These are issues that soccer refuses to address. the running clock and adding another ref onto the field. So much time is wasted that soccer is pretty much a 70 minute game. VAR is a good step but not enough.

Yesterday you could see that the ref was fussy, wanting to be involved and calling everything. Sometimes you would see the attacking team get 3 or 4 fouls in a row and move 20 yards. Kaye was on a yellow, he was hot, he plays on the edge. The Costa Ricans with their experience knew this, knew the ref was fussy and got Kaye into a situation where the ref was conned.

Herdman should have taken Kaye off. If not after the VAR review, then after Kaye lunged into another Costa Rican player before the incident that got him sent off.
