No that's not a thing. The only change possible would be FIFA extending the suspension if they deemed it necessary but that definitely shouldn't happen.
-
My takeaway: The USMNT was significantly higher quality than their World Cup knockout round opponent, even when they were down a man.

I mean, they drew with a terrible Curacao team.
-
Group F is already eliminated (Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia), and Group E will be eliminated here if Mexico wins (Germany, Ivory Coast, Ecuador, Curacao)
-
Don't forget that the ownership treats it like a small market team, refusing to play the luxury tax games that almost every other team plays successfully, instead content to hope for 9th or 10th in the league so they get a playoff game or two.
-
Biggest blowout of the knockout round so far, Norway maintained control for the whole last 4 minutes.
-
The US scored 5 minutes into that match and forced Paraguay to chase, which exposed them badly. Since then, they've been mostly able to stay ahead or level at worst and muck up games enough to get a point.
-
Cowards 1 for 4 so far in the knockout round.
-
I have high expectations for tonight's game. #6 vs #7 ranked teams (aka both higher than 5 of the 6 teams that have played so far). Hope it's as fun as it should be.
-
Paraguay have been playing for penalties since the halftime whistle. Let's see if they get rewarded for it.
-
Lesson to be learned from thr first two knockout games: Don't play like a coward hoping for PKs.
-
All the higher ranked teams winning. So round of 32 winners: France, Germany, Canada, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, , USA, Belgium, Brazil, Norway, Mexico, England, Argentina, Egypt, Switzerland, Colombia Round of 16 winners: France, Morocco, Spain, Belgium, Brazil, England, Argentina, Colombia Quarterfinals winners: France, Spain, England, Argentina Finalists: France, Argentina Winner: Argentina

Yesterday, Germany and USA sandbagged their games a bit by resting players, knowing their spot in the knockouts was secure. It appears Norway will be doing the same despite having the potential to win their group with a win. Instead, they'll rest their starters and prep for the knockouts. The winner of that group will play most likely Sweden and then a Germany-Paraguay winner. The runner up in the group will get Ivory Coast and then the Brazil-Japan winner.
-
I really only have two takeaways from last night's friendly: 1. The USMNT B team had the better chances vs Turkey and dominated possession. 2. The backup center backs are bad and should feel bad, and Turner provided almost nothing in goal.
-
Oh the incentive to go 0-0 draw was extremely high for Australia and Paraguay, and they obliged.
-
Miles Robinson, thanks for being here, go sit in the stands for the rest of this tournament.
-
B team is playing okay overall, but defensive marking has been atrocious, and the forwards aren't really doing anything dangerous.
-
US officially gets Bosnia and Herzegovina in the knockout round.
-
B team for the USMNT for tonight's friendly with Turkiye.
-
Can't imagine why Ecuadors players would be excited for a win today.
-
Ecuador is a good team that came into the World Cup on a 19 match unbeaten streak and have everything to play for today, while Germany has nothing to play for. It's not all that unlikely.
-
29 of the 30 2nd round picks were traded at least once.
