Not totally convinced by VAR but without it Canada wouldn't have got the first pen either. Not that it mattered

It's a general comment on VAR not the impact of VAR on this game.

If it creates more controversy than we had with referees and ruins the spontaneity of the game, is that worth getting a few more calls correct?

I think not.

Yes, the fundamental motivation was that technology would address human error.

The problem is that the technology is in the hands of human beings, who are simply making different errors rather than none at all.

The ref would have given that 2nd one as a penalty without VAR, imo. Instead he thought I'll let VAR to tell me to have a look, which they didn't.
