Has World Cup signalled end of chaos at corners? The 2022 FIFA World Cup has shed light on a persistent problem in professional football: the chaos that erupts during corner kicks.
The spectacle of players wrestling and holding each other in the six yard box, leading to a record number of goals scored from set pieces, is all too familiar to fans of the Premier League.
This issue has been addressed by Pierluigi Collina, Fifa's head of referees, who has emphasized that there will be zero tolerance for tactics designed to gain an unfair advantage.
