The beautiful game, a tapestry woven with skill, passion, and unpredictable drama, has always been resistant to radical change. In today's time, the fast development of technology has brought about the biggest change in how football matches are officiated: the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). Since its full introduction, VAR has been a constant source of debate, lauded for correcting "clear and obvious errors" but simultaneously lambasted for disrupting the game's flow and generating its own brand of controversy.

Ruben Amorim believes Manchester United's players must accept responsibility for Sir Jim Ratcliffe's decision to cut another 200 jobs because their failures on the pitch have caused the crisis at Old Trafford.
United, which laid off 250 people last year, announced a new redundancy program on Monday as it seeks to cut costs after losing £373 million over the last five years.
And head coach Amorim, whose side is only 15th in the Premier League, believes the team is the "engine" of the club, stating that they must figure out how they got into such a bad situation.
Amorim, who has only taken 15 points from his 15 league games in charge, admitted that it is difficult for players and staff to see their colleagues on the verge of unemployment, but urged his players to focus on getting results.
He added, "It's always difficult for everyone. They see friends and teammates losing their jobs, but we need to focus on what I can do to help the club right now. I just want to help the club in my department by improving the team and the players so that they can succeed.
"We know this year was extremely difficult for everyone. We made a lot of changes as a club, and having a football team that is playing well and winning games makes it easier for fans and everyone to believe that the changes are working. But we are currently in a difficult period within the club and on the pitch, so we must fight against this feeling and do our jobs to help the team perform better."

United have underperformed on the pitch in recent seasons, finishing eighth in the league last season under Erik ten Hag, and are in danger of failing to qualify for Europe from the current season.
And Amorim said, "We as a club have to understand what we did wrong to get into this situation, so we need to think about solutions right now.
"We have to address all the problems in the club but one important piece of this moment is to understand how we got to this situation and it has a lot to do with the lack of success of the football team because we are the engine of any football club."
