The rule targets racist incidents and verbal abuse;<\/li>\n<li><strong>The five-second countdown. <\/strong>If a player or goalkeeper takes too long on a goal kick, the referee can begin a visible five-second countdown using their hand. If the ball is not played in time, the opposition is awarded a corner. The same rule applies to throw-ins;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get off the pitch. <\/strong>Any substituted player has only 10 seconds to leave the field. If they dawdle, the incoming substitute must wait until the next stoppage \u2014 at least a minute later \u2014 before entering. That leaves the team temporarily a man short. No more slow-walking to the tunnel;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Injured? Off you go.<\/strong> The same logic applies to injured players receiving treatment on the pitch \u2014 they must leave and can return only after at least one minute of play has resumed. Goalkeepers are exempt;<\/li>\n<li><strong>No theatrics. <\/strong>Players are banned from leaving the pitch in protest of a referee's decision \u2014 and those who do can be shown a straight red. Team officials who encourage players to walk off in protest risk being sent to the stands. A direct response to scenes at the recent Africa Cup of Nations final;<\/li>\n<li><strong>More VAR. <\/strong>Referees will now use VAR to review decisions for the first time in a number of new situations: second yellow cards, cases of mistaken identity, offensive fouls preceding freekicks or corners, and incorrectly awarded corners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u26bd It\u2019s World Cup time.
