Rooney unhappy with VAR: 'Get rid of VAR!' after Sanchez goal disallowed

Former England international and BBC Sport World Cup pundit Wayne Rooney has expressed his frustration with the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) after Davinson Sanchez's goal for Colombia against Portugal was disallowed.

Sanchez, a defender, had scored what seemed to be a legitimate goal, but VAR officials determined he was offside by the slightest of margins—a toe. Rooney, providing analysis for BBC Sport, did not hide his disappointment, stating, "Get rid of VAR!" He believes such a minimal infringement should not result in a goal being ruled out and that the system is too strict.
