“We’re in first place in MLS of VAR, for sure,” Caps coach Marc Dos Santos said to laughs after Tuesday’s training session at UBC.In each Whitecaps’ game this year, penalty kicks, video reviews or a combination thereof have played a part in the Major League Soccer outcome.
“I know a lot of people probably don’t agree, but you’re asking what I think, and me, I think it’s a penalty kick.” 📺 // The Definitive Angle: #PRO’s analysis of the week’s #VideoReview use in #MLS >> https://t.co/Sd5pJUhLPR. pic.twitter.com/rPm1s4haU3 “But we have to remember these are still human beings working in the operations room that are working the software, the hardware, and they’re the ones we’re relying on to make a judgment about whether something is or isn’t a clear and obvious error in a pretty subjective sport.”Webb said of the seven video reviews involving the Caps in 2018, six went against Vancouver, and one for. That’s not an error rate; that’s the outcome of the calls.
“It’s those situations where we’ve gotten it clearly wrong where I would have loved VAR as a ref to be able to say ‘I think I’ve got that wrong, I think I’ve made a real mess there, can you get me out of this mess?’”
