VAR seems to be getting a lot of praise in this tournament and it does seem to be working more smoothly and less intrusively than it does in the Premier League. From what I've heard, they have a specialist VAR team for offsides and another for red card incidents/penalties, etc. Not sure if that is contributing to how much better it has been, but it could be an avenue to go down for the leagues.
We’ve seen a few examples of the type of handball incidents that would typically lead to a penalty in the Premier League but have been waved away here. I know that has more to do with the rules as opposed to VAR, but they kind of meld into one.
Also, shout out to the refs. I think they’ve generally been excellent, with one or two exceptions. They seem to allow the game to flow a lot more which I think has contributed to some good games. There also appears to be a general intolerance to some of the more bullshit actions you get from certain players (diving, etc) which is nice to see
Anyway, what do people on here think of the officiating and VAR implementation at these Euros?
