All major VAR interventions in EURO 2020 "technically correct" - research

The use of Video Assistant Referee upsets many soccer fans worldwide, but its role at the European Championship was far less controversial than during the 2020-21 English Premier League season, William Hill said in a report on Thursday. READ | Mario Gavranovic's potential winner in a 1-1 group-stage draw with Wales was rated as the most controversial call of the tournament, with the Swiss forward correctly adjudged to have been marginally offside. Karim Benzema's strike chalked off in France's 1-0 win over Germany and Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt's card upgrade to red for a deliberate handball in the side's last-16 defeat by the Czech Republic also sparked outrage on social media. The report also said the VAR team based at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon for the Euros was not only efficient with its decision-making process but also avoided lengthy interruptions during the four-week tournament.
