He didn't even get booked for it ffs.
VAR is class though apparently
Shearer spot on with his comments after the match.
VAR is good imo but FIFA needs to clarify how it's going to be used. Does the ref need to ask for assistance or will the video assistant referees notify him when he's made a mistake? So far it's looking like its the former. If they're adamant that it has to stay that way then they need to add a "challenge" system similar to the one in Tennis where the coach would be able to appeal a decision 3 times during a game. Regardless it can't stay this way, it's too shady and considering FIFAs reputation i wouldn't be surprised if they left it that way on purpose.
Don't get why it's so hard to use it for clear mistakes. If the ref has made a mistake then tell him to review it and he gets a second chance to make the right call.
At least if there was 1 clear rule for when it's used then you just take the refs final decision and move on, as you would without VAR. Can't get it right 100% even with the TV screens because people will always disagree but at least be consistent and get 99% right.
Currently it's a joke.
