Argentine Primera División

A game between Lanús and Vélez Sarsfield gave us perhaps the most random, yet funny use of VAR we’ve seen yet.

When the game was 1-1, a cheeky attempt from a Lanús player to nutmeg resulted in a scuffle in the beginning of the second half.

Nothing too out of the ordinary for soccer in Argentina. Or so we thought.

After going through the replay, the VAR called the referee to take a closer look at what had happened.

I don't think the game has a more audacious plan of action than the corner kick that's aimed at — rather than the forest of limbs and heads gathered in the area — a solitary loner stationed outside the box.

The ploy requires perfection on the delivery. If it's inaccurate, the opponent wins possession and the counterattack is on. If it's accurate but without pace, the opponent rushes out, closes down the shot and the counterattack is on.

Yes, it is that time of the year. The 2021-22 season is still rolling, but we are already starting to see some of the jerseys you are going to love — or hate — during the 2022-23 campaign.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich were two big European clubs unveiling their new home kits, but Werder Bremen and a few teams from South America also shared some fabulous polyester goodies. 

Of course, you want to see them, so take my hand — or don't — and join me in this adventure.
