FIFA has issued a statement explaining the tightened rules following the controversial disallowed goal that led to Germany's elimination from the World Cup. The new rules aim to prevent similar controversies by ensuring that all decisions are made with the highest level of accuracy.

The statement emphasizes that the VAR system will be more stringent in reviewing goals and penalties. 'We have reviewed the incident and have made adjustments to ensure fair play and accurate decision-making,' a FIFA spokesperson said.

Germany's players and coaching staff have expressed frustration over the decision, but FIFA remains committed to upholding the integrity of the tournament.
