After Lionel Messi retires from Argentina, FIFA adds career stoppage time. Farewell ceremonies pause for VAR while officials review every substitution, injury delay, and trophy parade since 2005.

The retirement becomes official only when VAR finds no remaining footage, so broadcasters keep the archive running.
