forward to this City match. Just hoping Dortmund doesn't make fools of themselves.

 

Interesting decisions from Klopp, leaving Firmino and Thiago on the bench and starting Keita and Jota. Think he'll try and push the tempo high to make Real uncomfortable. Midfield battle is of heightened importance in this tie.

 

Emre Can has not been the sharpest in our Champions League fixtures.... Another shitty error.

 

I knew Liverpool was having a historically bad season, but not let Vinicius Jr score bad season.

 

How about a yellow to Rodri for grabbing his face and rolling around for nothing

 

Embarrassing dive
