Ken Ryu Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 VAR is becoming the worst invention in soccer since the days of sudden death by each decision made. I thought I was enjoying the evolution of the soccer game by its unpredictability but we have taken a complete different turn at the moment. As we draw towards the knockoff stages I wish it was easy and had confidence in siding with a team that could advance through fair and sqaure, but not while VAR is still implemented.

I understand people are upset, mostly in regards to VAR re-awarding penalties when the goalies feet come off the line.However, that's the rules...so I don't understand why people are so upset with it? The rule is clear as can be, yet was NEVER called even when the keeper would leap way before the ball was kicked, so now that they have found a way to stop it, people are upset? I think it's clear that you can't please everyone, if you are English (just assuming with Arsenal), then why not go for England? Scottish fans probably feel crappy, but the keeper did come off her line, which is against the rules, so...not sure what you expect?

I hear you, but where is VAR when this happens? https://nigerianewsng.com/nigeria-vs-france-oliseh-others-react-to-var-decision/ Most of these situations have been getting away with double standards.

It's not perfect, but damn, it's a lot better than what it was like beforehand when we had World Cup decided on goals scored by players hitting it in with their hands.
Ken Ryu Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 Nevertheless, USA are serious contenders by force. The game vs Sweden is on now and they started scoring by the second minute. It seems like they have alot to prove towards their country because of the whole underpayment saga. As I went through this article it gave me a bit of perspective that most of the US based analysts put their own money on them too: https://www.bonusseeker.com/news/new-jersey-sports-betting-sites/fifa-world-cup-odds-fanduel-nj-sports-betting

Bluewolf Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 I think we need to get rid of it if it's going to keep working against us... you can leave it on for other matches but not those England are playing..
