it takes away the momentum in the game. the rule was made to counter time wasting but it takes everything from the game especially in cases where you are in pain for half a minute which is a normal thing in football and you are punished for that even when losing. makes absolutely no sense and sounds like a US induced rule.

Yeah.. and not many teams can do that but still.

The player made a very dangerous tackle on Messi which was a clear yellow… he didn’t get it and that’s why Messi needed to wait for 2 mins on the sideline… double disadvantaged for Inter Miami basically… if the referee just gave the deserved yellow the rule can work but otherwise it’s stupid…

Every second is important in football. So, 2 minutes is already too much. We have seen many times a team scoring two goals in two minutes. And what if the team is already 1 player down with a red card and then another player is sent to the sideline for 2 minutes? This rule doesn't make any sense.

Miami is not the only team in mls. If you watched other games that week like toronto fc vs new york city fc, you would see how much time wasting there was by NYC. I would be embarrassed if I was a NYC fan tbh.

Well, it is known that in the 90s, the Americans wanted to make some very notable changes and FIFA did not let them. Football a very different sport than the ones they usually consume, 2 minutes is a long time and a clear sporting disadvantage for the team that cannot count on a player for that period of time, so I understand Messi's anger and complaints, It is something that only happens in the MLS.

If MLS wants to increase viewership in America they have to get off of AppleTV and switch to the cable/satellite model that every other sport in America uses.

this rule makes no sense, it benefits the team that commits the foul

dont tell me they did it to lock messi out during the play. 🤔 And why dont they jist follow FIFA rules?

😄🙈❤️ rare to see messi speak like that..

In the world basketball championships, playing with different rules from the rest of the world hurt them, don't do the same with soccer.

its like at playschool when you get time out for 2 mins, only they fault the wrong player instead of the one who committed the foul.

This is why MLS stays undeveloped

strange rules, very profitable and exploited by teams that play brutally. Those 2 minutes are very valuable. in 90 minutes the team can play with just 10 players at times. 10 fouls and medicals come in, there will be 10 times the team plays with only 10 players.

Dude was on the field for almost 20 years and on top of that he become the greatest of the sport itself. He know whats good and not. They should just listen to him.

Love the new rule. Way to much flopping/time wasting in soccer. They implemented this rule in the development league first, and it dramatically cut down on time wasting. I am sure the rule can be improved, but I like that they are trying to address one of the most annoying parts of soccer.

So what if two players from the same team got injured does that mean both two players will be outside for two minutes 😂😂😂😂

The fact, is that the referee thinks that all the inter Miami players will get mad and lose their focus and loss to Montreal and very unfortunately, Messi and Cremaschi end up destroying the Montreal with pass from Lionel Messi to a very ball sense, ball control freak like cremaschi scores that goal. What a game in Canada last saturday

Context matters. Great rule to deter time wasting, but the execution is definitely important. Adding extra injury time is good, but the faking and exaggerating of an injury is bad for the sport. Messi wasn't doing that here obviously, but it's common.

No disrespect to Messi, but it''s pretty ironic that it meant that Rojas took the free kick and nailed it, when Messi failed in his attempt.

Clearly, Seb forgot to reduce the gain on his mic

The rule, as it stands now, is not working. However, I do like that MLS is trying to get rid of the things we all hate in the game.

Lol not surprised for those who call it soccer instead of football.

obey the god of footbal command!!!

So the team that gets fouled gets punished by having a player removed from play for 2 minutes, giving an unfair advantage to the team that committed the foul. So you’re incentivizing players and teams to play dirty to get an advantage of having more players, and you can do this an unlimited amount of times. There are going to be a lot more injuries now.

That was an obvious foul where the defender didn’t even go for the ball yet the team that was fouled looses their star player? He might as well retire now because this will become a tactic every opponent resort to keep him out of the field.

The rule will some teams lose. They should rather change to get more foreign players rather than making unimportant rules

This is really ridiculous🧐 🧐 this rule will be changed by Messi's intervention he's the GOAT

what of the player who fouls?wont they have to go out

So what’s stopping the 11 in the A team injures all the 10 in the B team? You literally get an empty field plus one goalie. What a joke. If MLS needs to adjust some rules, make ways for international matches. Also this rule is basically implying if you want to win against Inter Miami, you can kick Messi 45 times, then you get a 11 vs 10 the whole match.

If anything, it should be the other way around, like in hockey. It makes absolutely no sense to take out the one who was taken down, especially when it's your best player (never mind best in the world); it's like taking him down TWICE. That would create a major problem in future matches if anyone wants to take Messi from a game, even for two (LONG) minutes! Very stupid! It makes MLS look even worse as a league, to come up with such lame rules...

Messi and Suarez were both right to be mad at the new rules. They’re dumb and are NOT good/effective or positive ways to fix the issues they are intended to

Interesting. So it's basically a penalty in hockey, but instead of going off the field because you did something wrong, it's because someone hurt you. MLS just put a huge target on their best players' backs. The other team will be trying to kill them just to put them out of action for at least two minutes while the other team tries to score within that time.
