Monzanator 3,569 Posted June 22, 2018 #2851 Share Posted June 22, 2018 People need to lay off on VAR. It's the new punchbag for any team that loses a game. Fans blamed refs before now they blame refs AND VAR. Our commentators said that Mitrovic's playing style was his undoing and I agree. He looked for so many cheap folus that when he actually got fouled, ref had none of it. That's a classic crying wolf scenario here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crying wolf scenario or not, Neymaring his way through the game or not, that moment where two Swiss players pulled him down as if their lives depended on it was a very clear penalty and that's exactly the kind of thing VAR should take care of. Yet another reason why, in my opinion, using the VAR should be partially in the hands of the teams. As in, give both teams 1-2 uses of the VAR per match/half, which they get to keep if they are right and they lose if they're wrong. Much like in hockey.

So congratulation to Swiss fans and Swiss team on well deserved win. Refree was awful, I really don't know what is the point of VAR system when refrees still made catastrofical mistakes? And about some Swiss players, I am proud we don't have such players in our team. Even we never qualify for any big competition It's better to have such fans or what? Shaqiri and Xhaka celebrated the way they did, because they were booed by serbian fans for having an albanian background. I am not surprised you didn't mention that, it perfectly fits the way you have commented in the past about things like that. Many serbian users on here have given some very "weird" comments about things like that in the past, but only if it concerns Albania/Kosovo. If it concerns Russia or Serbia, then everything is fine. I don't know if the serbian people on here represent the view of the majority of serbian people, but that certainly would be very sad.

Please name those mistakes. Brych is one of the best referees in the world and Urs Meier (i know he is swiss, so he clearly doesn't know what he is talking about ...) said that Brych did a very good job.

Thankfully his questionable decisions didn't make a major impact on the result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
