    VAR was looking at a possible penalty? 2 more minutes of stoppage?

    Scott had to do way too much today. US wins 2-0 and are now in third place.

    In which case the USA, Nigeria and Ukraine would all advance anyway. 4 of the 6 third place teams will go through, so the USA should be ok.

    I don't see any way the USA doesn't go through with a win. But winning the group would be best.

    Yeah US should be OK, but it would better if we finish 1st. Easier knockout game.

    Don't think so, but I'd have to ask someone who understands the protocols more than I do

    Because that game wasn't played with the new Laws of the Game, unfortunately. The U-20 WC is playing under the 2019/2020 Laws, which require a dropped ball when the ball strikes the referee and has an effect on the game (change of possession, scoring opportunity, etc). I gotta look it up for the precise wording.

    Honestly, this shit is exactly why Dr Joe is kept around, but apparently he still sucks at his job.

    From the summary of Law changes document:
    "If the ball touches the referee (or another match official) and goes into the goal,
    team possession changes or a promising attack starts, a dropped ball is awarded"

    The game was obviously called from a closet somewhere and the production did nobody any favors. I almost felt bad for anyone watching trying to judge what was happening. It has become part of a broadcast to include a graphic of a potential VAR moment, but unless in-stadium, it can be very hard to know what is happening without reviews or good shots of the officials.

    Good point. Doesn't do any of the commentators any favors, I'm sure.

    What is the communication between VAR and the broadcaster?

    In this case, I assume it's handled by FIFA somehow. MLS uses Slack from what I've heard.
