The other great thing for me, and the complete opposite of the general view when VAR was introduced is the amount of injury time that going to VAR creates.

Both last nights games and that Germany game had superb endings because VAR takes away minutes at less important moments in the game and adds them to the end, where the teams now know exactly what they need to do.

So all the 'how long it takes etc etc' is actually adding to the excitement of the games.

Obviously this is knockout football so end of matches become more crucial but it is making football more exciting, fairer and adding to the tension.

Wasn't that South Korea goal enough to persuade the luddites?   In past World cups that goal would have been disallowed and it is a lot less likely that the second would follow.   South Korea would likely have gone home without that great victory against Germany on their resume.  Sure it doesn't make a difference to the rest of the tournament, but it sure mattered to them.

The incident itself is surely enough of an argument to persuade the luddites. <3 VAR.

The sentimental knock-on effect is irrelevant though. It could've been the other way around and VAR denies Korea that joy.

Fair point.
