Are they working? Have a read - and have your say. Player walk-ons Every starting player has had an individual walk-on before each match at the Club World football news reporter Shamoon Hafez, who is at the tournament, says this has been the most notable innovation so far - because of the time it midfielder Romeo Lavia is a said: "I think it's something special and new for us. I enjoyed it. Why not bring it to the Premier League?"It's a bit of a showbiz thing, isn't it? I quite like it. The only difference is [if we did it in the Premier League], we might get a bit cold because once you're out there, you have to wait for maybe the other players."The innovation has drawn criticism from supporters as it has added extra time to the pre-match formalities, and a number of matches at the Club World Cup have kicked off a few minutes later than scheduled. Ref cam 'Ref cam' shows live images from referees' bodycams before a game, in the tunnel, during the warm-up and at the coin rugby union, no live images are shown during the game and - although goals and moments of skill will be shown with a delay - anything controversial or in bad taste, such as a player suffering a nasty injury, will not will be available to the video assistant referee (VAR), but that is not the purpose of the footage of the challenge that led to Manchester City defender Rico Lewis being sent off during their opening match with Wydad Casablanca was broadcast - but the red card had already been shown. Former international referee Pierluigi Collina says the technology is mainly an entertainment it will do, Fifa believes, is show the game from a unique vantage point and "enhance the storytelling". Eight-second rule for goalkeepers "This is big drama," said DAZN co-commentator Michael Brown as Al Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bounou became the second goalkeeper to concede a corner by failing to release the ball within eight happened in the 96th minute of the Saudi Arabian club's 1-1 draw with Spanish giants Real Madrid - and could have proved Club World Cup is among the summer tournaments at which the new eight-second rule is being applied to goalkeepers for the first per the International Football Association Board (Ifab) rules: "A corner kick is awarded if a goalkeeper, inside their penalty area, controls the ball with their hand(s)/arm(s) for more than eight seconds before releasing it."The referee will decide when the goalkeeper has control of the ball and the eight seconds begin and will visually count down the last five seconds with a raised hand."Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams became the first to fall foul of the rule when he was penalised in the final 10 minutes of his side's 1-0 win over against Ulsan rule is also in place for the Under-21s European Championship - but no-one has been punished as yet. VAR replays shown in stadium As in previous Fifa tournaments, the on-pitch referee will communicate VAR decisions - and the reasons for them - to supporters in the the first time, fans at the match will be able to see the replays the officials are being there will still be no broadcast of the discussions in the VAR urged patience for those who cannot understand why football is not yet implementing something commonplace in rugby, cricket and all major American sports."I cannot tell you if something more might be added in the future," he said. "But we need to do it when we are sure this will not affect the decision-making process." Quicker offside decisions Officials are using an accelerated semi-automated offside technology that will tell them to stop the game immediately if a player who is more than 10cm offside touches the is aimed at reducing needless referees will receive the notification instantly rather than having to wait for the technology to check positions and distances - as is the case with semi-automated offside (SAO) systems used in most major was introduced into the Premier League on 12 introduction of the enhanced SAO comes after Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi suffered a serious abdominal injury against Leicester Nigerian crashed into the post after play was allowed to continue despite a player being in an offside position.

Man City star disagrees with Chelsea rival and makes Club World Cup demand
Manchester City star Nathan Ake and Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia have given their thoughts on the individual pre-match walkouts that FIFA have introduced for the Club World Cup Manchester City's Nathan Ake has disagreed with Chelsea star Romeo Lavia over the Club World Cup's use of individual pre-match walkouts. FIFA's newly revamped tournament has made player introductions a big thing, with each one taking it in turns to walk out in front of the crowd ahead of games. And it seems as though the walkouts have received a mixed reaction from the players themselves, with Ake and Lavia delivering different verdicts on the concept when asked if the Premier League should embrace it. "I'm not sure," Ake said after City beat Moroccan side Wydad AC 2-0 in their Club World Cup opener. "To be honest, the Premier League, keep it how it is and what we do now. I think, keep it as it is." However, Lavia believes the walkouts were "something special" and has suggested the Premier League should introduce something similar. "It's something special and new for us," the Chelsea midfielder said. "It's a first for us. I enjoyed it. Why not bring it to the Premier League? I mean, it's a bit of a showbiz thing, isn't it? I quite like it. The only difference is if we did it in the Premier League, we might get a bit cold! "Because once you're out there, you have to wait for maybe the other players. But apart from that, it was good. I guess we always learn new things from international tournaments and that's what makes it special. "Even before arriving here, we understood how big this competition was. It's great to see. We've watched some of the other Club World Cup games on TV as well. We're happy to be here. "They are all great games and at a good level. And I think every team has got different qualities because they're coming from a different environment. So it's nice to watch because you don't get to see all these teams often." Chelsea also won their tournament opener, beating LAFC 2-0 in Atlanta, and they are now set to take on Flamengo in Philadelphia on Friday. And Blues boss Enzo Maresca is expecting Flamengo to provide a tough test. "They are a very good team, they play nice football and they have many good players," Maresca said. "Their manager is a former player, who played for many years in Europe, so I know him. They are well organised and, like any Brazilian team, full of very good players."
