England were caught out by a rarely-seen new FIFA rule at the World Cup on Saturday, minutes into their clash with Panama.
The Three Lions saw one of their throw-ins overturned for time-wasting in the opening stages of the Group L game.
Bukayo Saka had picked up the ball to take the throw-in, but as Jarrell Quansah came over to take it instead, things took too long.
Saka rolled the ball to Quansah to let him throw it in, however, as he did that, the referee blew his whistle.
The official overturned the throw-in, awarding it to Panama instead of England, enforcing a new FIFA rule.
At the 2026 World Cup, the time-wasting rule was brought in as one of many rule changes for the tournament.
Players now have a five-second limit to take one, with the count not starting until the player picks up the ball.
The referee has the authority to then decide whether they think the player is deliberately halting play.
And if they think so, the set piece is awarded to the opposition, as England found out against Panama.
The same rule has been put in place for goal-kicks by FIFA too.
Missed a trick
Saka and Quansah were caught out by the rule on Saturday night – and they will wish they’d have copied Andy Robertson.
The Scotland captain was praised by fans earlier in the tournament, as Robertson found a cheeky way to avoid being penalised.
In Scotland’s first World Cup game in 28 years against Haiti, the left-back didn’t pick up the ball to allow himself extra time.
As he lined up for the throw-in, he signalled for his teammates to get into position before getting the ball in his hands.
That meant the referee couldn’t start the five-second countdown, avoiding the decision going the other way.
Patience rewarded
England’s patience with their throw-ins saw them fall victim to the rules, but their patience with goals was rewarded.
After an hour against Panama, they were set to finish second in Group L as the score remained 0-0.
However, a volley from Jude Bellingham gave Thomas Tuchel’s side a much-celebrated lead in New Jersey.
And then just five minutes after that, Harry Kane became England’s all-time World Cup top goalscorer with his third of the tournament.
Those goals led the Three Lions to a crucial 2-0 win and it meant they booked a spot in the last 32 as group winners.
