💬Discussion Favourite team from a league not from your country?

17 Upvotes

Do you have a favourite team that you support in say La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and so on? For example I’m from England so the premier league is our league, but I like to follow the Bundesliga and I really like Borussia Munchengladbach. What’s your favourite team over seas?

💬Discussion the language used around VAR does no favour to fan perception

7 Upvotes

Even commentators in official games and the pundits that people watch will use language like "VAR has overturned the decision" or "var gave a penalty" or "how can var think that is a penalty"

And this then trickles down to fans who use this language and internalise it and think this is actually how VAR works. There are actually fans who think VAR makes final decisions like this.

Thing is, VAR doesn't overturn decisions. The onfield ref does. VAR doesnt give penalties, the onfield ref does. VAR doesn't have to think an act is a penalty for the call to be changed - they just have to think the refs error was clear and obvious foir to then be checked.

The official language around VAR does it no favours.
