Tunnel Vision and the VAR Paradox The Manchester derby controversy has raised questions about the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system's ability to accurately assess offside positions.
The recent debacle, in which a crucial goal was awarded due to a glaring error in VAR decision making, highlights systemic flaws in the current system.
One striking aspect of this incident is the way the VAR team became "tunnel visioned" on Erling Haaland's onside position, completely overlooking Enzo Fernandez's offside offense.
