Brilliant start for VAR this weekend. Way better system than FIFA had during the Confed Cup


Also interesting:
  • Hoffenheim had a shot on the crossbar that bounced right down onto the line, but hawk eye didn't see it crossing the line. Goal not given, correctly, as was easily to see off the TV images. Interesting here is that the argument was kept short after the ref simply pointed on his wristband indicating that there's nothing to argue about with goal line tech not recognizing it.

All in all great impact, little time loss.

Oh yeah. Absolutely brilliant start for VAR. So brilliant that the DFL issued a press release saying that they consider the performance inacceptable.

https://www.dfl.de/de/home/video-assistent-am-ersten-spieltag-hawkeye.html

On Saturday, in three games the VAR system didn't work, either partially or not at all. In no game the offside line was available. "Talks" with supplier Hawkeye to be held.

wasn't an issue though, the problem with offside came from Sonys cameras. VAR itself was very good. The overall performance was also not labelled inacceptable by DFL, just the offside issue was. But it wasn't needed so they dodged that problem and everything else worked. Generally it was an absolute improvement to the game.

The DFL happens to disagree with your assessment. Saw their representative on Sky. He was pissed off to no end.

They have to, it's their mistake and they'll have to look bothered when it comes to fixing it.
Even with offside cams partially out of order I found nothing but overall improvement. Rarely enjoyed a matchday without major referee mistakes.
