Yeah starting this year the goalies have to wear a chest protector that weighs about 20 pounds. It slows them down put protects them which as led to more scoring.
 
Nice work, Brazil! The stadium in Porto Alegre is apparently incapable of playing the national anthems so they're just going to start the match without them.
