This will just be a way for refs to avoid giving reds, just watch. Players will get “punished” now for things they do, but not the appropriate punishment half the time. What should be a red will be a sin bin.

Maybe not the best, but Elneny vs Barcelona was pretty sweet

It will still be a game of millimeters with VAR. I don’t see it changing anything.

Sometimes it’s tough to compare when the rules have changed a good bit, the tolerance for certain styles of play and of course the quality/corruption of PGMOL. The quality of players seems definitely higher though overall and it’s exciting to see.

I got banned from r/soccer for pointing out the obvious here, so I’ll just grab my popcorn and watch the comments flow in.
