  • Americans get a lot of unnecessary derision because they insist on calling football ‘soccer’ etc so I wouldn’t want to exclude Americans. But it has to be on merit otherwise what’s the point?

    The point of my post is that arbitrarily limiting a position to those with a specific nationality, necessarily limits the quality of those in said position. So if an American is good enough sure, but if they’re not going to improve it then not a chance.


  • Afraid I’m going to have to disagree here… Though we might be able to find common ground. My issue with players in VAR is that almost every pundit is a former player and they consistently come out with biased, inconsistent, and often objectively incorrect information.

    Where I think there’s more scope to reflect your point is in giving ex players a role in IFAB’s development of the laws but I wouldn’t want them anywhere near VAR.
