How? The decision VAR made was correct, the only thing that was wrong was that the VAR official said check complete (because he thought the onfield decision was goal) instead of decision goal
Because you're focusing only on the VAR, which is why I specificied "overall".
The on-field decision was incorrectly "offside" and VAR confirmed that to be correct.
VAR can't have been correct when, by your own acknowledgement, they didn't actually know what they were checking. On its own, that is staggering incompetence.
The fact that neither VAR or the on-field official confirmed what was being checked and what the actual decision was just adds to the incompetence.
This is such a strange hill to die on.
