The criticism is mainly based on the fact that it takes far too long and the emotions that are football disappear when everything has to be double-checked in the smallest detail. The horror example is what happened in Norway, where the introduction of VAR has not been a success at all and now many want to abolish the video aid.

Nannskog’s words

Now the SVT expert surrenders Daniel Nannskog into the debate and comes up with a controversial statement about the much-maligned VAR.
– I think you can and should introduce VAR. But in that case, you have to beat the big drum and bring in the real VAR.

Nannskog has followed developments in Norway and knows what has gone wrong. He really understands the Norwegians’ criticism of the video system and therefore wants Sweden to do differently.
