Clarificări IFAB, la două săptămâni de la Argentina - Elveţia 3-1: "Nu se impunea utilizarea VAR la simulare"

IFAB clarified that the VAR intervention during the Argentina vs. Switzerland match was incorrect, stating that Embolo's red card for simulation should not have occurred. The organization emphasized that VAR should not have been used to review a yellow card for simulation, as it was not a second yellow card situation. This decision has sparked further controversy regarding the officiating during the match, as it suggests that the referee and VAR officials made an error in their judgment.
