The hate on VAR is idiotic imo. Yeah there's probably been maybe 5 instances where I haven't agreed with the decision (be that not to review or to give a penalty). And if it can reduce some of the horribly theatrical diving, like with the overturned Neymar penalty then it'll definitely be a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Great first half. Interesting to see if the lightning becomes an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hate on VAR is idiotic imo. Outside the fact that it clearly missed an offside review in the World Cup Final that could end up deciding the winner. Also consistency has been a huge issue with grabbing on corners. Half the time it’s given half the time it isn’t. Far more games are going to be decided on a PK that would’ve never been called before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just because they weren't called before doesn't mean they shouldn't have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drd23 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Watching the replay of the first goal, I'm not convinced that Pogba was off-side - I think he is level with Vrsaljko. And as for the push, its not worse than the non-call in the Switzerland-Brazil game or any number of other non-calls at set pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about the call today, I'm talking about the inconsistency you referenced regarding holding in the box. I think VAR missed this one, but that doesn't make it bad, just not perfect.
