The Crying Belgium Fan Saved by VAR: This World Cup Has Everything

[Rob72]

ESPN reported on a Belgian fan who was caught crying on camera after Iran's Taremi appeared to score and looked to have put Iran ahead. The goal was then disallowed by VAR for offside. The fan went from devastation to relief in seconds. The camera captured every moment. It went viral. Belgium still drew 0-0. The fan probably went home equally devastated but that brief VAR-induced moment of salvation is one of the small human stories this tournament keeps producing alongside the big historical records. This World Cup has Messi breaking records. Lightning storms. Cape Verde stunning Spain. Belgium finding new ways to not score. And one fan who lived an entire emotional journey in about ninety seconds.
