- How do you think the introduction of VAR has changed soccer

Sure! Here are nine different takes on how VAR has changed soccer:

"I think VAR has made the game more fair, but it can be a bit of a buzzkill when the game stops for ages while they check a replay."

"Honestly, VAR has brought a lot of drama to matches. You never know when a goal might get called back, which keeps you on your toes!"

"It's definitely helped with some of the big calls, but I feel like it slows down the flow of the game. Sometimes, I just want to watch without all the interruptions."

"VAR has changed the way teams play, too. They know they can’t get away with as much, so there’s less diving and more honest play, which is a plus."

"I think it’s a double-edged sword. While it helps correct mistakes, some refs still take forever to make a decision, and that can be super frustrating."

"For me, VAR has made the game more exciting because every close call has the potential to change everything. But I do miss the old days when it was just the ref's call."

"I appreciate that VAR is trying to make things right, but sometimes it feels like it takes away from the human element of the game. You know, the ref's instinct and all that."

"VAR has definitely sparked more debates among fans, which can be fun! Everyone has their opinion on whether a call was right or wrong."
