VAR has been controversial since its introduction. With improvements expected by 2026, will it finally be accepted or still disrupt the flow of the game?

VAR kills the emotion of instant goals

It's more fair even if it's less exciting

The issue is inconsistent usage not the tech itself

Feels like the right read on it. This feels like one of those topics where the longer term effect matters more than the daily noise.

I will keep following it.

That is pretty much what I found too. That is the sensible starting point.

Management decisions in big games are where titles are won and lost.

Agree completely, preparation is everything. I always do a test run on something less important before committing to the main job.

Let us know how it turns out.

I have seen that go wrong in practice. A lot of guides overcomplicate it, usually one or two sensible changes do most of the work.

Give it a go and report back.

Worth checking the small print before committing. The trick with this sort of thing is checking the catches before getting carried away.

Worth a look if you have not already.

Home advantage is still massive despite what people say.

That matches what the more reliable sources are saying. I will keep following it.
