Missing half their team and not used to needing to defend, no surprise.
Aye they were shite but any team missing Neuer, Boateng, Alaba, Robben, Vidal and Coman is going to struggle
Much lower chance of losing due to VAR than losing due to incompetent reffing though
Maybe, but I reckon the odds will be quite low for at least one team being knocked out of the competition directly due to a negative consequence of VAR. Probably multiple.
Not really sure why you think that. I could see teams feeling aggrieved by soft but correct decisions being made alright
Why I feel what? That there will be atleast one mistake that will cause a team to be knocked out?
If so I think it's pretty much a given, but we'll see.
I'm actually going to hoy a random figure out and say I'll drink my own piss if less than 4 teams are knocked out of the competition due to a negative consequence of VAR. Whether it be missing something for one side yet catching something for the opposition, or reversing a debatable decision that the ref had made only for the decision to still be debatable because - by the letter of the law - it's down to the referees interpretation. We now have about 10 referees watching the game each with their own interpretation of what is happening.
I'll hold you to that
