    Var has caused all this confusion
    It’s interpreted differently every game

    Tough side of the draw if Spain finish 2nd. Projected Quarter finals would be England v France and Spain v Portugal with the winners meeting in the semi. Senegal, Morocco, Poland and either Switzerland or Serbia as 2nd round opponents too. Whoever makes the final from that side will have earned it!

    Var the way they wanted it was
    Black and white no gray area that’s now not the case
    It’s back to interpretation

    For years people have said refs haven't played the game and don't get it properly, now all they have done is double or treble the number of non ex players who influence decisions. Just bin it and let the ref crack on

    If they can’t decide correctly in the var studio

    It's just another human beings interpretation of the laws of the game, there will always be a fair chance of disagreement. That's a massive part of what makes football so exciting....play on, foul, offside, onside, great tackle, penalty or no pen.....it needs decisions quickly to keep the pace and excitement to it. Thats what makes it great for fans and VAR is killing it.

    Germany win 4-2 but are knocked out by Japan beat Spain 2-1 and go through with Spain, what an exciting night of football that was.

    So the german lad is miles offside but apparently not in the same phase so can just turn round and score.

    Yet the Costa Rica goal they were considering disallowing because a bloke that had **** all to do with it might have been offside?

    I'm confused

    VAR has always been a crap idea. Mistakes are part of the game.
