I think it would be nice if you do a review on historic refereeing mistakes and controversial decisions. Take the incident with Neuer and Higuaín on the 2014 WC final or the penalty given to Germany on the 1990 WC final, for example (yes, I'm from Argentina of course). Btw, you should check out the last Boca vs Racing in the "Supercopa Argentina" match. There were many controversial calls from the ref. Anyways, thanks for the great content, keep it up.
Right FCE. Still million times better with VAR than the chaos that was before it. Better to have several marginal decisions which could gone either way and a handful of mistakes than the disaster of each round of any whatsoever league mistakes (some outragoues and frustrating) without var that impacted the outcome of the game
Nobody is blaming VAR. It is still human operated so subjective decisions need to be made unless it’s an offside measurement which is clear and objective. The point is that mistakes should be very minimal because of the help VAR gives to referees. This Celtic penalty incident for example is unacceptable after a VAR review.
@@PaulSpacey I don't know exactly where you're from, but I'm from Central America and I work in sport journalism, and my colleagues do blame VAR and they are mocking it by saying "was it really the solution for football? VAR is a disgrace". so it seems like they do blame the technology behind it instead of the referees.
I think that’s the easy go-to answer if a fan believes things don’t go their way. In fairness, many commenters on this channel have left unbiased and honest comments, even about their own team. I’m from the UK but I live in the US. VAR is just an easy scapegoat when in reality, it has definitely had a net positive effect on the game and picked up lots of tight decisions that would otherwise likely have been missed. It’s not perfect; no solution is.
Var is more good than bad, though things that aren't decided by one "yes" or one "no" will always be vulnerable to decision like that (handballs, penalties, fouls in buildup). In volleyball teams cannot challenge faults that have to do with ball handling (carries, double touches) they can only challenge things that are decided by a single "yes" or "no" (ball in/out, net touch, block touch etc)
That’s basically true. The AR correct decision % was already insanely high for offside for example. Huge majority of ref decisions were correct but VAR has helped clarify some of the very close decisions and missed incidents that referees don’t see.
For those of you saying VAR make bad decisions, you are right this time 😉
Yay

Good suggestion, thanks for that. I’ll certainly consider it as a video option.

very well put and spot on. Thanks for the perspective!
VAR makes mistakes because referees makes mistakes. It's not perfect because we are not perfect. VAR isn't to blame, the referees are.

Despite some of the criticism, I’d agree that it’s been a net positive overall. More transparency would help with fan acceptance IMO.
The only thing var has done is prove that the refs were correct 99% of the time before var. now the refs simply don’t care
