We need to talk about VAR.

That was…convincing. That unsightly 4-1 final score Monday night in Seattle cannot be blamed on a bad bounce or an isolated, unfortunate play. Sports loves scapegoats, but it can't be pinned on one moment or individual. Not even a Presidential appeal—and FIFA's stunning, last-minute reprieve of the red-card suspended Folarin Balogun —could tilt the action. No, the U.S. men's soccer team's loss to Belgium in the World Cup's round of 16 felt comprehensive. Wholesale. Convincing. Personal.
