Comment on Their entire strategy was to win was force a foul and take a penalty kick
Mpatch@lemmy.world 1 week agoYeah, no, the var is bullshit . You have some damn tolerance, especially for the offside crap? Being offside by 1"? Really? A guy running full sprint to catch a ball. Like yeah, I get it if it was a full stride ahead.

Like I said in the beginning, they’re not perfect and there have indeed been some bad calls. But that can be said for the human refs too and taking away one of their most valuable tools is only going to cause more mistakes/bad calls. The specific call you’re talking about? Yeah, that’s a bit extreme, they were clearly following the letter of the law rather than the spirit, but that’s hardly a problem limited to football, or even professional sports in general. At the end of the day, everyone involved here is human and humans are prone to making mistakes, even WITH dozens of multi-thousand-dollar cameras watching from every angle, I’m just simply arguing that we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water
