Effect of VAR System on football history
Imagine if we had always had this VAR system, a lot of past matches would've likely ended differently. These come to mind. I'm sure they're more.
1988 AFCON final, coulda beaten Cameroon if Henry Nwosu's goal stood and Roger Miller's dive not rewarded as a PK.
2000 AFCON final, coulda beaten Cameroon if Ikpeba's PK was allowed.
I'm gonna say the penalty awarded to Tunisia against Nigeria in the 2004 AFCON semi final.
France v Nigeria 2014 WCR16, France could've had Matuidi and Giroud sent off. And Emenike's goal could've been allowed.
Nigeria v Italy, USA 94, Maldini could've been sent off for killing Yekini down; but then again Zola worksheet not been sent off either so equation balanced.
Mexico 86 Quarter final. Maradona's hand of God goal would've been erased and maybe he doesn't score that best ever world cup goal.
England 66 World Cup final, perhaps Geoff Hurst's goal might've been disallowed and maybe England loses.
Spurs v Manure, the goal that never was game.
Finally, all the millions of dodgy penalty calls given to home teams in the Nigerian domestic league lol.

Re: Effect of VAR System on football history
The VAR is doing a good job. For me there are two areas of concern though: a) when to request a review, and b) balancing referee's discretionary power.

Re: Effect of VAR System on football history
How could one miss the very incident that led to VAR by the conservative IFAB?
Lampard's missed goal in SA 2010.
VAR is supposedly limited to goal scoring and red card incidents.
This is better than what we saw during the Confederations Cup.

My understanding is that the officials in the booth determine if/when a review is necessary not the teams.Enugu II wrote:The VAR is doing a good job. For me there are two areas of concern though: a) when to request a review, and b) balancing referee's discretionary power.
About the discretionary powers, I think the objective of the VAR system is to help the referee reconsider his decision, not used to overrule it.

Re: Effect of VAR System on football history
Man, take a look at the Iran goal against Spain, that was overruled by the VAR. Pure hypocrisy in the media.
For example, this one decides to show the wrong picture. The show him "offside" when the ball lands, not when the free kick was played!
Same here...
It is disgraceful. Here is the video. You can see at 1:15 that it is a completely differently picture, nowhere near the 6 yard line. (And you can see at 1:02 that nobody gets a touch before the ball drops.)
The linesman does not flag it.
The linesman flagged 9 seconds later, at 1:24 after Iran scored.
This was described in the Sun as: "But their joy was cut short by an eagle-eyed linesman who had spotted Ezatolahi straying offside in the build-up."
Hypocrisy makes a mockery of everything. Technology doesn't always prevent it. The media is spinning it left and right.
It is touch and go whether the mid-fielder was offside when the kick was actually taken. The fact that the media dare not show the correct picture, but feel the need to spin it, tells the whole story.

The Iranian that scored the goal, #6, was NOT offside when the kick was taken.
However, he was offside when his player (#20) headed the ball to him
It is very clear from the video

I think he headed at the ball and missed. The ball seemed to go in front of the player in front of him (who may have got a touch).
What I find suspicious is when people use the word "clear", when it isn't clear.
If the issue was about who got a touch before the midfielder scored, then that would be mentioned ABSOLUTELY everywhere. DID no. 20 get a touch, would be the question?
All I can find are vague, evasive references to the guy being offside in the "build-up" to the goal.

It doesn't seem like you can make it out from this angle that the player came off #20s head.
Everyone seems to be saying this is a clear cut offside, but I don't think that viewing angle allows us to see if it does. Granted, I'm sure the refs got to see a different angle and make their decision based on that, I just wish they would show us that angle.

First of all, both the 6 and the 19 were offside on the initial free kick, and they both touched it.
Also, I think the ball came off an Iran player, and 6 was waaaay offside at that point.

The touch in between was also by an Iranian player and was still offside. Also, it has to be a new game situation for passive active no longer becoming active once the ball is received i.e. with a controlled pass

It counts from the last "intentional" touch, which in this case was the down header by the Iranian player, and he was offside when that header was made. Deflections do not count even if it's off a Spanish player. If a Spanish player intentionally back pass though, you're allowed to intercept that even if you're on an offside position.

Re: Effect of VAR System on football history
Hi EII, from what we have seen so far, it seems the players are all now influencing the referee to check VAR on all controversial decisions that the referee doesn't give in their favor and showing dissent in many cases. Isn't it obvious now, that the VAR protocol has to be amended to give only the captain the ability to challenge the referee and within a time limit for the incident and how many times it can be done per half and if successful with a challenge can as well have the option to retain one more challenge within the period.folem wrote:I think the captain can do it by contacting the referee who is in charge of the game to check with the VAR officials.
