Serbia should of had a penalty kick for that assault by 2 Swiss defenders. How is VAR not used for that?!?!?
Serbia got screwed badly on that call. I’ve never seen a worse two-man tackle in a penalty area. There was no crowd of other players blocking his view. Didn’t even do a VAR check.
If FIFA is serious about controlling the muggings by defenders that go on in the penalty box, they need to send this ref home in order to send a message. An offensive player barely breaths on a defender and a foul is called.
Only one potential penalty kick has even been submitted for review even though FIFA directed the refs to make extensive use for it on potential penalty kicks or fouls by the attackers when goals are scored. FIFA even had a training session for the Refs that included numerous video examples of what and what should not be called.
My guess is that the refs have conspired to not use VAR as a protest to its use. Either that, or there is a lot of bribery going on.
I’ve watched most of the matches, and there are a lot of very questionable calls and non-calls.
