How well Video Assistant Referee (VAR) works


FIFA has mentioned that they have insisted the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system has been successfully perfect in the whole of football game.  FIFA also state that during the group stages of the Confederations Cup, six "game-changing" decisions were made with the help of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in addition to another 29 "major incidents".
            Unfortunately, some players and coaches have showed low impressed about the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) because they are complaint about the time taken to review decisions and the way that causes confusion in referee decision and brings a halt to the play.
            Furthermore, although the referee in football game use Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for making a correct decision but it not fully guarantee the referee.  Mostly, all the decision still refers to the official judgement of FIFA.  For examples, that was an issue in the final, when Chile's Gonzalo Jara appeared to elbow Germany's Timo Werner in the face but was only shown a yellow card even after a review in Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
            Besides that, fans also have criticised the length of time it takes for some decisions to be made using Video Assistant Referee (VAR).  Since then, German and Italian top league have come accustomed to using video referees, with the Bundesliga adding another assistant to help analyse decisions and speed up the length of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) on making decision.
            Last but not least, FIFA also stated that when you play a World Cup qualification game and that game is decided by a major error of interpretation by the referee, which can happen because they also human beings like everyone else who makes wrong decision sometime.  They also stated that when the whole world has seen it in just a few seconds but the only one who has not is the referee not because he does not want to but because he is forbidden from seeing it and could be corrected.
