@DrJesseMorse The 4 substitutions Martinez made after Croatia went ahead & left the midfield bare. Once the game was tied he had to strengthen the midfield or Croatia would keep attacking. It was a tactical decision & he pulled out 1 of his two #9โs & he chose to keep the fresher younger one.
@JonKatz79 There are a number of reasons depending on the situation. Time wasting, trying to sell a foul or a card, rest or most often he is actually hurt but not injured which requires time to work through (there arenโt timeouts or many stoppages like in other sports).
@Carson_OKC If I didn't think that most of the people saying this are engagement farming, I would book mark all of them and come back to you when you make the same complaints about calls in other sports.
@KirkHerbstreit Paramount Plus allows you to watch the Champions League. Itโs a league where the best teams across Europe participate (Hakimiโs team are champs). The English Premiere League (NBC/Peacock) & La Liga (ESPN+) are the top leagues. Rival club games have more energy than these games.
@markschlereth I love American Football. It is a different sport with different demands, but in soccer the average player runs about 8 miles (Midfielders more like 10 mi) at various speeds but often at full sprints. NFL CBs, who are the players that run the most, cover 1-1.5 miles per game.
@farhaaan7@PortugalTalks Milan just spent over โฌ70M on him so they recognize that he is a backup to Ballon Dโor winner and 13 goals this year and 18 goals last year.
