  • Hot take here: in addition to VAR and the above measures, having more officials. Taking this from the NFL where officiating is not the best but there is no crowding of the refs and the officials are looking at plays not involving the ball. This includes:

    1. having both linesmen on both halves

    2. having officials along the goal line to detect fouls/hand balls in the box and specifically to see who the call came off of so that the correct call of goal kick or corner kick is more likely to be correct

    3. Possibly having a ref for one half of the field and one in the other half of the field in addition to the main ref for the entire pitch. That way if they see something off the ball they can alert the ref (VARs job I know but the whole Bruno Guimaraes elbowing Jorginho in the back of the head was also supposed to be caught).

    Yes this might seem crowded but there are more eyes to spot off the ball incidents and seeing who the ball comes out of play off of.
