You couldn't scrap VAR at this point. It's just too necessary - with instant TV replays... can you imagine the outrage over a huge missed call...

well, I guess we can still can with VAR, but you get the idea

it just needs to be fixed

There is no way of fixing it enough. The cluster fuck and outrage at bad decisions has never been this bad.

How long have you been watching football? If you want to see a cluster fuck of bad decisions, check out the lower leagues or historical games.

You are being deliberately hyperbolic.

I'm guessing you never saw Nigel De Jong kicking Xabi Alonso square in the chest during the 2010 World Cup final?

That happened after 28 minutes, and the Netherlands ended up coming within 5 minutes of taking the match to penalties. The referee's failure to show a red card could easily have cost Spain victory.
