TOKYO (Reuters) - Former England midfielder Frank Lampard backed the video assistant referee (VAR) technology but wants opinion of the match officials to prevail in 'grey' situations. "Moving forward, I think we have to be very careful how we, how much we let go to technology," Lampard said at a soccer event in the Japanese capital. Matches between England and Germany have seen several controversial decisions in the past including Lampard's disallowed goal in the 2010 World Cup and Geoff Hurst's goal in the 1966 World Cup final. "Things that are not black and white -- things that are grey, things that are opinions -- we need to leave that to the referee. Lampard, who started his career at West Ham United, established himself as one of Europe's finest midfield players during a 13-year spell at Chelsea.
