>“Competitions in Australia, Brazil, Germany, Portugal, the Netherlands and the United States are the first to agree to the requirements drawn up by The IFAB [International Football Association Board] and FIFA to participate in experiments with video assistant referees (VARs),” FIFA announced through a statement on their website on Thursday.
>FIFA say the initial experiment will be a dry run, where VARs will “familiarize themselves with the setup, assess video replays and practice making calls on clear match-changing incidents but without communicating with the referee.” This means the games will not be directly impacted at this stage.
>The competitions that will be involved, starting at the beginning of next year, include Australia's A-League, the Bundesliga, the league and cups in Portugal and Major League Soccer in the United States. Unspecified competitions in Brazil and the Netherlands will also participate under the umbrella of their respective football federations.

It's not for offside?
>>68067831
diving should be top priority
will ruin the game with pausing and stuff, game 1 of the NBA Finals was paused for 5 minutes to watch if some Australian player grabbed the black guy's dick.
I'm in favour of technology if its automatic like the goal-line one, where if the ball passes the line the ref's watch beeps. Offside is also something that could be determined by a top-down camera (the regular TV camera angle is shit for that), someone needs to get on it.
>>68067857
no idea
>>68067875
b-but
>muh passion
>muh killing the beautiful game
>>68067875
Literally suspend people after the fact for obvious diving and it's fixed. Southern european "men" will complain but who cares?
About fucking time. There is no good reason to be against this, the "errors are part of the game" can go fuck themselves.
>mfw yuropoors thought their sport was safe from out new grubbing capitalistic market schemes
These replays will be brought to you by Mastercard and McDonalds. Not long now until there are FIFA mandated water breaks to prevent dehydration, sponsored by Aquafina.
>>68067953
Of course brazil is against it
Fucking refball every game
>>68068016
>suspend people after the fact
>I'll dive in the Champions League final you get a penalty, what are they going to do suspend me for next year
You're an idiot
>>68067831
>>68067821
so is the clock still running during these reviews?
>>68067821
I've never been a thigh man, but damn those are some perfect legs
>>68068048
dortmund needed this in championsleague final, dfb final 2014 and dfb final 2016.
>>68068339
So you'd only be able to dive in one game?
>what are they going to do suspend me for next year
Yes?
>>68067821
>dem thighs
name?
>>68068359
yes, the natural tempo and stops of play should allow for everything to be done live
Nice. It's a necessary evil
>>68068016
yes, i don't understand why they not get punished after everyone saw it in the fucking tv.
they tell you about respect and everything but latinos are the worst at diving and acting, but nobody of them gets punished.
>>68068339
>what are they going to do suspend me for next year
suspensions carry to the next season, so yes
>>68068446
You missed the point Paco, the player would take a trophy over a match ban for the next season, anyone would
>>68068446
The point is that he already won the CL with the foul, damage is done.
>>68068488
>>68068498
>it's not a perfect solution for everything
>therefore it shouldn't be done
Great attitude
>>68067953
>will ruin the game with pausing and stuff
no it won't you little cunt
half of the game is stoppage already, so it'll just blend in with the current rhythm.
>>68068522
I don't disagree with you, it just seemed to me you (intentionally?) misunderstood the point.
>>68067821
As if paying one more ref would phase Buyern.
As someone who's watched their local sport go through a ton of video ref bullshit this will only be terrible.
>>68068488
>>68068498
who says they won't be reviewing live? plenty of time to check 3 different views of a 1 second penalty replay. That's the point of this whole thing, doing it live
>>68067821
Welp, Madrid is fucked. Luckily images being modified during years it's something unfeasible
>>68068590
>half of the game is stoppage already
exactly, they play around 50 minutes every game
>>68068657
Should have had this ages ago
Halal's offside goal made me rage
>>68067821
my dick
>>68068712
ask dortmund supporters how they feel about the buyern "luck" in 3 finals against them.
>>68068168
you're definitely underage.
>>68068785
at the WC you had much luck with refs and then 7-1 happened, no other country deserved it that much.
>>68067831
Seriously just skip step 3 altogether.
Kind of how they do in the NHL (or how they used to if the rules changed AGAIN)
Have the VAR's take a look at the play while the action on the field continues and then on the next pause of the game (out of bounds ball, play stopped, etc) have the referee announce the decision reached by the VAR's.
That way you don't deal with all that pausing bullshit in between.
Or at least some iteration of this way.
>>68068752
That CL was also ridiculous
>>68068752
Just like last year in the DFB semis right? The only reason they advanced to the finals, was that 2 obvious penalties and a red card weren't given.
>>68067821
she could flag me offside
she could spot my off the ball incident
i would like to have sex with her
>>68068851
what did he mean by this
>>68068397
learn to reverse image, you dumb brittard
>video reviews
>lineswomen with thick thighs
Divegrass status: fixed
>>68068794
Brazil won 5 World Cups fair and square, we never needed refs for any of them.
