VAR may have kinks that need to be ironed out, but the technology will prove to be useful in long run
VAR can serve as a useful tool to eliminate howlers. With VAR’s use approved for the World Cup this summer, much needs to be done before it is better understood in the little time that is left. On Thursday, it announced the list for match officials at the World Cup but only seven of the 12 countries using VAR in at least one of their major competitions had their representatives chosen. There is also the chance that, with referees already getting most decisions correct, perhaps we will see minimal interference by VAR at the World Cup. Thanks to VAR, we are unlikely to see a repeat of ghost goals like the one ‘scored’ by Frank Lampard for England against Germany at the 2010 World Cup.
