My logic here is centered entirely on maximizing the probability of actually seeing a goal scored.

If the score remains tied at the end of regulation, we would head into a ten-minute overtime period played with ten players per side. Should the deadlock persist, a second ten-minute overtime would follow, this time with teams reduced to nine players each. If we still haven't found a winner after that second stretch, we’d move into a final, third ten-minute overtime played with only eight players on the pitch. Of course, if the score is still dead even after three extra periods, we’d go straight to a penalty shootout just like we do now.
The number of substitutions would remain capped at five, regardless of any lingering COVID-19 protocols.

Correction:

It wasn't Michelle Mulligan, it was Milligen Morgan.

By the way, I have an external one too, but that’s irrelevant—they call that a skin fold. It doesn't hurt, doesn't itch, and isn't worth my time. The internal ones, however, are a real mess and can escalate into much worse stages if you aren't careful. You really need to get them handled so you don't end up constantly relying on Michelle Mulligan (which is unpleasant enough, especially since even those cases can recur, albeit less frequently).

Here is my experience, in case anyone is interested. Internal, second degree, specifically at positions 1, 5, and 9. I had surgery via THD seven months ago, but the 5 and 9 have returned—the latter being slightly smaller. The issue stems from the irreversible weakening of the vein wall tissue; whether the etiology is genetic, behavioral, or a combination of both is essentially irrelevant. My proctologist tells me quite bluntly that every single method carries a risk of recurrence, and if one were truly perfect, no other options would even need to exist (at least for my situation), which honestly seems like a fair assessment.

Right now, I’m focusing on dietary management combined with supplements—essentially trying to find a solution through lifestyle. I’m not even considering LHP; I might look into rubber band ligation instead, since the results will likely be temporary anyway, and ligation is much easier and can be done as an outpatient procedure.

That’s my take on it. Of course, someone else could have a completely different experience.
