Under an ongoing investigation that has been postponed to encourage more data to be obtained, clubs in England are currently permitted to make two permanent concussion substitutes. The Premier League has written to the IFAB, asking for the introduction of a temporary concussion subpoena, with 18 of the 20 clubs in favour. However, IFAB has declined to participate in the Premier League, but they do agree that the possibility of starting trials for temporary concussion subs will remain under 'constant investigation.'

Argentina and France met in one of the all-time great World Cup finals, with all of their peers competing to perform a masterpiece at the Lusail Stadium. For those 16 nations, the tournament has been off for a while. Those clubs that made it to the group stage returned home less than two weeks after playing only three matches. It was no surprise for some teams: they were never supposed to make the knockout rounds. For those people, it would have been a difficult pill to swallow.

On their return to the team hotel on Tuesday, the USMNT were welcomed with a hero's welcome, as a group of supporters, including Christian Pulisic, cheered them on as they walked in. Pulisic was forced to leave the game at halftime after colliding with Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand shortly after scoring the game's most important goal and being diagnosed with a pelvic contusion later in the game. However, the matchwinner was on hand to celebrate with his teammates following their vital 1-0 victory over Iran, when he giddily captured the team's entrance on his phone and hugged Tim Weah.

After the United States' 1-0 victory over Iran on Tuesday, Alexi Lalas gushed with praise for Christian Pulisic, the winger's decisive strike came at a steep price to his body. After a tense cross from Sergino Dest, Pulisic put the USMNT up in the 38th minute, but the team's celebrations of the close-range finish were muted as he collided with Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand on the play right after connecting with the ball. Pulisic continued for the remainder of the first half after sitting down for several minutes, but was eventually cut off at halftime due to what FOX Sports later identified as an abdominal injury.

Saudi Arabia's players have paid tribute to their teammate Yasser Al-Shahrani by wearing his No 13 shirt before their match against Poland, just days after he underwent emergency facial surgery. Al-Shahrani underwent surgery after a sickening collision with his own goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais in Saudi Arabia's historic 2-1 victory over Argentina earlier this week. In a stoppage time, Al-Shahrani collapsed to the ground after colliding with Al-Owais, and was carried off the pitch on a stretcher. According to reports, the defender suffered from a fractured jaw, broken facial bones, and internal bleeding.

During Saudi Arabia's thrilling World Cup match against Argentina, keeper Mohammed Alowais and teammate Yasser Al-Shahrani were involved in a sickening accident.

During the first two games of the Qatar tournament, more than an hour was added (left) on average. This phenomenon has arisen due to FIFA rules aimed at improving playing time and avoiding time wasting, as described by France Info. Pierluigi Collina (inset), the current chairman of the FIFA referees committee, had argued before the game that the ruling body is aiming for more ball-in-play time. We want to stop matches at 42, 43, 44 minutes from the playing time,' he said. So the times of substitutions, penalties, holidays, medical care, or, obviously VAR, will have to be compensated'.

Although most of the audience outside the stadium spent the majority of the demolition of Iran sitting down, England drilling six goals past the opposition in an opening World Cup match. It all seemed rather boring in comparison to the scenes in BoxParks across London, where beer is regularly thrown in the air after an England goal. The 40,000-capacity bowl in Al Biddda Park was nowhere near full and lacking in atmosphere. It didn't help that there were several security checks to get into the park itself.

After allowing goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand to continue playing after a sickening match, Jermaine Jenas has described the Iranian medical staff as "out of order." "It's out of order,' the medical team's job to make the right call and dismiss him,' he said. He shouldn't even be on the field now. I think it's a joke.

The two Iranian players went to blows trying to defend a Harry Kane cross in the eighth minute of the game, resulting in a ten-minute delay. Bizarrely, both players continued to play before Beiranvand collapsed and had to be substituted in the 18th minute. Around 30 seconds before he had to come back, it was called off.

In total, England's World Cup opener against Iran saw an incredible 27 minutes of stoppage time in both halves, which meant the game lasted 117 minutes. In a spectacular first half show thanks to teenage stars Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, before Raheem Sterling added a third. However, after Iran's goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand spent a lengthy stretch of play down on the ground, the referee delivered 14 minutes of added time, although there was also a VAR delay early on.

CHRIS SUTTON: Alireza Beiranvand, the Iranian goalkeeper, has a Hollywood-worthy story. According to the tale, he helped his family by working as a shepherd, a dishwasher, a pizza restaurant server, and a street cleaner, even going homeless in Tehran for a time. As a child, Beiranvand would also play Dal Paran, where he and his companions would see who had the longest distance. You will see that aided him in later life. Beiranvand, 30, is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest throw in football. During a 2018 World Cup qualifier against South Korea, he threw the ball from his own box to the final third, a distance of 61 meters and 26 meters (66.7 yards).
