Penalty looked soft in fairness, but that was an infuriating use of VAR. |  |

This says it best. (I don’t think the actual penalty decision was correct though; looked a dive from the Croat)

It's not much better in the Canada and Morocco game.
Morocco just had a very onside goal ruled out for offside. |  |

Isn't VAR supposed to intervene when it's a clear and obvious error? I could understand if they overruled the actual penalty decision as I'm not even sure there was contact but that is not a clearly wrong offside decision by the officials on the pitch. |  | | |

That is the lie we were sold, yes. | |

I think you did well to stay awake that far into the match to be honest, very dull fare. |  |

Belgium are bloody dreadful aren't they? So, so poor. For a team that need to win they are offering nothing at all.
Edit: Ha, that was almost perfect timing! [Post edited 1 Dec 2022 16:20]

Problem is that the clear and obvious line was flawed from the start as there'll always be a point where something moves from being obvious to being harder to judge but you can't really go 'it's a bit close so we won't bother checking properly' as teams will feel cheated and we'll just be having the same conversations about what constitutes clear and obvious. |  |

Offsides are seen as factual decisions. They are using semi automated technology in this tournament which is supposedly a step up. I very much doubt these very borderline offside decisions were ever part of the original thinking of VAR but once the technology is there…
The PL website has this in relation to “clear and obvious”:
“But factual decisions such as offsides, and the issue of whether a player is inside or outside the penalty area, are not subject to the "clear and obvious" test.” |  | | |
