The World Cup has lost its appeal for me. I like football. Sometimes I'm interested in club football and in some phases less so. But the World Cup was always a big deal for me ever since I was eleven...

This is also happening in club football honestly.

VAR allowed to fix many issues, but brought new ones and added a layer of discretion that was previously for the referee only and now is for a larger crowd of people. I have seen number 3 happening too many times, with the VAR going back more than a minute to find anything to disallow the goal. Crazy stuff.

Also, number 4 is beyond absurd. I've been following football since I was young, an I have never ever seen a red card removed. Never.

Clown show.

What I also don't understand is this huge leeway the referees have with fouls. The very same foul can one time be "acceptable physical play" and another time a serious foul. Strangely this discretion call has so far always gone in favor of those rough Argentines.
