FIFA says video reviews have been 99.3 percent correct

AP, Moscow :
FIFA says video reviews are “close to perfection” at the first World Cup to use the system, claiming 99.3 percent of “match-changing” plays were called correctly.
Don’t tell that to some of the coaches still angry about a few penalties, fouls or cards that were or weren’t handed out.
The system has had a major impact, with seven penalties awarded using the Video Assistant Referee system. Two goals were given after being initially ruled offside, including one by South Korea that helped to eliminate world champion Germ any.
FIFA’s referee committee head Pierluigi Collina claimed Friday that 99.3 percent of “match-changing” decisions were called correctly at the World Cup – “very, very close to perfection” – based on assessments by him and other senior ex-referees. Without VAR, the figure would be 95 percent, Collina said.
