VAR system is horrific. Rossi's arms were likely only up where they were because the Sydney player is pushing down on his shoulders. In any case, he's clearly being fouled, so it should not have been a penalty.
Just like in rugby league, the video ref is getting shark wrong and ruining the flow of the game.
Who knew that would've happened! (sarcasm)
No doubt the A-League will continue forcing this upon us though.
It ruins the flow of the game even more in football. In league it's only used when a potential try has been scored, so play has already stopped when it's called. How this is set up, play goes on for half a minute before it gets called back to stop the game. Phoenix actually could've scored when broke away before VAR was called, which I assume would then be disallowed and go back for penalty at other end.
