GENEVA -- FIFA has blocked rock concerts from being staged in World Cup stadiums in the weeks before the 2018 tournament kicks off in Russia.FIFA passed a rule to ensure that the field of play is of the highest quality, it shall not be used for a non-football event for two months before a stadiums first match.In updated 2018 World Cup regulations published Monday, FIFA requires explicit prior approval for exemptions.FIFA has also introduced disciplinary records -- a points system adding up red and yellow cards -- as a potential tiebreaker in the group stage when teams have the same amount of points in the group stage.FIFA said Monday the stricter turf rule was because of overuse of stadiums and training sites in Brazil ahead of the 2014 World Cup. But it also follows issues at the European Championship in France in June.A concert by rock band AC/DC one month before the tournament in Marseille was cited by France coach Didier Deschamps as a problem.Deschamps called the Stade Velodrome turf a disaster after beating Albania 2-0. The turf had been re-laid after the concert on a tight schedule for Euro 2016 and struggled to take root in heavy rain.Its a disaster, but thats not surprising, Deschamps said of a field where France would later beat Germany in the semifinals. If you have an AC/DC concert a month before the European Championships -- theyre changing the pitch, re-laying the turf.FIFA can also veto matches in the 12 Russian stadiums, plus training camp and pre-match practice field sites, for one month before they are needed during the tournament.The new regulations for the June 14-July 15 tournament updates a document produced for the qualifying stages. FIFA now follows UEFA in having fair play as a final group-stage tiebreaker before going to the drawing of lots.Unlike UEFA, FIFA has retained goal difference as the first way to separate teams that are level on points. UEFA uses head-to-head record as the first tiebreaker stage in European Championship and Champions League groups.In one minor addition to 2014 World Cup rules, FIFA now requires teams to bring spare goalkeeper kits with no names or numbers printed, for rare situations where an outfield player has to go into goal.That happened to UEFA in a Champions League playoff in August 2014 when the Ludogorets Razgrad goalkeeper was sent off in extra time against Steaua Bucharest.In a memorable shootout, Ludogorets defender Cosmin Moti both scored his penalty and saved two from Steaua players to help his team advance -- but he did it wearing the shirt of a substitute goalkeeper with a name and number that was not his own.The new rules also no longer state that the FIFA president will present the World Cup trophy to the winning captain.However, FIFA protocol has long required the president and host nation head of state to jointly present the trophy. It is expected that Gianni Infantino and Vladimir Putin will do those duties at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. Jace Sternberger Youth Jersey .

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Bill Belichick doesnt need any extra incentive heading into this weeks home opener against division rival Miami.He made it clear that nothing -- not even having to share the Patriots facilities with a Bruce Springsteen concert -- was distracting him from preparing for the Dolphins.While Belichick acknowledged he had seen a few wild Springsteen concerts, his focus this week is only amplified by the performance of his team in last years regular-season finale at Miami, which he called sickening.Im working on Miami. I dont do concerts, I dont do banners, I dont do parking, I dont do concessions, he said Wednesday.Belichick acknowledged there was some lingering bitterness after Januarys 20-10 loss, which kept the Patriots from securing the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. New England won its divisional playoff game at home against Kansas City, but had to go on the road for the AFC championship game, a 20-18 loss to Denver.Its the main reason why Belichick said it hasnt been difficult to turn the page after last weeks gutty opening win at Arizona.All youve got to do is turn on our game against Miami last year. Its sickening. Yeah, it doesnt take long at all, he said. It wasnt very good: bad coaching, bad playing, just bad period.The shortcomings were all over the field.Tom Brady completed a season-low 21 passes for 134 yards. It was also his only game all season he didnt have a touchdown pass. It wasnt until James White caught a short pass over the middle and rumbled for a 68-yard gain in the third quarter that the Patriots were able to set up their lone touchdown.The defense had a tough time containing Ryan Tannehill, who threww for 350 yards and two touchdowns.ddddddddddddId say the thing thats most etched in my mind, and Im sure our teams, is the last time we went down there it was a pretty rough day for us, Belichick said.Other than James White breaking a tackle we barely had 100 yards of offense. Couldnt play defense, couldnt really do anything.Improving on that result may not be easy.The Patriots took the field against Arizona short-handed, with tight end Rob Gronkowski sidelined with a hamstring issue. Also out were left tackle Nate Solder (hamstring) and right guard Jonathan Cooper (foot). All three were listed as limited participants Wednesday as New England got back on the practice field.The defense also began the week down a starter, with linebacker Donta Hightower unable to practice because of a knee injury. He started against the Cardinals, finishing with one tackle.Safety Devin McCourty, voted a co-captain this season along with Hightower, Gronkowski and Matt Slater, said they received the game plan for Miami just hours after returning from Arizona.Following a day off Tuesday, on-field preparations for the Dolphins didnt begin in earnest until Wednesday.But its nothing this team isnt used to, McCourty said.No ones better than turning the page and getting ready for the next game than Bill, McCourty said. Thats the good thing about this team. We take after him and understand once he turns the page, thats all hes talking about.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower ' ' '
