VAR isn’t just bad, it’s European bureaucratic thinking in soccer form.
Overreaching, slow-motion/pixel obsessed, claims it fixes problems but only creates more chaos and kills the joy.
Europeans have lived under these systems so long they don’t even see how it ruins the games.
"VAR made their recommendation to the referee based on slow-motion and still replays, which is not aligned with VAR protocols."
@andydaviesref believes VAR made the incorrect decision on Folarin Balogun's red card.

Wow. Balogun is very clearly trying to play the ball and tied up with #4. Nothing about this play shows intentionality.
This red card is bad and the rule of missing the next game is also bad.
