It always ruins the game if the ref interferes too much, but these guys are role models across the world, receiving massive salaries, they know the rules and should abide by them strict discipline may interupt the game to start with but if consistent then players will adapt their behaviuor to suit, can only be a good thing.

It’s basically a good thing to enforce rules more strictly, however they shouldn’t overdo it so as to ruin the tournament. But gradually moving towards stricter rules is what’s needed IMO.
It remains to be seen how well this will be applied, especially in the final phases of the competition.

Anyway, it will still fall short of video refs, that’s for sure.
