Worst VAR decision of the tournament.

Games gone etc

Just when you thought VAR couldn’t get any worse.

Are the referees allowed to display any common sense?

Have they ever played football?

At the very least it needs a radical rework. We should be able to hear the discussion between the control room and the ref so there is at least some level of accountability.

I'd also prefer it to be based on a challenge system. That way the ref can't hide away from making a decision, and the onus is on the manager/captain to challenge when the ball next goes dead.

It's too late now, all they will do is try to improve it. To use a stock phrase, the game is gone. And it won't come back.

I still don't understand how the ref looked at that on the VAR screen - several times - and decided it was a pen.

As I recall, VAR at the Euros last year worked really well, but in the hands of FIFA at this tournament it has been abysmal

Its this. VAR as a piece of technology is not to blame its the implementation or more precisely the humans making the interpretations that are to blame. So the VAR ref thought there was something more worth looking at. A clear and obvious error in the original decision? No. So play on should have been the recommendation to the ref. So the Ref looks at it on the screen and reverses the decision, how? He can't really feel there is a clear and obvious error and somehow 2 "qualified FIFA Refs deem that a foul. Unbelievable.

I think there is clearly some unwritten rule that is mandated on the Refs when they view the screen not to disagree with the VAR Ref. Totally ruining football.

It should be more like Rugby in that everyone should hear the talk and it should be on the big screen, though I doubt FIFA wanted everyone to hear the conversation about making sure Messi scored and avoid playing France in the next round!

Should also say Poland were absolute dross and deserved to be thrashed by 6 or 7.

Do you not think that would just make it more of a circus? VAR is now almost as much a spectacle as the football itself, broadcasting the audio from the control room would make it even worse. It'd also just pile even more pressure onto the officials.

Plus, if Town ever make it to the PL, our PA system couldn't handle it.
