New FIFA World Cup injury time rule explained as Japan stun Germany late on

Each game of the World Cup has so far eclipsed 100 minutes after FIFA imposed new stoppage time rules for the tournament.

England both scored and conceded after the 90th minute against Iran whilst Netherlands capped off their own 2-0 victory against Senegal with a goal sealing the win in stoppage time too.

It has followed a trend in the opening days though with every game so far having at least 10 minutes extra played after the allotted 90. This is something fans should get used to, especially after former referee Pierluigi Collina explained that officials were going to be adding more time consistently.
