Do you seriously think they'd purposely feck with their cash cow and risk it tanking just to annoy FIFA?
Well, then as I said, a lot of these referees genuinely just don't understand the game then. I know that's a bit of a cliché but it's true
VAR is just highlighting this, I don't blame VAR.
There's so many of these offside goals getting overturned that anyone with even a basic understanding of the game would just not get involved with.
An IFAB representative politely tried to hint at this a few days ago that the premiership refs are over-using VAR when it comes to offside.
Then they go and overrule that Villa goal today because someone's heel was offside about two phases before the goal went in.
Think about it, the offside rule was brought in to stop players from gaining an unfair advantage.
How on earth is someone gaining an advantage when
(a) they are facing away from the goal for a start.
(b) the offside was millimetres and therefore irrelevant in my opinion.
and
(c) nothing even came from it, it had literally no influence on the goal, about 1000 things happened afterwards.
If some of these refs don't possess the common sense to just not get involved with incidents like this (there's been many others too obviously) then they shouldn't be officiating over the biggest game in the world, it's as simple as that.
