Bizarre Incident in Uruguay-England Puts Spotlight on Concussions
2014-06-20 2:29:00 PM
Concussions are becoming a serious issue in soccer and something needs to be
done to protect the players, says former Major League Soccer star
Taylor Twellman.

SAO PAULO England midfielder Raheem Sterling merely was getting to where he
was going, which was wherever the soccer ball happened to be. It was Uruguay
defender Alvaro Pereira who slid toward him and accidentally placed his head
into the oncoming path of Sterlings knee. As long as there are to be team
sports, there will be unfortunate coincidences such as this.
.
It was easy to miss the impact live because ones eyes were on Sterlings pursuit
of the ball, but the stadium replay board at Arena Corinthians gave everyone an
opportunity to relive the few seconds that had just passed. There were gasps at
the sight of Sterlings knee boring into Pereiras temple.
.
These incidents can have life-altering effects, as ESPN soccer analyst Taylor
Twellman can tell you. Or, the impact can be tragic, which is why it was so
alarming to see what occurred after Pereira, and motionless on the turf for an
uncomfortably long period during Thursday afternoons World Cup game, as
teammates Diego Godin and Fernando Muslera stood over him, finally was able to
climb to his feet.
.
He insisted on playing. OK, weve seen that before. An athlete is a competitor,
a warrior, and to yield when continuing seems possible can feel like quitting
on ones teammates. What is supposed to happen then, however, what happens more
often in American sports now that the science on concussions has become more
mainstream, is the people in charge say "No." And mean it.
.
Pereira, though, he won his argument. A Uruguay official, presumably a member
of the medical staff, twirled his left and right index fingers in the universal
soccer sign language for a substitution being necessarily, and Pereira reached
to stop him, waving his finger in the officials face like Dikembe Mutombo after
rejecting a layup. Pereira was rejecting the notion he had no more soccer in
him. And he returned to the game.

FIFPro, the world players association, understandably was alarmed by what
occurred in Sao Paulo and issued a release calling on FIFA to conduct a
thorough investigation into its own competition concussion protocol, saying it
wants the ruling authority of world soccer to guarantee player safety, which
must be priority number one, for the remainder of this tournament and beyond.
