There was an incredible 64 minutes of added time during the opening four games of the 2022 World cup in Qatar. This is a result of FIFA's new rules as the look to clamp down on time wasting at the international tournament.
So far, there's been an average eight minutes of time added on per half, due to a new FIFA directive. The governing body is trying to maximise playing time and reduce time wasting, thanks to the new initiative introduced by Pierluigi Collina, the new chair of the FIFA referees committee.
England's win over Iran saw a whopping 27 minutes of time added on throughout the game, due to a head injury to Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand in the first half, and then injuries Harry Kane and Harry Maguire in the second.
