New: MLS is planning another potential overhaul to its playoff system, one that could involve as many as 20 teams, feature a "double-elimination" component along with a mess of other changes. Nothing finalized yet.
Full details from me on the Guardian: theguardian.com/football/202…

Anyone else notice that after #Argentina put on their second MLS player, they tied and then took the lead in the game???
In the wise words of @MattDoyle76
"Makes you think"

One has to wonder if England's players should test themselves in MLS the way Messi has. Perhaps then they wouldn't choke.

Watching the World Cup is fun and all but it doesn't hit the same knowing none of these teams can be relegated

People have said they want diving out of the game for so long and still hate the player being given a yellow for clear simulation.

From country roads to big cities, playing at home meant everything to us this summer.
We'll see you again soon.

8 of Egypt's starting XI play in Egypt Premier League across two teams - Al Ahly (5) & Pyramids FC (3).
Meanwhile the share of USMNT World Cup minutes going to guys in the domestic league has dropped from over 50% back in 2002 to under 15% the past two Cups.
Makes you think.

Lost in all of the discourse about the appeal is that it was a truly egregious red card.
A critical element that the "rulebook purists" arguing Balogun deserved a red card are conveniently overlooking:
BALOGUN was the one who was challenged from behind.
The Bosnian player played *through* Balogun from behind and placed himself in the path of Balogun's natural step.
When he begins taking that step, Balogun has no idea the Bosnian player would even be in front of him. In that sense, you can't really even consider his move a "challenge." It was simply a step that incidentally landed in the same place the opponent's foot did.
In fact, the reason Balogun's step came down so hard is *because* the Bosnian player challenged into him and knocked him off balance.
This is not "reckless" or "excessive force" by any stretch of the imagination.
The red card was *obviously* unjustified from the outset. The only thing FIFA got wrong here is not immediately suspending the red card after the match.

Here’s the thing, the entire argument falls apart when they call it unprecedented and a UEFA member, Portugal, benefited from the same thing already this tournament as Ronaldo had two games of his suspension deferred.

Balogun's early return from a red card isn't even the first we've seen in THIS World Cup 👀
FIFA suspended the final two games of a three-match suspension for Cristiano Ronaldo after a VAR review saddled him with a red card in Portugal's penultimate qualifying match vs. Republic of Ireland.
Ronaldo would've otherwise had to miss Portugal's first two games of the tournament.
