England's Football Association (FA) is doubling down on its support for video assistant referees (VAR) despite growing backlash, as Premier League clubs prepare to vote on scrapping the system next month. 🚨
FA CEO Mark Bullingham called VAR a 'good thing' during FIFA's annual congress in Bangkok this week, stating: \"We like matches with as few mistakes as possible… it’s helping eradicate errors.\" The tech, introduced in 2019-20, remains divisive due to game delays and disputed calls – think of it as football’s most controversial group chat. 💬⚡
The drama escalated when Wolverhampton Wanderers pushed for a league-wide vote to abolish VAR after high-profile blunders. But Bullingham insists the system just needs \"fine-tuning,\" comparing it to a glitchy app update: annoying but fixable. 🔧📲
With the Premier League’s crucial June 6 vote looming, fans worldwide are split: Is VAR the hero football needs or the villain ruining the vibe? 🎭 Let us know your take! ⤵️
