The World Cup final is expected to have a half time break of around 30 minutes, rather than the typical maximum of 15 minutes.
A longer pause in play will be in place to accommodate the half time show.
However, by extending things this weekend, FIFA are breaking the rules of football and breaching the Laws of the Game.
The maximum time allowed for a half time period is 15 minutes, but there is now going to be double that time for the final.
