These countries have now had VAR for 2,3,4 seasons now, and it is starting to get better. Where in England, it's there first season using it, so there was always going to be this many mistakes. However, in an England vs rest of the world with 1st season of using VAR, I have to say that England has been the worst so far. I would say about 75% of the decisions that co...
