To quote the Goddess Brenda from Bristol
“Not another VAR!”

I wonder if the standby VAR’s will get their own camera moment
like the others. 😁

“For those who are asking: all the referees are still at the
World Cup; between today and tomorrow, those who worked solely
as fourth officials returned home; only after the quarterfinals
will the number of main referees and VAR officials be reduced.”
The list of Support Officials includes:
Sandro Scharer SUI
Andres Rojas COL
Dario Herrera ARG
Kevin Ortega PER
Ramon Abatti BRA
Juan Calderon CRC
Katia Garcia MEX
Oshane Nation JAM
Yusuke Araki JPN
Ma Ning CHN
Omar Al Ali UAE
Dahane Beida MTN
Abongile Tom RSA
Campbell-Kirk Kawana-Waugh NZL
Those in bold received a centre referee appointment.
This may be a longer list than reality, as we can see a few
supports being used at this stage still, however that’s a rough
guidance.

Here is the VAR Team for the World Cup Final, pictured with
their hub for the game!
For context, this is the new AF1 at an airbase in England

I'll resist the urge... someone else can take the chance if they
want to.
