Crebs Crem of Zagreb, Croatia asks...

First of all, thank you very much for your answers, and yes, I assumed that VAR system is in use. Even though the assistant referee raised his/her flag, can VAR and the match officials on the pitch contact with each other, discuss about the situation...

Matt of Bristow, VA USA asks...

Not a question but more of a statement on the necessity for consistent, proactive officiating. I am in no way faulting the center referee for his actions because I likely would have done the exact same thing. However, having seen this, I think I le...

Derek of Cary, IL USA asks...

Steve Debus of Crofton , MD USA asks...

As a follow-up, I understand the AR making the call was disciplined, but the rest of the crew should also have been able to overcome the clearly wrong offside call. How did the CR, other AR, 4th official and VAR not ask the question of how you can ...
