Hey,
Situation (in soccer):
A player got a yellow card in the previous match, and gets a yellow card in the current match.
This means he cannot play the next match.
A message appears:
Misses next match.
Why not:
Is missing the next match. :?:
He does not "miss" the next match, he "is missing" - this is a different case.
I can miss someone.
I can also say, "I have been missing him for weeks".
Cheers!
