2741257, Question about VAR and penalties?
Posted by PROMO, Wed Jun-23-21 08:24 PM
Okay, so we have replay, right? VAR, love or hate it, is part of the fabric of the game right now.

So, on the Mbappe penalty, which wasn't a penalty and you're smoking dicks if you think it is...why doesn't soccer have a "catchability" rule like the NFL?

I mean, not only did Mbappe flop, but he's running towards the middle of the box and the ball flys over and goes out mid-touch line on that side of goal. VAR can't look at THAT (where the ball is going vs where Mbappe is going) and go "he had no chance to get on the ball, so, no penalty"?

Just seems like some simple rules like that could clean up a lot of the garbage in the game where VAR is concerned.
