This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

VAR is getting close to NFL territory now by plaid_pants
Nobody can tell looking at the super slow motion replay what the decision will be.
The second Japan goal looked like the ball was fully across the end line before being crossed. The offside call on Croatia I had assumed was on a different player, because the graphic they showed looked inconclusive at best.
If the sensor is in the center of the ball, how do they tell when the ball is over the line? Are they assuming a standard width of the goal line? Is it possible the actual line drawn on the field does not match this width? Or is goal line technology vision system based and not sensor based?
