Today he played his best game since joining. A sick assist which VAR should’ve never ruled it out + accurate passes + solid defensively and this great save
Offside is a binary—either he’s off or he isn’t. It’s not a matter of subjectivity. Unfortunately, Mbappe was only just offside. It was unbelievably close, but offside nonetheless. Just bad luck.
That’s not true. It really all depends on what frame VAR chooses as the frame that the passer touches the ball.
These frames are so tight that they’re almost negligible, making them easy to manipulate. This is my main issue with VAR
You can grab one take of the passer touching the ball and the runner being onside, and you can easily grab another take 0.05 seconds where the ball is still at the passers foot but now the runner is clearly past the defender
This true. I don't understand the downvotes. People forgot the weird incidents last year with the frame the VAR decides to choose and the ones where the VAR images just change slightly the shape or position of players. And the Lewandowski incident where his foot was made longer. VAR isn't this infallible system that everybody thinks it is. It's still operated by humans.
