DAVID LAZOr of LEESBURG, VA United States asks...

Mechanics 3/9/2023

Petr of Prague, Czech Republic Czech Republic asks...

Thank you. The VAR assessment is a bit strange. Imagine that there is an attacker A15 alone. A15 shoots wide. Then VAR seems to be silent. Everything changes defender B8. A little unfair, it seems. :-)
