        That’s a horrible, helpless feeling as a goalie.

                    Alternately, they should never be permitted to play there until they take it. Like the Cup.

                        The VAR standard has actually seemed pretty high in comparison to MLS and other leagues like the Bundesliga and Serie A in that a few things that would be sent for OFR (On Field Review) haven’t.

                            Re: World Cup 2018: The best party money could buy (until 2022)!

                            And now that we're in the thick of things I can do this post...

                            Hello! It's your friendly neighborhood USCHO Soccer Referee! Are you new to soccer and have questions? Great! Are you not new but have no clue but act like you totally do? SierraTangoFoxtrotUniform! (You call it offsides I bet.) Well, I'm here to help!

                            First off here's a link to the Laws Of The Game. Why "The Laws" and not rules? Because it was written by Brits and they have a lovely way with overly official sounding language. Example: A shootout is not a shootout, it's "Kicks From The (Penalty) Mark" or KFTM or Kicks (technically it's "Kicks From The Mark used as procedure to determine the winner of a match")

                            "What's this VAR thing?" VAR, or Video Assistant Referee, is a referee that's in a replay room with a bank of monitors with every camera angle available reviewing things in the match while also being to talk with the referee crew via their audio headsets. In the World Cup he'll assisted by up to 3 AVAR, Assistant Video Assistant Referees (*ing Brits) as well.

                            "What does the VAR review?" From the Laws:
                            The use of VARs in football matches is based on a number of principles, all of which must apply in every match using VARs.

                            1. A video assistant referee (VAR) is a match official, with independent access to match footage, who may assist the referee only in the event of a ‘clear and obvious error’ or ‘serious missed incident’ in relation to:

                            a. Goal/no goal
                            b. Penalty/no penalty
                            c. Direct red card (not second yellow card/caution)
                            d. Mistaken identity (when the referee cautions or sends off the wrong player of the offending team)
                            So what's a "clear and obvious error"? Welp, that's up to interpretation to the referees involved. Generally, it'll be things that you'll see on TV that maybe the referee crew couldn't see otherwise.

                            "Offsides?" Ok first off, it's Offside. No extra "s". Basically, the second to last defending player (given the position of the goalkeeper it's usually the last defender but this can be different at times especially on things like corner kicks) is the blue line, or the ball is the blue line if the ball is closer to the end line. If any attacker has any part of their body, except their arms, past the blue line when the ball is kicked by a teammate AND they actually touch the ball before anyone else THEN they're offside.

                            "That's insanely complicated." Yes it is. I haven't even gotten into things like "deflection vs intentional touch" or "interferes with an opponent".

                            "What?" Don't ask.

                            "Ok... What are these Yellow and Red Card things?" Ah! Cautions and Send Offs! Yeah yellow cards are Cautions and red cards are Send Offs.

                            A player can be Cautioned for the following reasons:
                            delaying the restart of play
                            dissent by word or action
                            entering, re-entering or deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee’s permission
                            failing to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, free kick or throw-in
                            persistent offences (no specific number or pattern of offences constitutes “persistent”)
                            unsporting behaviour
                            entering the referee review area (RRA)
                            excessively using the ‘review’ (TV screen) signal
                            90% of the cautions you'll see will be for Unsporting Behavior, either for "commits in a reckless manner a direct free kick offense" or "commits a foul which interferes with or stops a promising attack except where the referee awards a penalty kick for an offense which was an attempt to play the ball"

                            A player can be Sent Off for the following reasons:
                            denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (except a goalkeeper within their penalty area)
                            denying a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent whose overall movement is towards the offender’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick (unless as outlined below)
                            serious foul play
                            biting or spitting at someone
                            violent conduct
                            using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures
                            receiving a second caution in the same match
                            entering the video operation room (VOR)
                            90% of the send offs will be for either "Serious Foul Play", generally for "A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play", or "Receiving a second caution in the same match". You might see one or two for "Denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal scoring opportunity" or as referees call it a "DOGSO".

                            In the US we referees are taught what are called the "4 Ds" when it comes to DOGSO:
                            Direction of play (the player must be moving towards the goal)
                            Number of Defenders (the defender must be the last defender)
                            Distance to the goal (i.e. you need to be close to the goal)
                            Distance to the ball (i.e. you must actually be able to play the ball)

                            Ok! Hopefully that answers some major questions!

                              Former referee myself. One of the announcers during the Peru game said something that caught me off guard.

                              He said the goalie is literally untouchable in the goal area. Outside of that he or she is just another player when it comes to contact. I don’t remember any such rule back when I was a ref. So I call bullish-t.

                              Your thoughts?
