Fifa may get dispensation to test additional powers at next summer’s tournament. Plus: New rule cracking down on feigned injuries being tested at Arab Cup
Am I the only person who finds VAR really annoying in general? Even for penalties, you end up in a lot of time wasted, and what do you get? Half-justified penalties where the defender ever so lightly tapped the other player with his toe
That’s not a problem with the technology, though, but how poorly implemented they have been in some cases. VAR could be way better and faster, it could even improve the flow of the game.
I still think the game without VAR is way worse and it took us too long to implement it, specially with well defined calls, like offsides/corners/throw ins, which could be done instantly and automatically.
You are not the only person, I’ve always been against it, from before it was even being considered. It’s absolutely bloody awful.
I’d much prefer a time limit. If it takes longer than 10 seconds to make a decision, you go with the original call. Solves the wasted time and hopefully lowers those millimetre decisions that require a microscope.
