I’ll separate the answers:

1. No. There are reasons (8 of them) listed for giving cautions and the “delay” one is written “delaying the restart of play”. Since, in this case, the ball was in play the only caution would be for “Unsporting Behavior” for intentionally handling the ball.

2. Yes. And no. It depends on what the reason for the caution would be. If it would’ve been for what is called “stopping a promising attack” and advantage was applied then it would negate the caution (because then the attack is not technically “stopped”). But, if it was for a “reckless challenge” or some other reason, and then the player committed another cautionable offense then yes the player could be shown both yellows and sent off (and yes this has happened).

Fun advantage situation: If a player commits a sending off offense (say a violent tackle) and the referee applies advantage (which, to be fair, would be very rare), if the player who would be sent off plays the ball or interferes in some way then play is immediately stopped, the player is sent off and the other team gets an indirect free kick.

Thank you for the explanations!
 
USWNT break the three game skid with a 2-1 win over Germany tonight. Avoids the first ever four game losing streak.

They have Nigeria next so that should start a new winning streak.
 
I tape the Brighton match because my grandkid's had flag football playoffs. Granddaughter's team lost in the semi's but her soccer team won the championship yesterday. My grandson's team goes undefeated in the regular season, wins two playoff game but loses the championship to....the Patriots. The loss was really water off a ducks back to both of them
Turn on the BHA match and they play like *looks at MLS standings* Cincinnati. Lose 2-1 at home, AV's second goal was off a Brighton player, they had 7 shots(2 on target), 25 fouls were called(14 on BHA), and the ref wore out his yellow card handing out 9(7 of them to AV). The 6 weeks of for WC should give them something to think about.

I saw the box score of that game and wondered what the bloody hell happened in that game to warrant the blizzard of yellow.

Incidentally, is anyone else playing Fantasy Premier League? I'm doing pretty well so far, about 50 points ahead of the "pro" YouTuber who runs our league (but still not in the top 7500 in our league!)

Reports from a couple of days ago that the Fenway Sports Group has engaged Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to explore the market for the Liverspots. Considering they purchased the team for $445mil in 2010 and have been valued at almost $4.5bil might have a little to do with that.

Stanley Morgan? The former Patriots receiver?

This has me thinking now. Could a player get two straight reds in an advantage situation?

No, once a player is sent off then that's it. Anything else that happens the punishment is on whatever the league/competition organizer decides.

In a similar vain, if a player commits a yellow card offense THEN commits a red card offense then that player is just sent off and shown the red card, the yellow is essentially nullified.
 
With the Euro leagues now paused and a week until matches start were starting to get the “I have to file something” stories.

The Daily Fail was already reporting on how the USSF made a “shocking statement” by changing the logo to have rainbow stripes (it’s only on branding at their training field).

Apparently USWNT Manager Vlatko Andonovski is traveling to Qatar to assist during the World Cup and somehow this is terrible.

The USMNT is apparently bringing their own barber and an Italian Chef they met in El Salvador.
 
Playing FM 23 (not as natl team). USA made it to the QF of the World Cup. Finished 2nd in the group, and beat Netherlands 2-1, before losing to Poland 3-0. Poland went on to lose the Final to Brazil.
 
The US will not be the youngest team at the World Cup. Instead, the youngest team will be…

Ghana.

It’s always fucking Ghana.
 
Looks like NYCFC has finally completed a deal to build a stadium in Willets Point in Queens.

$780 million from the pockets of City Football Group. That’ll probably end up being a bargain in 10 years.

Is MLS fancy enough to have local blackout agreements?

No, that’s the big selling point of the Apple deal:

Apple and Major League Soccer today announced MLS Season Pass will launch February 1, 2023 — introducing an unprecedented subscription service to fans in over 100 countries and regions that features every live MLS regular-season match, the entire playoffs, and the Leagues Cup*, all with no blackouts.

I don't even have an MLS team but I want to support this kind of media deal.

Statements like this are why I shake my head at the people crapping all over this deal.

I think it’ll be similar to the deal the NHL had with NBC/OLN/Versus where ratings will go down at first but will go up as the deal moves on because they’re with a broadcaster that actually cares to promote the league.

MLS has seen that streaming is ultimately the future, especially considering that MLS viewership trends way younger.
