The great performance of Emiliano Martinez on penalty kicks against Netherlands and also in front of France already Qatar World Cup 2022drew the attention of IFABwhich last Friday (24th), imposed new rules for goalkeepers, who from next season will not be able to do any kind of “catimba” under the goalposts in penalty shootouts.
With this, the archers will not be able to do any kind of provocation, such as delaying charges, or moving from one side to the other, in order to take the concentration of the scouts.
Another change that will be implemented is the addition of the goal celebration time in the match’s injury time. According to the entity, most of the minutes lost with the ball rolling come from the players’ party when they score.
As of July 1st, changes to the IFAB rules prevent goalkeepers from provoking on penalties.

Changes implemented by the IFAB aim to increase the dynamism of the game
As a way of increasing the dynamism of the game, as well as punishing players who try to take advantage of taunts to take psychological advantage, the International Football promotes changes that will come into effect from July 1st.
Other changes will still be evaluated and may come into force, such as a new change in the offside rule, allowing the attacker to stay with his body in front of the defender, but with the last part aligned with the opposing defender.
In addition to this, a decrease in game time and an increase in the amount of time are being studied and were discussed in other meetings.
