In the quarter-final clash against Argentina, the referee initially booked Leandro Paredes for a foul, but VAR intervened, ruling no foul occurred—and instead, Embolo was guilty of simulation. The result? A second yellow, a red card, and a stunned stadium. While VAR’s new “mistaken identity” rule is designed to fix player misidentifications, this case showed how the system can still bend under pressure, even when the offense itself was misjudged. The call, though technically flawed, echoed a previous game where diving punishment was celebrated—possibly influencing this high-stakes decision. It’s a wild reminder of how complex, unpredictable, and human officiating can be—even with the latest tech. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
