Possible rule change re: use of the arms? 19:36 - Jul 12 with 364 viewsDarth_Koont

I seemed to have noticed it more and more as the tournament has gone on. But for me this World Cup has highlighted how much top-class defenders use their hands and arms to disturb the player on the ball and knock them off their stride. Seems to be that anything goes as long as it's not at head height, is an obvious hold or a shirt pull.

I know Berra was a master of this so yeah, hypocritical not to complain when he did it. But surely it's getting in the way of skill for both attackers and even defenders? You might have an arm out for balance but surely the rule otherwise should be about getting your shoulder across and not using hands and arms to disrupt the game and steal an advantage?

On a related note, any coaches know if players are trained at the whole flailing arm stuff?
