New rules in the world cup

[Sven Vath]

If you need the physio on for a foul without a yellow card, you're  off for 1 minute. It seems a success to me and I hope the comes into league 1.

We already have that but the current time is 30 seconds.  I knew we had that rule, but hadn’t realised players had to wait so long before returning - I often wondered why the ref seemed to take ages to wave players back on, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one.

I mentioned it elsewhere, but what do you make of the speeding up of throws and corners? It does give more of a fluid game, cuts out actual time wasting, but maybe knackering the players.

Currently that effect is partly eased by the drinks break, but what I saw in the Canada Bosnia game was stupid long, and made that way for ads. Next up the US getting the quarter time breaks of 5 or 10 mins for ads. That would be terrible.

I really cannot see why we need drinks breaks for night games where the temperatures are cooler.
No doubt it is all part of FIFA's plans to make games 4 quarters to suit the yanks.

I guess it is to ensure all teams are treated the same..
