I thought this might be the first match with no added time in the first half, just one minute.

Mbappe missed training today, ankle trouble apparently, like we’d fall for that one 🤔

Frustrating game, I was hoping for some goals by now.

A criminal psychologist was talking about how traumatic being burgled is regardless of how much is taken. Don't underestimate it. It took me ages to get over having a video stolen and the last thing you want is Sterling thinking about his stolen watch before he's about to take his penalty.
I don't underestimate being burgled. It happened to me twice. 1st time I wasn't there. 2nd time i returned while they were still there.
I was lucky. Burglars 1st task is to put the snip down on the front door so the owner can't get in.
I realised what was happening so rushed round the back to confront them. Utterly stupid thing to do. Thankfully they legged it. But one of the items they took was a Sabatier kitchen knife. So if I had managed to confront them......??
Anyhow after the 1st burglary I slept with a hammer next to the bed.
But it didn't alter any aspect of my life other than feeling a bit vulnerable (irrationally so IMO). And as I say I ddin't have the capacity to ramp up the security like Sterling does.
I still don''t see what use him flying back serves. Do they not have friends and relatives to offer support? It's a bit potty.
Stop assuming everybody reacts the same way as you greenmark, we're all different. I think I'm capable of coping better than most with life's traumas but some people can't function as well and I don't have a wife and young children to worry about so I wouldn't prejudge people or how they should react in certain circumstances. All I know is that many people would need time off work and playing football at the highest level is a job that requires full focus.

In fact, I shouldn't even be typing this while I'm trading a WC match. ;)
OK. Think we've done that subject now. :-)

Is it compulsory now that players are tackled they must go to ground and roll around like they have just been shot?

That's one of the approaches. The other is to lie still. It's all manipulation. But I pity the officials trying to decide whether a player is in genuine jeopardy and needs urgent medical support. But I guess they are quite well paid for watching a game of footy with 99% of games passing with no serious medical issues.
