Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4488187, member: 405"] Until the last year, they were limited to 3 subs per 90 minutes. Now, it's become 5 because of compressed schedules and seasons thrown all out of whack due to COVID and a World Cup in the middle of the season. In a sense, soccer is like boxing. Players wear down. Goals are kind of like knock downs in a fight. A disproportionate number of goals are scored at the end of each half, as players tire physically, and they lose their concentration on defense for small moments that can change the whole game.
