Still spouting the 98.18% insult to intelligence
I get that it's a FIFA briefing, but its more like propaganda. A legend of a referee now tainting that legacy imo
That figure is in the briefing pack that went with it although it obviously doesn’t tell us which ones they say are wrong!I heard elsewhere there were only 8 errors following VAR--I'd love to see their list of what the errors were!

I don’t have a problem with the accuracy figure, the bigger concern is the nature of the use of VAR, which hasn’t seemed timely on a number of occasions during the tournament so far for me.

Much is said about the positivity surrounding VAR. Unless that's fabricated, they must be referencing nations outside the UK (and Cameroon ).
I've encountered a few people who are VAR advocates, but most referees and 'normal people' I know are against it. The general consensus being that its spoiling tournaments. So something simply doesn't add up

Qin Liang, the referee in charge of that Cameroon match, is one of eleven referees selected to stay for the quarter finals onwards. There clearly is a shortage of top female referees.
(It occurs to me that "drinking the kool aid" may be an Americanism referring to buying into something all the way and without reservation. (It has a gruesome origin in the tragic mass suicide of a cult by poisoned flavored drink--much to the chagrin of the Kool Aid brand, extra exasperating to them as it was actually a different brand of drink but their brand got linked to it.)
