I said Twellman is not qualified to determine if a player must come out. I have no problem if a team would like to determine whether a player can continue Finally, the LOTG require that a player must temporarily leave a game if bleeding
if a player is bleeding and laying on the ground holding their head...they should come out and be evaluated. tt is 100% correct and 100% qualified to say that. He didn't say that he 100% without a doubt had a serious life altering concussion...he has said many times before in that situation that players need to be evaluated in that situation...and they do. oh by the way he never determined if anyone should come out or not. I don't think the staffs from either side heard him say that and went on that to determine whether they should stay in or not.
Shame this bunch wasn’t on field last year. It may not hav been pretty, but they took everything the French threw at them like a collective Rocky Balboa...
Not at all. I'm actually wondering if you both got hit by shotputs, not me! I'm thinking that a cut to the head isn't necessarily enough to injure a player such that they leave the game. Much like how a clash of heads isn't necessarily enough to injure a player and take them out of the game. You put the two potential injuries together and, to borrow from our opponents... voila! Hitting your head and having a bleeding head may or may not preclude you from the game. It depends on the evaluation on the player, something you seem to think is being protested/argued against. TT's concerned about head injuries because his career was cut short by them. He's going to err on the side of just getting them out of there. I think we should just get them evaluated, and let independent medical professionals sort it out. To repeat, please read this slowly to understand it: Injuries that look bad (e.g my shotput story) may not be so bad. Injuries that may look innocuous may in fact indicate a deeper, worse issue.
http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/38/6/678 Abstract Athletes are at risk of blood borne infections through bleeding injuries or injection of drugs with contaminated syringes. Prevention should focus on reducing non-sport associated risky behaviour, as well as dealing appropriately with bleeding injuries. The risk of transmission of hepatitis B virus is particularly high in athletes in contact and collision sports, those who live in or travel to endemic regions, injecting drug abusers, and those who practice first aid when there is no healthcare practitioner available. It is recommended that such athletes, and also adolescent athletes, should be vaccinated against the virus as a routine. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/hiv-hepatitis-and-sport To become infected with HIV or hepatitis B or C while playing sports, body fluids such as blood from an infected person would need to enter your bloodstream through: a significant abrasion (cut) on your skin a bleeding wound your mucous membranes (such as in your mouth or eyes). HIV and hepatitis B are spread in similar ways.
Suyuntuy, do I really need to point out the bleeding occurred as a result of the collision and there was no contact between the two after they started bleeding? If they started rubbing their bloody heads against one another, that would be different. Alas, they did not.
The chance is small, but it's enough for one drop to contact your open wound, and a contact wound can spray. So if both got them, there is a tiny risk. At any rate, I wouldn't be opposed to soccer being played with helmets eventually. Head-to-head collisions are dangerous for many other reasons, too.
Green goal was part luck, if you look at the replay he was just aiming for the nutmeg, if his shot didn't ricochet off the defender's leg, it would have gone wide.
turning and hitting the ball like that past the GK almost always involves luck. But some forwards are more lucky than others.
there is some luck on any goal was he lucky it perfectly nutmegged defender, sure was he lucky lloris gave him the near post, sure was he lucky got by loris, sure it was a good goal but the fact is he wasn't very good in the match.
Dallas won today and everybody on the team got a WS rating above 7.0 except their 3 midfielders who scored below 7.0 and the lowest rating of all went to Kellyn Acosta. He was flop of the match.
I was happy with Steffen and the defensive shape, I was unhappy with the frequency of giving the ball away cheaply in possession in the middle of the field (or worse). I’m hoping it’s a composure thing that these kids will learn as they grow, but at some point I would like to see a US team be able to regularly maintain possession into the final third against top competition. If they get there against elite opponents, it would represent genuine progress.
I hope Stewart and company can hire someone who can really develop this great young nucleus we have. And I hope the kids play all of the 2022 cycle. Out with the old and in with the new.
If I am Stewart, my first requirement of the new coach would be: "I don't want any key players of the failed WCQ campaign on the roster going forward, with the exception of CP and Yedlin"
Difficult for me to argue against that rule. There may be a few more names of players but I do not want to see more than a handful of players who played in the 2018 cycle. These kids plus other kids who are not even on this roster are going to be really good.
"GIROUD HEAD INJURY!!!!" Let's just forget about the other guy who's also gesticulating in extreme pain and who looks even more like he just had his head forcibly dunked into a bucket of blood, but..."GIROUD HEAD INJURY!!!!" (I know you're not the one who posted that Tweet, Suyuntuy.).
Honestly we say this type of thing at the start of every new cycle. Remember how optimistic we all were for the Czech game in fall of 2014 and the young players there? Some players will pan out, some won't and we'll still have holes to fill in the starting 11. If DaMarcus Beasley and Kyle f-cking Beckerman managed to put in competent bordering on good performances in the last World Cup, I would hardly be surprised to see a Jozy Altidore in the 23 in 2022.
I wasn't excited overall. I remember liking what I saw from Gyau, but he got persistently injured, so what you gonna do. Klinsmann refused to integrate players from MLS or countries that weren't traditional powers (how he missed Bjorn too) outside Jan. camp because of snobbish and ignorance. This squad had a few guys who were effectively integrated from there, in spite of MLS refusing to release most players. They will presumably be worked in by the next guy who won't be so stubborn. Casting a wider net. This was also multi-game camp that is cause for optimism. That was a 1-off. And we have succeeded much more in youth internationals the last couple of years than the several previous ones. It's possible Altidore is on the 2022 squad, but he's much more talented and genetically gifted than Beckerman, and maybe just as depth at one of our weaker positions. Edit: but seeing what you were responding to I'm not on his side of that argument either. He's trying to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Jordan Morris and Matt Besler didn't dirty it up. Neither did Villafana either really. But he's prejudging out of age and league bias (don't need to make the same aforementioned mistake Klinsmann did), plus being emotional about the downfall. Maintain who helps you. It's as simple as that. Very few groups are almost all bad or good. We're still in the middle of the process of figuring out who that's new we can add to the squad going forward. By the end coalesce the groups. The beauty of this camp was we made plenty of prospects veterans that can help us evaluate other players. We need even less of the more entrenched vets at next camp. So our A squad come meaningful matches should be young lions, but be open to some of the old grizzled lions if they give us the best chance to win the battle.
What happened in other cycles is pretty much meaningless to me for two reasons: 1) Desperate times call for desperate measures. Missing the World Cup is a disaster and something we need to be ashamed of. Something like that has to be forgotten and for me the best way to do it is to bring in the new hungry young pups who want to prove themselves and are ready to learn and grow together and be known as the generation that helps bring back the USA to the Cup. 2 I don't remember too many previous cycles in which the U20s and U17 guys looked this ready to play. I loved last years U20 and U17 teams especially but the U20 from 2015 was not that bad either. Playing them together will be beneficial especially with the CONCACAF Nations League providing more opportunities to play real games in venues they will have to try and get intimidating points in some time eventually.
I mean, the U-20s were fun this time around, but so were the '05 and '07 teams. Plenty of these guys are unfortunately going to have a Sal Zizzo or Danny Szetela level ceiling.
