Video Referee A Bane On Football by hitleraldof(m): 7:39am On Jun 19, 2017
I was not opportune to watch the first two games of the on going confed so I swore nothing will stop me from watching the Chile vs Cameroon game... Naturally I was rooting for the African champions but half way into the first half I switched alliance because Cameroon had set up to defend- me I cannot come and support nonsense when no be Naija dey play- towards the end of the first half, Chile scored a goal any ref would have given, the players celebrated, me I was waiting for the ball to be taken to the center line but the ref hesitated he was not consulting with his linesman who did not raise his flag against the goal he was consulting with a whole new concept "a video referee " for the world of me who expects football to be so perfect that a finger or the front of a boot would rule a beautiful goal as offside. Similarly in the second half when Chile scored the third goal of the match to go up by three goals the same contraption was consulted to decide on the goal.... you could see the anticipation on the faces of the players, the joy of the goal had given way to anticipation that when it was finally given the players did not celebrate.
Video referee is an enigma on the beautiful game it sucks the joy out of football which should be a spontaneous game, most times a referee ended up spicing up an otherwise boring game with his hit and miss decisions....... football fans do not expect perfection we expect honesty the ref is allowed to make honest non bias mistakes. To me the video ref Is an NO... What's your own opinion

Mehn, it sucks. It kills the joy in the game.
Such Technology is not meant for soccer.
I watched the Portugal - Mexico game, after the players had celebrated the goal was eventually cancelled for an offside that happened 10 seconds before the goal.
It makes mockery of the line's men & it would spoil the instant celebration mood.

To clear your wrong assertion, the finger or arm of a player is no longer considered to be able to keep a player offside.
Re: Video Referee A Bane On Football by ajailer(m): 8:11am On Jun 19, 2017
I second you bro. It takes the excitement of a goal out of the match. I actually don't see this rule lasting beyond the world cup itself. I also see other continental football union lookin at fifa like you are on your own on this one.

LOL. FIFA RULES are constantly reviewed & they thought it wise that the arm (hand) of a player cannot legally score a goal therefore a player should not be flagged offside if his arm is ahead of the last defender.
Try to learn everyday, what do I gain from showing off?
But if you are still in doubt: GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND.

it's like u didn't watch just concluded FIFA U20? Video Assistant Referee is to judge controversial goal not all the goals
Re: Video Referee A Bane On Football by hardeycute(m): 10:40am On Jun 19, 2017
tongue I believe OP is a Barca or Man UTD fan,no more dubious goals.

VAR will and has come to stay, FIFA is working towards having a FAIR PLAY.

I watched FIFA u20 with style. I would say 70% of football goals are controversial.The constant pause will ruin the fun and most of us watch football for the controversy. This new guy at FIFA are over doing It go and read about their proposed amendments from 30mins halfs to time pausing, football as we know it is about to be ruined
