Apparently off to Napoli. Good team and all, but he could and should be playing for a better one imo.

"VAR is great, it means the referees now have help and we can get to the right decisi....

I was listening to a US Sports talk show yesterday, and there was a couple of South American commentators on taking calls. They were very scathing of the whole VAR process (as were every single caller). One guy nailed on the problem, when he said VAR was intended to prevent/over ride clear and obvious mistakes. It should take 30 seconds for the ref to look at the video and say... "Oh yeah I made a mistake" or "No I was right", and move on. The fact they have to take 3 or 5 minutes looking at every camera angle means it must not be clear and obvious. Also they were bemoaning the lack of respect for the paying crowd in the stands, who are not privy to seeing what the people at home see, or being informed of the reasoning behind the outcome of the VAR.
There were a bunch of other gripes they had, which I fully agreed with (too many to go on about here). I really do think we are going to see a total rethink of the process and intent, and adjustments made by next summer. |

VAR shows no sign of being better than the current situation.

Strangely enough in this day of commercialized kick-off times (see PremLeague), we have 2 QF's tomorrow and only one on Saturday.
Mind you, the afternoon kick off is Argentina (nobody works on a Friday afternoon anyway) v Venezuela (Nobody works.)

Crazy last 10-15 minutes. How Brazil didn't score is beyond me.
0-0 FT And no ET. Straight to pens

He made no attempt to play the ball. Had he scythed him down he probably would have only got a yellow for his efforts.

VAR again...
Chile score and VAR says no... and this time I really do have absolutely no idea why. Commentators equally mystified. EDIT apparently somebody's big toe might have been offside.
