As the World Cup is a day away, are there any new rule changes being implemented?

Question

I have not heard of any, but this is a popular time for FIFA to institue a new rule.

Answer 1

Not that I know(~~)

Answer 2

FIFA, at their recent conference, told referees they will be on the carpet if they fail to clean up the game at the World Cup.
This happens every 4 years - expect the refs to go ape in the early rounds, then ease up once again as the tournament progresses.

As lonfg as FIFA leaves the final decision to the on-field re., the refs will ultimately do as they please. Soccer (correct name" Association Football) is about the only professional sport that relies EXCLUSIVELY on on-field personnel, with zero technology (unless you count radio communication between on-field officials, which FIFA has experimeted with of late, but will not be used in Germany.

You've been warned, and so have the players!

Answer 3

Offside rule will be different.
Before: if the offense and defense were in line at the time of initial pass, offside was called.
Now: if they are even, it won't be called.
Therefore, You can expect more goals in this tounament than previous ones.

Answer 4

more red cards for players that make rash tackles and ruin fluent play on players like ronaldinho, crist ronaldo, kaka, rooney etc.

Answer 5

NO
