Except there is VAR in CL

Indeed yet they also failed to correctly rule on the offside call on Suarez (he was level) that would've been a penalty in the 2nd half too

Or maybe by calling it an offside the refs saved Suarez from giving him a yellow for diving? :einsten:

This is a reach. Generally offsides calls are only overturned if there is a sure goal disallowed.

Should’ve been a penalty were it not for offside call, seems precisely the scenario for going to VAR

That also does not show the number one component of the offside call. Where the fuck is the ball? :lol:

Have any of you seen VAR being used to check offside which would deny a penalty call? Me neither. I believe that's not how it works.

Suarez was so free for the 1st goal.He raises both his hands for the ball and has so much time to drift outside the box.Nobody picks him up at all.And there is enough time for somebody to look.I mean we are famed for having these fantastic defenders.Its not even the 90th minute that they are tired.So why is nobody picking him up when he is such a danger?Very disappointed in the defense now after seeing this again.


[And you know you arent a big team if PeePeeTa Higuain is scoring late crunch goals against you!!!!!!]


So disappointed in the way this week has ended and to compound the misery there are 2 weeks of intl break for these 4 days to sink in.

From FIFA on when VAR is used:

Penalty Decisions

- foul committed inside or outside the penalty area
- ball out of play leading up to penalty
- offside position leading up to penalty

Watched their 2nd goal again.
The defensive hiccup is evident.

Skriniar was an extra defender on no one, De Vrij should have communicated better with him and Godin rushed to cover the loose space from that and then was caught in that excellent Suarez move.

A typical 3 man defender disease. Communication and complete awareness is key.

We have been arguing with you for years on this forum. The ref had to had called a penalty, then VAR would have reviewed for offside.

Did the ref award pk? I don’t recall....maybe I’m wrong.

No maybe about it. Ref didn't consider a penalty due to the erroneous offside call. Per the cited FIFA scope of when VAR is used, a penalty decision was impacted by an 'offside position leading up to penalty'. So yes, it should've been alerted by the VAR referee but wasn't checked. This, among many criticisms against VAR, is chief among the complaints about the inconsistent use of VAR
