Players claiming a VAR replay after every innocuous challenge? It's getting very tiresome, the refs need to crack down or it's only going to get worse in the knockout stages.
Yeah I think the horse has (predictably) bolted on teams not asking for VAR, as mentioned on the other thread the best thing might be to give each team a fixed number (1 or 2?) challenges.
