Yep but you're still chasing the impossible. As I always expected, VAR has made the game far, far worse & actually leads to more Ref abuse. They should have just invested that money into properly supporting, training & recruiting referees.

Brilliant piece this. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39960798/forest-row-shows-refs-battle-adapt-demands-var-era

That's the crux. I've always said that at this level there's not a great deal between most first choice keepers. There's only a couple of top ones imo (Hermansen & maybe Cooper) & then maybe the same again who are probably not good enough & then the rest pretty similar but with different...
