The 5 second for a goal kick seems sensible, but is likely to add controversy as it is entirely up to the ref when to start the 5 seconds.

The increased use of VAR is baffling too.

The opening match resulted in 3 red cards. That is highly unusual. Hope this will not become a trend. The hydration breaks were invented to show commercials in the US. In Germany luckily not.

We're here in the thread "Live events"... What's the next game we'll watch (kind of) together?
