Summary
IFAB just unveiled major 2026 World Cup rule changes designed to clean up football’s messiest moments: VAR now can intervene before kicks are taken, sparking “anti-Arsenal” debate; players covering mouths during confrontations face automatic red cards; time-wasting crackdowns include mandatory five-second countdowns for restarts and strict 10-second exit rules for subs—no more tactical timeouts or clock games.
