The truth is that some of the refereeing regulations in place at this World Cup are having a positive impact. That is, that it does not take long for players to be substituted as their team will then play with a player less for a minute, while throw-ins and free-kicks are taken within five seconds, otherwise possession goes to the opposing team.
What is not liked is the long break in the middle of the halves to cool down, although the temperatures are high. It is three minutes long, a total of six minutes that break the rhythm. And already some players are discussing it strongly…
