I don’t think he touched the ball. The ball didn’t change direction and I don’t think the spin of the ball changed with the way it was rolling on the pitch, which is the clearest sign if the player got any touch to the ball. I would have 100% given the penalty.

You would have given pen but ref didn't?
Just saw slow motion of it and whilst he did not touch ball the attacker wasn't fouled either he appeared to lift his foot up to catch defender after he was passed him then he fell over! Var is suppose to sort out fact from fiction but refs don't seem to know difference?

The ball changes direction as the player slides to it. That is either a slight touch by the player or the spin on the ball.
If the decision is not clear then you cannot give the penalty.
The referee didnt originally give the penalty VAR flagged up a apparent clear mistake.
Then in the Argentina game they didnt give a clear penalty and didnt even review it ?
The system is flawed and shouldnt be used at this level until they work out how to use it properly.

I'm confused now because the ref did give the pen? There was clear contact on the attackers leg, he may have left his leg there waiting for the contact, but that's just clever play. 100% penalty for me, I agree with the ref and I think the VAR helped achieve the correct decision on this occasion.

And apparently Peru pen tonight was dubious according to news report . Trouble is will it start making decisions for refs because today it is overturning what refs have decided when it was not clear and obvious mistake which is the criteria they're suppose to use it by,

The Peru penalty was a clear penalty. Poulson took his trailing leg. As Gary Lineker says, VAR is making the game fair. If VAR was used for our games last season, we would have been a minimum of 8 points better off. VAR will also stop the biase towards the bigger clubs and London clubs against us with decisions next season.
It's a good thing for us, VAR is improving the number of correct decisions per game and is making the game a lot fairer for the less favoured teams. I don't think Burnley had a single penalty last season for example, so VAR will definitely help ourselves, Burnley, Huddersfield etc from getting shafted by the officials so often.

I'm not fully up on the rules I'll admit it but based on that it'll soon be at a point where a defender won't dare make a tackle.
