FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 || 7 June – 7 July, France
- Thread starter Peru
- Start date
Man VAR offside is so strict, we're gonna have so many goals ruled out like this in the future, basically just gotta avoid celebrating, chill and wait for VAR if a 'goal' looks like it might have been offside, but I guess we'll get used to it. Offside is offside.
Mate, I'm English and it was offside by rule.
VAR disallowed an illegal goal.
It is objectively better that we have it.
I mean they showed the line and white is offside. Offside has no interpretation, it is or it isn't. Sucks for England, but what are the officials supposed to do?
Most leagues that have used it for the past 2 seasons have already adpated to it I guess. they celebrate but wait for the ref's confirmation (or not).
.... Ugh, the game is too intense, they don't even have time to show the replay, if it was really off side.
Close doesn't matter with VAR, as it should be at this level.
Join the game to see VAR in action lol, also they been denying those slightly offside goals all tourney..
Yup, it's just like the one that went against the US a few days ago.
Yeah I imagine people will adapt, it'll be a lot better if offside VAR Was quicker though so we don't have the agonizing wait for it.
If technology allows then having goal/ no goal appear on a screen a few seconds after play ends would be great.
Obviously.
Some were lying and saying it was "obviously" outside though.
On replay, it was even close.
Maybe if FIFA had a competent association they would have used VAR and got standards down ASAP in past 2 years. But no, everyone's greedy. At least VAR has had some consistency in calls in this tournament, this offsides call was right.
In the end, VAR will be great for sport. Just like it is for every other sport in the US at least. But there will always be controversy using replay or using refs, so it all depends on who the winner/loser is for fans to complain
I'm on stream, posted after the replay but before the line was shown. Since edited.
I am just saying for people who want to call BS, FIFA has been consistent in making those calls...
Harsh but barely offside.
What's the red line meant to be for there? Her foot? Looks a bit beyond all of her tbh.
Cricket has been using Hawkeye technology since 2001 as well.
In my experience, this past season it got a looot faster. Two seasons ago it was pretty slow, but these days it takes some 30 seconds for the ref to allow it or to go check the VAR review if need be. Even the recent Nations League was fairly fast (especially compared to the Copa America). This offside call itself was damn fast too, didn't even take a minute I think.
It's usually penalties & red card reviews that take longer these days.
That's why you replied my post with a "lol"?
Chill out, I just meant that you can tell easily with the replay.
