we only need to employ VAR if the referee thinks he needs it and that is all.
That's not how it works now, though. Just look at the penalty Sweden got against South Korea. The ref thought nothing of it but was told/ ordered to review it.
Personally I think it should be used on an appeal basis. There appeals per team per match. If it's inconclusive after review vthe ref's initial call stands.
A VAR decision going against the swiss? Ha!
The serbians should be furious, but they had it coming. They played nothing after their goal and the swiss were far superior in every single way and they deserve to go through.
My concern is their celebrations, both Xhaxa and Shaqiri made a mimic of the black eagle of the albanian flag. Sadly, politics and this stuff will always be part of the game.
