VAR, not content with ruining football, decides to ruin Olympics too

Ballon D'oh!

Usain Bolt’s 100m and 200m golds across 2008, 2012, 2016

Cathy Freeman’s 400m in 200m.

Michael Phelps’ eight golds in 2008.

The Olympics are all about records, and Paris 2024 is no different.

An entertaining match between Morocco and Argentina was reaching it’s climax when, after 15 minutes of added time, Argentina scored a desperate, last minute equaliser.

Or so it seemed.

With fans of both nations entering the field with the game now at 2-2, the match was suspended. After almost TWO HOURS, VAR adjudged the equalising goal to be offside.

It wasn’t until 1954 that the four minute mile fell.

The two hour marathon remains a seemingly unattainable target.

The three hour VAR decision? With the football at the Olympics just getting started, we could be about to witness history.
