These decisions are so important (even more so in soccer compared to other sports) that VAR was needed for a long time.
My only issue is that it never makes much sense to me to have the ref on the field being the judge. Do it like hockey where it is viewed at a central location in Toronto. Nobody cares if it's a bunch of faceless guys making the decision compared to the guy on the field. Even in the NFL they have it wrong. Having the main official march over and look just takes too much time.
And I hope that people are smart enough to realize that it won't be perfect. Perfection will never be achieved. The idea is to minimize the glaring mistakes. And it will do that. Even with the incompetence of some of these MLS officials.
agree to that. They should have a time limit on the review. If it can't be determined in 1 minute (2 minutes max) go with the call on the field.
the list of revqiwable items is very small. Per NYT article reviews In USL only happened every 3 games and took 1 min 20 per review although they are expecting more often in MLS play.
It is bizarre to start mid season.
