I think part of the problem is we don’t get a good explanation. They do a VAR, decide a goal is allowed or not, but you don’t know exactly what they’re looking for. Offside? Foul?

One game I saw I called “penalty” as it happened, a player in the box leaning forward and the ball hitting the upper arm. The ref called it immediately too. ...then they had a VAR and called it off when it was clear it hit the arm. The TV folks tried to say she was keeping her arm at her side so it would have been “too harsh”. Baloney, she turned her body, leaning into the path of the ball and it hit her arm. Hand ball. Penalty. Again, no official explanation.

Other sports explain the review.

Not a fan of VAR at all. Get the damn call right the first time.

VAR will just make refs lazier.
