Santa, the ref is entitled to think the Argie was looking to go to ground. He did not miss the incident, he was right there. He had no interest in a review. I like that, even though i think he got the decision wrongNo, these two were both clear and obvious with the replay.
If the ref says no foul and then the replay shows it was a foul - it is a clear and obvious error. You keep trying to defend this VAR indecision with the clear and obvious line... these were clear and obvious.
You mention minimal interference in the other thread. What is the point if the VAR is not going to act on clear and obvious errors at goal/no goal situations. Is VAR going to actually start to take decisions and start to work in the knock outs... or in the final group games...
And I've just watched the France VAR call. That is not as clear and obvious as the other two examples. Bizarre.
