After clashing heads with a Dutch player, Javier Mascherano couldn’t even remain on his feet.
Yet, Mascherano is still playing. Since I have no way to confirm that Mascherano suffered a concussion (it certainly looks like he did), I don’t want to make any blind accusations regarding FIFA’s handling of head injuries … so I’ll let others do that for me.
Speechless how #FIFA continue to turn an eye to the problem of traumatic brain injuries. #URG now #ARG are risking players’ lives. #JOKE

I fear for Mascherano right now. He has no clue what he is doing and because FIFA has no backbone to stand up and legislate it’s trouble.
