Strangers in the wall

One of major changes in the rules of the game, which will come into force in June this year, touches the wall during free kicks. Now players of the attacking team are prohibited from standing in it. This will make life easier not only for goalkeepers, defenders and referees. The hustle and bustle of time will stop, the game will become more spectacular. But not all new rules are good for football.

Referee's whistle

Many rules in football developed very early. The referee's whistle was first blown on a football field in 1878. Before this, referees controlled the game primarily with their voices and hands. But on July 10, 1878, one of the matches in London was judged by a policeman. When a fight broke out on the field, he immediately blew his whistle. The fight stopped. Since then, the whistle has become an indispensable attribute of a football referee.

Video replays as evidence

But the rule was introduced only recently, in 2012. The FIFA Executive Committee, after much deliberation, authorized the use of these technical means. On last championship world in Russia, video replays were used to check three controversial situations: when it came to whether there was a goal or not (including whether it was scored from offside), when a penalty was awarded, and when a player was sent off.

Vanishing Spray

This spray was first used by Brazilians in 2001. There, in Brazil, the disappearing spray was used at the 2014 World Cup. With its help, the referees draw a line to set the wall and mark the location of the violation when taking a penalty kick. The referee no longer needs to push the wall away again and again, as before. The spray contains mainly water and butane. The latter disappears quite quickly.

No offside

There are also more radical proposals. Thus, this is not the first time that football officials have advocated the abolition of the “offside” rule: they say that matches will become more spectacular. In 2010, the then FIFA president even spoke out for the abolition of offside. But it all ended only with the partial abolition of the so-called passive offside rule in 2013.

Gate sizes

The dimensions of a football goal, according to the rules, are 7.32 m wide and 2.44 m high. Why such strange numbers? These are actually English measurements: 8 yards x 8 feet, which is a 3:1 ratio. This was determined back in the 19th century. Nevertheless, proposals are constantly made to increase the goal: they say that then they will score more and the game will become more interesting. But does this depend on the size of the gate?

Timeouts

Another suggestion is to divide the match into four quarters to give coaches more opportunities to give instructions to players. And about ten years ago there was a discussion about whether to introduce timeouts, as is customary, for example, in basketball - 2 minutes per time and team. But in the end this was abandoned. Time-outs are allowed only in futsal: 1 minute in each half.

Post-match shootout

The famous former striker Marco van Basten proposed replacing post-match penalties with shootouts. Players start moving from a distance of 25 meters from the goal, go one-on-one with the goalkeeper and must shoot within 8 seconds. The penalty kicks will only be scored during the game. But the post-match penalties at the 2018 World Cup showed that it was a pity to part with such a fascinating tradition.

Removal from the field for 10 minutes

FIFA is currently discussing the question of whether to introduce a temporary (for example, 10 minutes) removal of players from the field for rough play - in the event that a foul or a series of fouls does not lead to a red or even yellow card, but still requires a more serious punishment than a verbal warning. It is even possible to introduce orange cards in this case - in addition to red and yellow.

"Golden Goal"

From 1993 to 2004, the winner of the playoff matches was determined by the “golden goal”. If a team scored a goal in extra time, the game was immediately stopped. The golden goal rule allowed Germany to become European champions in 1996. The decisive goal against the Czech national team was scored by Oliver Bierhoff (pictured). In 1998, at the World Cup, the “golden goal” brought victory to the French in a match with Paraguay.

Bikini for women's football

In 2011, FIFA President Sepp Blatter proposed, following the example of beach volleyball, to dress female football players in new uniform: Tight-fitting tank tops and tight panties. Then, they say, more people will go to women’s matches. US team captain Julie Foudy said: “We will wear this uniform only if Blatter conducts his press conferences in swimming trunks!” The idea was abandoned.

