00:00FIFA's new anti-time-wasting rules at the World Cup have proved an overwhelming hit, according to Chief Refereeing Officer
00:07Pierluigi Colina on Tuesday.
00:09The new regulations have successfully transformed the pace of play by introducing strict limits, including a five-second restriction on
00:17goal kicks and throw-ins.
00:19A strict 10-second exit rule requires substituted players to leave the field quickly, with only one player failing to
00:27meet the deadline across 72 group stage matches.
00:30If a substituted player fails to leave within 10 seconds, their replacement can only enter the pitch at the first
00:36stoppage after one full minute has elapsed from the restart.
00:40The five-second rule was breached 15 times in total during the tournament, resulting in four corners awarded to opponents
00:48for goal kick delays and 11 possession reversals for slow throw-ins.
00:53Injured players requiring medical treatment must now stay off the pitch for one minute after the restart, a measure Colina
01:00noted has dramatically decreased the number of injuries.
01:03General behavior on the pitch has remained highly disciplined, resulting in only two cautions for players and two for coaches
01:10regarding dissent over refereeing decisions.
01:14Six of the ten red cards issued so far were for denying obvious goal-scoring opportunities, while only one was
01:21given for covering the mouth during a confrontation.
01:24Paraguay's Miguel Almiron became the first player sent off for covering his mouth during an on-field confrontation, resulting in
01:32a one-game suspension.
01:34Colina clarified a controversial VAR decision that ruled out Jonathan Tah's extra-time goal for Germany, confirming Valdemar Anton deliberately
01:43moved to obstruct Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill.
01:47Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann was booked for his passionate dugout protests, though Colina emphasized that coaches and players were
01:56fully informed beforehand that obstructing a goalkeeper would be punished.
