The 2026 World Cup is officially rewriting the rulebook! FIFA is supercharging match pace with high-stakes shifts:

- **Time-Wasting:** Keepers face corner kicks for holding the ball over 8 seconds.
- **Restarts:** Throw-ins have a strict 5-second limit.
- **Protocol:** Only captains can approach referees.
- **Discipline:** Covering your mouth during arguments is now an instant red card.

Expect a faster, more intense game!
