*sigh* that again is because of the rules for VAR use this tournament

as VAR could only be called to decide for pens/offside/red cards/mistaken identities refs weren't allowed to show yellows based on VAR reviews

afaik one time in this tournament a player got a yellow after VAR had informed the ref of an elbow-situation and that ref probably got deducted a lot of points for that

edit: btw there is an easy solution for time wasting, football needs a stop-clock system

Which is stupid, if there is doubt and a video review is needed for a decision for a penalty and it is concluded not to be a penalty but in fact a dive, a player should be carded for cheating. It is part of the penalty decision after all.

The added time is what is meant to be used after VAR stuff, although in the final, after several minutes of France players complaining, a review and a penalty taking maybe 5 minutes to all happen, plus 2 other goals, only 3 minutes were added to that half. It's the refs decision after all.



Hmm, pie.
