VAR Controversy: Was Ghana Robbed of a Clear Penalty Against England?
Ghana’s manager, Carlo Queiroz, and several football pundits are adamant that his team should have been awarded a clear penalty against England in their recent goalless World Cup match. The controversial moment involved England’s Ezri Konsa appearing to foul Prince Kwabena Adu without touching the ball, yet VAR did not intervene.
The incident has sparked debate over the application and consistency of VAR at the World Cup, with FIFA’s higher threshold for on-field challenges cited as a possible reason for the lack of review.
