I guess there's no easy way out of the handball controversies... could some VAR decisions be referred back to a majority vote, back in the VAR viewing room itself?
Or should the handball laws be made clearer or stricter - that the penalty or free kick is never given if there is any doubt as to intention. But that's how it should be now really, so... I think the problem is about handball or intention, not VAR itself which seems to me to have done far more good than harm at this World Cup.
Shame it had to end in controversy, and Croatia must be feeling even worse than we were after the semi-final, and more justifiably, but....
Now the Great Show is over... it wasn't bad was it? It's been quite a ride!
Thank you, World Cup 2018. You were spectacular, atmospheric, thrillingly unpredictable. You were - just great.
We'll miss you...
