Cricket, rugby union, rugby league, NFL - you can hear either the officials or the video ref or both. What do they say to each other in football that demands secrecy?
There urgently needs to be some way to keep the crowd in the ground informed too.
Think that is the one area it can improve, the 3rd umpire in cricket, NFL and RL adds to the excitement where admittedly the current VAR system doesn't. At the end of the day the right decisions are being made tho so when they get around to fine tuning it it will be a great addition to the sport imo.

VAR enhancing this World Cup imo, quick, efficient and getting the close decisions right. A big help to the refs.

Also think it adds to the drama - that suspense when the ref is reviewing...loving it!

Hasn't the ref overruled the original decision every time he's gone to look at the monitor?
The sweat is watching a man hold his finger to an earpiece which could be improved upon.
If it reduces diving in the box a la Neymar, which I think it will, I'm all for it.

why do we think the VAR guys in the lobby are doing nothing about wrestling in the box?
Kane?
Mitrovic last night?
this seems the one "blind spot" of a system that is working well
by the by, it also has betting impolications
no 0-0s yet, more penalties given.
friend of mine had a stray tenner on no 0-0's in the tournament at 40-1. Is beginning to get excited. He says he anticipated that VAR would lead to more pens!

I used to scowl at tv when players waved an imaginary red card to the ref after incidents.
Now though, players are surrounding the ref and drawing an imaginary tv screen with their fingers. Pretty com.

I took a look at the penalty markets on bet365 out of interest. I don't know what they were before but you can get 7/4 on a penalty being awarded in each of the upcoming games. i think there's been 12 in the 20 game sample so far. I assume the prices post-VAR have adjusted though.

I believe it was usually anywhere from 4 to 6/1 depending on teams. So they e been cut quite significantly

The BBC's attitude towards Var is disgraceful. Lawrenson is bad enough but the end of the Portugal game there is embarrassing from the studio guests too.
The commentator in the Spain game actually said after Spain's disallowed goal which was correctly overturned to get them a point 'it will be sad if a game like this is decided by a VAR decision'. That's exactly what VAR was brought in to do you idiot. The goal was disallowed, was a fair goal and was then given as a goal after VAR was used. That's perfect and it decided the result correctly. Why would that be 'sad' in any way
In the Portugal game the Penalty given after consulting VAR is rightly ridiculed and the entire panel tell us how ridiculous the VAR system is. But the VAR system didn't award the penalty, after using the system the ref gave a penalty which was never ever a penalty. So the ref made a mistake after consulting the VAR system. That is a refereeing mistake.
