VAR, VAR, VAR.

But if referees are incompetent to begin with, another, closer look merely enables refs to confirm their incompetence. Which is what happened in the DC United-Cincinatti game last night when Baldomero Toledo called a handball in the box that wasn't overturned with the VAR review.

PENALTY: Paul Arriola is whistled for a handball in the box

Penalty conceded by Paul Arriola (D.C. United) with a handball in the penalty area.

Who was #3? Looked like he might have been the perpetrator.

Should have been a foul on the dudes tackling Bradley and Altidore.

I agree the US guys were also being held. But I do think Bocanegra committed a

No way, man. Go to 1:35. The defender has Bocanegra in a headlock and takes him to the ground.

I'm just saying I can see why the ref saw it the way he did.

I cannot see why he did, unless you are including incompetence or corruption

VAR has helped a ton though.

I agree. VAR is absolutely essential. And it wasn't intended to get everything
