🚨 A new rule, dubbed the ‘anti-Arsenal law’, is to be introduced at the World Cup, with an England goal used as a case study for what officials are looking to cut out.
The rule will see players penalised for obstructing or preventing an opponent from playing the ball at free kicks and corners. Originating from basketball, the law essentially stops players acting as blockers.
Players can be penalised for the offence prior to the ball being kicked. Changes will come into play for the World Cup and in all major leagues from the start of July.
