Tiktukno: summary of today's events in sports, 22.11 (Sport1)
The sensational victory of Saudi Arabia, the supremacy of Kylian Mbappe and the protest of the Iranian team.
There are already many stories surrounding this World Cup in Qatar and we are barely after three days of matches.
But it seems that one of the more fascinating stories surrounding the 2022 World Cup games, comes from the direction of the refereeing, and here it is real news.
The VAR system has already been implemented and the world of football has changed with it, but now there is a fascinating payoff, which is the generous extra time given by the referees in every game.
If until the opening whistle of the World Cup on Sunday, an extra time of 5 or 6 minutes was considered an exception, the chairman of the FIFA referees' association, Pier Luigi Collina, and his group of referees in Qatar came and proved that in this World Cup even an extra time of 12 minutes is not An unusual thing.
To Colina's credit, it can be said that he prepared the national teams for this and spoke on the eve of the opening of the World Cup games in Qatar that the referees would take care of keeping the players healthy and would not hesitate to remove players with a red card even though it is the most prestigious soccer tournament in the world and everyone wants to play in it.
The veteran Italian referee also warned that there would be long time extensions for time wasters.

So when it comes to sending offs, the national teams have done their homework and players are careful not to get red cards, but when it comes to extra time, almost every game is played for much longer than 90 minutes, with the first half also having a significant extra time.
"The whole matter of time extensions is not something we were prepared for," admits the CEO of the Israel Judges Association Yariv Teper, "We accept it just like the viewers at home.
It's not like before the World Cup he went back to the world referees' unions with a message that this is going to happen." The big question that is already being asked in the Israeli referees' union is whether the referees will have to adopt this trend after the World Cup, and that from now on teams will have to be careful of wasting time because the referees will make sure to return the minutes at the end of each half "We are at the beginning of the World Cup and we still need to examine whether this is really the trend or something that reflects the first days in Qatar," continues Teper, "in any case, as a referees union we are subject to UEFA, and in order to change a procedure and move to such significant time extensions, we will have to hear the UEFA's position on the matter".

Eitan Tabrizi, the referee, likes to see the change on the one hand, but on the other hand, he is a bit worried that the extra time won't become too long: "Sometimes I feel that minutes are added to the celebration of the goals, which is a bit extreme. We don't want it to be like basketball, where the clock is stopped for every break in the game, But right now it looks like things are going in that direction. It's good for teams to know that time wasters pay at the end of a game, but you also have to take into account that when the game is already over and there's a big goal difference, there's really no reason to give such a long overtime. Anyway, we'll study the issue During the World Cup and of course at the end there will be conclusions and there will be new instructions if that is what is decided to be done."
Among the referees in the Premier League, opinions are already divided.
"In Iran's game against England in a situation of 1:6, the referee added ten minutes. It's a hallucination. It's making fun of the work," says one of the Premier League referees, "There should be logic in the time additions."
"It will also calm the audience."

On the other hand, there are those who have already decided that this is a welcome move: "Also in the last game of Maccabi Tel Aviv against Hapoel Haifa before the World Cup break, nine minutes were added, and in the eighth minute of added time Jovanovich scored the winning goal," notes a senior referee in the Premier League, "teams do not After the World Cup, they will be able to waste time for no reason. We are going for an excellent change that will only be good for the teams and especially for the fans. It will also reassure the audiences that they will know that even if players lie down and waste time, there are those who will return a generous amount. If they used to play 55 minutes out of 90, from now on they will play 70 minutes and this is a significant step."
