World Cup referees are going to get some extra help

Up to 4 minutes or more will be lost, but with a good cause: at the beginning of the month the world football organization has decided that referees from the World Cup in Russia this summer for the first time are going to get some additional help from media. It has been passed exactly one year (from March 2017) about solving the issue of video assistant referees whether should be present in a major football event like this one and now it became official: this Friday in Bogota, Colombia the FIFA council approved that the actual judge on the pitch will have some extra help 'from above'. After laws of the game are re-written, video reviews are going to monitor controversial moments in four cases: giving penalties, showing direct red cards (NOT on second yellow), replace identities and whether the ball has crossed the goal line or not.
