Their implementation has been stellar. It's quick, decisive and always seems to be spot on with its decisions. Doesn't interrupt the flow of matches and the feedback has been excellent overall.

MLS? Nooooot so much.

Worst officials out of the major leagues.

And at times, it sure seems, corrupt. I have zero trust in any officials from Spain.


Agreed...

I'd also card every player who was up in the ref's face when he's trying to listen about VAR.


Yep

Bayern players were doing it today.

Let the officials do their job. I really wish FIFA would go the way of rugby and only allow the captains to have those discussions.
