'he just anticipated there was going to be some form of contact.' ...
You got it Terminator... and made the most of it - he's learnt that from watching how other pro's work.

The ref will have told VAR what she has based her decision on. We don't know exactly what was said but if, for example, she said " the keeper has missed the ball, made contact with the striker, and I am satisfied that this is enough for a penalty" then VAR will only overrule and reccomend a review if there is something wrong with the reasoning. So if the replay showed that the keeper actually got the ball, or completely missed the striker, they would have recommended a review.

Since we can't hear the refs justification for decisions, we will never be entirely sure what is needed for a review. The solution to me would be wiring the ref up so that people can hear what is said, like in rugby.

Offsides and encroachment work differently because they are questions of fact, not interpretation. So if the replay shows a player offside then it will be reviewed.

I dont know about UEFA, but the FA said that they would not use VAR to check goalies stay on there line because of all the moaning that the anti-var group did about this during the women's world cup. That same group cannot now moan that mistakes are happening and VAR osnt working if they are the reason it isn't being used in certain circumstances.

It’s multi boarded because it’s a general point about something that’s just been introduced which could affect any team.

Didn’t think it would be that difficult to understand for anyone with average intelligence. I guess you’re not up to that level.....

Was the missed penalty the only penalty where the keeper came off his line?

Its getting so much attention just wondering if that's because it was the one that won it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The other ones, it doesnt really matter anyway if the keeper did or didn’t as they were all scored (as in, there was no advantage from doing it)

Fair enough Melts but what I want to know is whether they were checking that at all.

Was it a case of the officials missing it, or perhaps they were not even looking at that throughout the shootout?

A direct free kick is given by the referee if an opposition player carelessly, recklessly or by using excessive force “impedes the progress of the opponent [in control of the ball] with contact”; likewise if an opposition player “trips or attempts to trip” the opposition player.
----------------------------------------------------
Out of interest, what laws of the game are you referencing, as I can't find any mention of "control of the ball" in the current laws when it comes to direct free kicks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 12 differentiates between a foul and misconduct.

A foul is an unfair act by a player, deemed by the referee to contravene the game's laws, that *interferes with the active play of the game*. Fouls should result in the award of a direct free kick.

Where the act doesn’t interfere with active play, the offence is misconduct, in which case an indirect free kick can be (but doesn’t have to be) awarded.

It’s a good point, I thought they were looking to clamp down on it in particular but I don’t think VAR was looking at any of them

I was looking at Law 12 as well. I couldn't find the part you are mentioning.

Section on direct free kicks for example: https://www.theifab.com/laws/chapter/32/section/92/

It was only a friendly so I wouldn’t read too much into it

This is good point and I thight it would be re taken. The odds are so stacked against keepers now like cant touch woodwork have to stand in line etc they might as well just give a goal.

VAR is very good technology to aid the referee.
It will settle many close call situations.
Sure it can and will be misused....... but so also is the human eye, all the time!
I'm for VAR!

I'll remain skeptical until it can be seen to have improved the game.

I agree, I don’t think it’s something they need to be looking at at all tbh.
