‘The Viking clap is ruined forever’ – Icelandic football’s sex abuse scandal https://theathletic.com/2902465/202...footballs-sex-abuse-scandal/?source=twitteruk I wonder if all the woke MLS supporters groups (and you too, USMNT SGs) will Stop the Clap in support of this #MeToo moment? Thx, Jay!
The IFAB seems ready to make the 5 substitute rule a permanent change to the LotG. EXCL: Five substitutions in football set to become permanent - proposed at International FA Board panel meeting today and strongly supported. Will put renewed pressure on Premier League to follow the rest of football from next season. Story on @TimesSport shortly.— Martyn Ziegler (@martynziegler) October 27, 2021
That seems kinda huge. And seems like it'd be a huge benefit to the top tier teams. I've been thinking that, once that got rolled back. the US wouldn't fare as well. But I guess now we'll never know.
I have to wonder how many coaches would take advantage of that. Sometimes they don't even use 3. Sometimes they use it all the last 3 minutes to waste time. This part is the one that I dread the most. I imagine a close final, where the last minutes are just wasted substitution time. It is noticeable with 3, with 5 could be baaad.
Would teams still only have 3 windows to make substitutions? If so, the 5 subs doesn't take much longer than 3.
As long as there are only three opportunities to make a total of five substitutions, I'm all for it. Now the IFAB needs to get more refs on the pitch.
