France get a goal wiped.... tough one, keeper and striker going for the same cross and these things usually go the keeper's way......
but it took 5 mins to wipe it out... which is the problem, of course.
it took 4 mins to get the ref to the monitor
both players injured in the collision which perhaps mitigates things, but I doubt that had much to do with the time it took. No need for the VAR officials to worry about the players... it gives them a natural break to review
and, of course, (as very quickly happened in cricket) there is now no need for the ref to make a judgement call because VAR can advise on whether there's a case for giving/ruling out. I reckon without VAR, refs give the keeper the benefit 9 times out of 10. She still has to make that call, of course, but now she has 5 mins to decide. Meanwhile the game comes to a standstill
