It seems to me VAR has taken away more goals in the past two days in the champions league than actual good goals have been scored

I don't mind VAR for determining whether a player was offside prior to a goal being scored or if there was a handball that leads to a penalty kick, but I don't like the use of VAR for looking to see if a foul was committed after a great buildup to a goal.

Can you bet on a goal getting overturned by VAR?

Whitecaps needed 4 games on the OOTS to go their way last week to control their destiny - and got them all.
Then proceeded to shit the bed

I'm not sure how accurate the following is, but it's tough to win when you're in the bottom 3rd of payroll in the league.

How long will it take him if he scores 60 goals a season?!

Benfica's a really good team this year. They might even spend some money in the winter and make a legit push in the CL.

But PSG, even without Leo for one leg, shouldn't be drawing them both home and away. They also should've just let Mbappe walk if all he's doing is sulking in the room and asking for a transfer barely 4 months after signing his insane new deal.

Yeah, agreed although Mbappe has scored 19 in 20 (or something like that) this season. Surely ZERO chance of him going anywhere until his latest contract is up.
