Justice done there. Messi should have been booked for simulation.

Getting beyond a joke now ... why has Anthony Taylor just been invited by VAR to come to the monitor to check for an OFFSIDE?
Either the player is or he isn't, it's NOT a subjective call!

The only thing I can think of is was the guy given offside the intended recipient of the cross and interfering with play and they needed the on field ref's opinion? It's bizarre to be honest.

Presume because the off-side player challenging for the ball didn't actually touch the ball, the referee has to make the decision as to whether or not he was interfering with play? Seems a logical assumption, but maybe FIFA will come out and say it was because it was on a Thursday afternoon. Who knows?

The thing for me Paul is where does this nonsense end, do we micro analyse every second in the build up to a goal or other decision to find infractions It’s ruining the spontaneous enjoyment of football

We've now had more VAR interventions at this World Cup than we did in the entirety of the last one!

I can’t recall seeing any praise for VAR on social media. No “great call, wouldn’t have happened without VAR”. Every comment on it seems negative.
Speaks volumes.

VAR gets a huge decision correct that the naked eye couldn't see. Ruining the game getting a massive call correct A big part of the game for the fans, i.e. us lot, is the spontaneity. Was the ball in or out, was the player offside or not, was it handball or not? That is what we argue about and discuss both during the match and afterwards. If everything is going to be measured to the nth degree and that spontaneity, excitement and entertainment value is lost, we might as well watch chess. That is what VAR is ruining. And we all console ourselves that these things even themselves out over the season. Germany can console themselves tonight that there’ll be another World Cup in four years time. There’s more to football than “ getting a massive call correct”.

I get that but Japan would have been out unfairly. 4 years down the drain and at least can say justice was done as no teams deserves to go home from such a big stage in error for me.

When they go for you 😁 I think some may have seen it differently if Germany stayed in and the goal disallowed but the game is so much faster now also. Had to be done really

How did we all feel when Frank lampards shot bounced over the line v Germany in the world cup but was disallowed...and we were out...what we would of given for the right result to be made that day...
Yes it slows the game down..but it gets the right result and justice is done
If japans goal had been disallowed they would be out the world cup..and that would of been a mistake.

Never goes away years later, decisions like that against your side . Offsides etc. Many still talk re semi final decisions before myself and many others on here were born.

I don't think the use of VAR per se is the issue but rather that if a) it isn't used for the purpose that it was originally intended and b) it doesn't actually get those calls right, then (as the title of the thread says) it's in danger of ruining the tournament.

I'm a Debbie Downer here, but it must be pointed out: As a comparison, the NFL has had "Instant Replay" since 1986. It took them years of haggling over the "clear and obvious" principle and work out what was "reviewable" or not and yet even today, calls STILL get blown 36 years down the road. That's because humans are still involved with it. Officials get full of themselves and refuse to go against their own ego.
Before anyone assumes I want to go all "robotic" - if you eliminate the humans, then Man City will just hack it.

It's just a shame footballs didn't have chips in them when Neville Southall was in goal for us. He'd have saved everything.
