The problem I can see with that is a lot of players deliberately kicking the ball toward a defenders arms, knowing full well that, if they get lucky, they'll get a penalty.

I do like VAR but for me the one flaw it has is, if this World Cup is an example, it's going to make 'Accidental hand-ball' obsolete !

the penalty decision is a joke - framce player gets a touch and hits Perisic whos about 2 yards away, on the way down from a jump - shocking decision by the ref (not VAR)
Also a shocking decision for the first.....and I was surprised that VAR didn't look at Pogba being offside from teh Griezmann free kick?
I shouted it straight away when I seen the first replay - was in a packed boozer though - so was he offside?

For what it's worth, I watched the match with about 20 (French) mates. About 75% of them didn't think it was a penalty.

I don't think you can become active until the ball arrives and Mandzukik's touch played him on anyway.
I've just looked at the goal again and I'm not sure he was behind the defender. More in line with him, unless he can score with his arse.

Pogba made an attempt to play the ball, which makes him active- so hes offside (if indeed he was initially) - I expected it to be looked at closer, but seemed to have been brushed over

I expected to see a camera angle side on with the (hopefully straight) VAR lines

exactly, what the **** is the defender supposed to do, the french player ducked as well, and don't get me started on the griezman diving, horrible little cheat, sometimes the players forget there's 40 cameras watching absolutely everything, shameful behaviour