The 2017 European Football Championship starts on July 16 next year in the Netherlands. 12 leading teams of the Old World will take part in the tournament. All teams are divided into three groups, and subsequently the best teams in the group stage will meet each other in the playoffs.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Weyrother with his plans moved to Kutuzov's apartment, where a military council was appointed. All the commanders of the columns were requested to see the commander-in-chief, and, with the exception of Prince Bagration, who refused to come, everyone appeared at the appointed hour. Weyrother, who was the overall manager of the proposed battle, presented with his liveliness and haste a sharp contrast with the dissatisfied and sleepy Kutuzov, who reluctantly played the role of chairman and leader of the military council. Weyrother obviously felt himself at the head of a movement that had become unstoppable. He was like a harnessed horse running away downhill with its cart. Whether he was driving or being driven, he did not know; but he rushed at all possible speed, no longer having time to discuss what this movement would lead to. Weyrother that evening was twice for personal inspection in the enemy chain and twice with the sovereigns, Russian and Austrian, for a report and explanations, and in his office, where he dictated the German disposition. He, exhausted, now came to Kutuzov. He was apparently so busy that he forgot to even be respectful to the commander-in-chief: he interrupted him, spoke quickly, unclearly, without looking into the face of his interlocutor, without answering the questions asked of him, was stained with dirt and looked pitiful, exhausted, confused and at the same time arrogant and proud. Kutuzov occupied a small noble castle near Ostralitsy. In the large living room, which became the office of the commander-in-chief, gathered: Kutuzov himself, Weyrother and members of the military council. They were drinking tea. They were only waiting for Prince Bagration to begin the military council. At 8 o'clock Bagration's orderly arrived with the news that the prince could not be there. Prince Andrei came to report this to the commander-in-chief and, taking advantage of the permission previously given to him by Kutuzov to be present at the council, remained in the room. “Since Prince Bagration will not be there, we can begin,” said Weyrother, hastily getting up from his place and approaching the table on which a huge map of the surrounding area of ​​Brünn was laid out. Kutuzov, in an unbuttoned uniform, from which, as if freed, his fat neck floated out onto the collar, sat in a Voltaire chair, placing his plump old hands symmetrically on the armrests, and was almost asleep. At the sound of Weyrother's voice, he forced his only eye open. “Yes, yes, please, otherwise it’s too late,” he said and, nodding his head, lowered it and closed his eyes again. If at first the members of the council thought that Kutuzov was pretending to be asleep, then the sounds that he made with his nose during the subsequent reading proved that at that moment for the commander-in-chief it was about much more important than the desire to show his contempt for the disposition or for anything else. be that as it may: for him it was about the irrepressible satisfaction of a human need - sleep. He was really asleep. Weyrother, with the movement of a man too busy to waste even one minute of time, looked at Kutuzov and, making sure that he was sleeping, took the paper and in a loud, monotonous tone began to read the disposition of the future battle under the title, which he also read: "Disposition to attack the enemy position behind Kobelnitsa and Sokolnitsa, November 20, 1805." The disposition was very complex and difficult. The original disposition stated: Da der Feind mit seinerien linken Fluegel an die mit Wald bedeckten Berge lehnt und sich mit seinerien rechten Fluegel laengs Kobeinitz und Sokolienitz hinter die dort befindIichen Teiche zieht, wir im Gegentheil mit unserem linken Fluegel seinen rechten sehr debordiren, so ist es vortheilhaft letzteren Fluegel des Feindes zu attakiren, besondere wenn wir die Doerfer Sokolienitz und Kobelienitz im Besitze haben, wodurch wir dem Feind zugleich in die Flanke fallen und ihn auf der Flaeche zwischen Schlapanitz und dem Thuerassa Walde verfolgen koennen, indem wir dem Defileen von Schlapanitz und Bellowitz ichen, welche die feindliche Front decken. Zu dieserien Endzwecke ist es noethig... Die erste Kolonne Marieschirt... die zweite Kolonne Marieschirt... die dritte Kolonne Marieschirt... [Since the enemy rests his left wing on the forest-covered mountains, and with his right wing he stretches along Kobelnitsa and Sokolnitsa behind the ponds located there, and we On the contrary, if our left wing surpasses his right wing, then it is advantageous for us to attack this last enemy wing, especially if we occupy the villages of Sokolnits and Kobelnits, being given the opportunity to attack the enemy’s flank and pursue him in the plain between Shlapanits and the Tyuras forest, avoiding with those defiles between Shlapanitz and Belowitz, which covered the enemy front. For this purpose it is necessary... The first column marches... the second column marches... the third column marches...], etc., Weyrother read. The generals seemed reluctant to listen to the difficult disposition. The blond, tall General Buxhoeveden stood with his back against the wall, and, fixing his eyes on the burning candle, it seemed that he was not listening and did not even want to be thought that he was listening. Directly opposite Weyrother, fixing his sparkling open eyes on him, in a militant pose, resting his hands with his elbows outstretched on his knees, sat the ruddy Miloradovich with his mustache and shoulders raised. He remained stubbornly silent, looking into Weyrother’s face, and only took his eyes off him when the Austrian chief of staff fell silent. At this time, Miloradovich looked significantly back at the other generals. But from the meaning of this significant glance it was impossible to understand whether he agreed or disagreed, was pleased or dissatisfied with the disposition. Count Langeron sat closest to Weyrother and looked at his thin fingers, quickly turning over the corners of a golden snuff-box with a portrait. In the middle of one of the longest periods, he stopped the rotating movement of the snuffbox, raised his head and, with an unpleasant politeness at the very ends of his thin lips, interrupted Weyrother and wanted to say something; but the Austrian general, without interrupting his reading, frowned angrily and waved his elbows, as if saying: later, then you will tell me your thoughts, now if you please look at the map and listen. Langeron raised his eyes upward with an expression of bewilderment, looked back at Miloradovich, as if looking for an explanation, but, meeting Miloradovich’s significant, meaningless gaze, sadly lowered his eyes and again began to twirl the snuffbox.
