Themba Hadebe, AP But now it is here – in the form of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system – and it is not welcome. VAR is terrible, and it is making the World Cup worse for its presence. It is slow, clunky and unpredictable, which are all the criticisms that were highlighted before it became part of soccer’s biggest tournament for the first time. Yet all of those factors could be overlooked if it wasn’t for the real whammy. VAR is wrong. Like, half the time.

USA TODAY Sports has counted 12 incidents of borderline decisions where VAR usage was relevant. Six of those cases were widely considered to be correct, with six being highly disputed and incorrect in the eyes of most observers.
Which, given that a referee has at least a 50 percent chance of getting a call right himself, even if his eyes were shut, or he was facing the other way, or even if he had nipped out back for a crafty cigarette, makes it all a colossal waste of time.

Did a buzzer-beater leave the shooter’s hand before the clock hit zeroes?
Did a running back break the plane with his outstretched arms? Soccer’s version of this is whether the entirety of the ball crossed the goal-line. The mechanism for that was already in place, and most certainly should stay. As for the rest of it, we are better off taking our chances with the much-maligned – often unfairly and sometimes not – referees. Buda Mendes, Getty Images VAR comes into play in one of four distinct instances, which in theory are developments serious enough that they could have a sizeable impact on the game’s outcome.

They are goals (naturally), red cards, penalty kicks and cases of mistaken identity. The video assistant, placed far away from the action in front of a bank of monitors, can message the referee to stop play if one of those situations occurs.
Conversely, if a referee is not convinced in his own decision or was unsighted, he can refer the matter to VAR for adjudication. The first time VAR was used at this World Cup, it fared rather well. Portugal defender Pepe went to ground in a challenge with Spain’s Diego Costa, and Costa went on to score. The replay showed Pepe’s dive to be both unwarranted and theatrical, and the goal correctly stood. A day later, though, VAR messed up for the first time, wrongly penalizing Australia’s Josh Risdon and awarding a penalty kick to France’s Antoine Griezmann.
Other failures include England’s Harry Kane being manhandled in the penalty area against Tunisia; Cristiano Ronaldo being denied a penalty against Morocco and Denmark’s Yussuf Poulsen being caught for a handball that could not possibly have been deliberate. Ante Rebic got away with an awful stomp on Eduardo Salvio’s shin against Argentina, then later went on to score Croatia’s critical first goal, while Aleksandar Mitrovic was denied a PK for Serbia against Switzerland, while being clearly wrestled to the ground by two defenders. “What are those guys doing up there?” Serbian soccer federation vice president Savo Milosevic asked reporters, and he makes a good point.
The problem is that soccer decisions that need replays are far more likely to be open to interpretation. A replay can show that there was contact between two players in the penalty area, but at freeze-frame speed it might not be obvious if the touch is like being tickled with a feather or being contacted by a truck. Most soccer players give a reaction appropriate to the latter case, no matter which it is. It is all a bit disappointing. After waiting this long to find definitive answers to controversial decisions, we now realize that such a wish is elusive. VAR is here and it would be better if it wasn’t. If it time for FIFA to rewind the clock on itself.
