(there is guaranteed to be three minutes in each half for the hydration breaks.)
Throw-in countdown (five seconds): If a player deliberately delays the restart of play, the throw can be given to the opposition.
Goal-kick countdown (five seconds): Also applies to deliberate attempts to run down the clock and can result in a corner being awarded.
Time-limited substitutions (10 seconds): Substituted players have 10 seconds to leave the field at the nearest point. If they fail to do so, the substitute cannot enter the field for at least one minute and the team must continue with 10 players.
Off-field treatment (one minute): Players who are treated by the physio must stay off the field for 60 seconds. There are some exceptions, including for goalkeepers, injuries and if the opponent is booked or sent off.
Players covering their mouths: Any player covering their mouth in a confrontational situation with an opponent may be sanctioned with a red card.
As well as Collina's request for the change to the protocol on corners, there are also a couple of other tweaks to VAR.
Corners can be checked: If VAR can make sure that a corner has been correctly awarded, but this must be done quickly and before the restart. Does not apply to wrongly awarded goal-kicks.
Second yellows can be reviewed: Players sent off for two cautions can have the second booking checked - but there will be no reviews for potential second yellows
Players at the 2026 World Cup will be stopped from going to the technical area to talk to coaches when goalkeepers are injured, Fifa referees' chief Pierluigi Collina has revealed.
The International Football Association Board (Ifab) has also approved a request to change video assistant referee (VAR) protocol to allow reviews of attacking fouls that happen before the ball is in play.

Collina asked for protocol to be updated so the VAR could step in if a foul occurred before the ball was in play.
The Ifab has now accepted the request, and says that any foul before the ball is in play that has a direct impact can be reviewed.
This will apply to a goal, penalty kick or disciplinary sanction which happens on a corner or free-kick
The measure will be applied for the World Cup and reassessed after the tournament

should make a big difference to number of goals scored from corners and free kicks
No more long throw in then cant see players leaving pitch in 10 seconds.
think will need longer hydration breaks in some games if there's rules elsewhere to speed up the game
How about stop waterihg the pitch ball is stopping dead so it dont go out of play
I wonder how long they will give them to take a corner!!!
biggesr bug bear for me watching games in the ground ,is the game basicaly stops for a tea break at every attacking corner,throw in,free kick
Spot on 1tp,and looks like that's not being altered
Bring opposite side full back across to take
throw in, make sure defensive mid who can't head ball
isn't on a card and is last man, ready for tactical foul...
Select any ball not being offered by ball boy

Less time for throw-ins, substitutions, injury leaves more time for hydration breaks (oops, I meant TV advertising breaks).
This has all the hallmarks of being the biggest **** up in world sport bar none. Its going to be farcical. Hardly giving the players ANY time to digest it all. Any chance of stopping the clock for injuries and var decisions? Seeing the clock tick on for 4 minutes is laughable.
Not going to be many arguments there is there? Oh, it was 9.5 seconds not 10 seconds, etc etc...
would never but BORO up there as dark arts time wasters quite the opposite and certainly not the keeper sol Bryn in comparison to others ,majority at the riverside but SOL got done twice for 8 second rule last eaon,cant remember many others getting pulled , is it a corner given ?
The 9.5/10 thing is sorted by 5 second countdown
by ref, same as goal kicks.
Thing is for throw ins if no player has ball he can't begin count down,
or can he,...

Beats me why football doesn't use an independent stop/start clock like American football. Everyone then knows exactly where they stand time-wise.
Maybe because then it would start to feel like all those horrible yank 'clock sports' they have over there instead of footy 
For players who go down holding their face after the slightest of contact I'd like to see a pink tutu introduced
No more delayed flag?

Automatic red card for high-fiving a teammate who concedes a corner kick.
Not a law change but going head to head instead of goal difference means more dead games , hardly an improvement , turkey and haiti out and usa group winners .
Almiron already had a yellow for diving in the first game and previous friendly a yellow for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Guys a liability or very stupid
