There were four instances on which video review appeared to be used, and a fifth on which perhaps it should have been. The referee didn’t seem to call anything, but then went to the sideline to confer with video review. FIFA has voted to use video review in the World Cup in Russia this summer, and that smells like big trouble. In a game in late March between England and Italy, video review awarded the Italians a penalty kick and allowed them to salvage a 1-1 tie in the 87th minute. These leagues seem to view video review as either progress or some kind of panacea, but it’s neither.
