Refereeing errors have always happened and in the history of world football, several clubs have felt injured by referees. Here in Brazil, it's no different and for this reason, VAR arrived as a kind of "solution" for the mistakes made by the whistleblowers. However, it is unanimous among clubs, coaches, players and managers that the Brazilian VAR is below what is seen in other football centers.

The problem with the Brazilian VAR is one of concept and training, and not of technology, said former referee Renato Marsiglia, participating in De Primeira.


According to Marsiglia, the CBF VAR is guilty of excessive interventionism in the work of the field judge. The former referee explained that the tool was designed to correct factual and indisputable calls, but has been used to "replay" matches.


"What we see is that there [in European football], They interfere much less, but it's not a question of technology, it's much more a question of concept, of training, when you should interfere, when you should support the referee's on-field decision, when you shouldn't enter. in matters that are of interpretation, everything is a matter of concept", said the former referee.

"The issue of VAR is between the chair and the equipment: there is a human hand and here VAR interferes. Too much, it interferes in matters of interpretation. It was not created for that, but for those clear, obvious, unquestionable moves that ethics reject and that even the fan of the injured team agrees with. This is the objective of VAR, but it interferes. expanded, perhaps due to pressure from the media, fans, the technical committee, the clubs, and the VAR started to replay the game in Brazil", concluded Renato Marsiglia.

Brazil ended its participation in the Paris Paralympics this Sunday (8) with its best campaign in the history of the competition. According to the objective established by the Brazilian Paralympic Committee, the Brazilian delegation in Paris broke the record for medals in a single edition of the Games, with 89, achieved the highest number of golds, 25, and secured the unprecedented top 5 in the medals table.

It was not easy to secure fifth place. After spending the first few days among the five best countries at the Paralympics, Brazil came to occupy eighth place in the medals quarter at the end of Thursday (5), four days before the end of the Games. But from Friday (6) recovery came. With four gold medals won, Brazil reached seventh place and came up against France and Italy, which would become the great opponent for fifth place.

Medal after medal, Brazil and Italy fought for the top 5 in the table of medals. On Saturday (7), Brazilian athletes secured the country's best day in the history of the Paralympics with six golds, three silvers and seven bronzes, and sixth place in the classification. With such a performance, Brazil surpassed the 72 podiums and 22 gold medals from Tokyo 2022, achieving its best campaign in both categories.


However, it still lacked a position in the top five. The Italians had 24 gold medals, one more gold medal than Brazil, and slept in fifth place. That would change this Sunday morning (8).


In the first events of the last day of the race, Brazil won two more gold medals and overtook Italy. First, Fernando Rufino was champion in canoeing, winning gold in the 200m VL2 and leaving the countries tied. The race also had another Brazilian on the podium. Igor Tofalini finished in second place and took silver. Then, in the event that would bring the top 5 to Brazil, Tayana Medeiros broke the Paralympic record by lifting 156kg in the 86kg category and took gold.

Italy did not win any competition and no longer competes in competitions. Thus, Brazil guaranteed its best campaign in the history of the Paralympics. The great Brazilian highlights, as usual, were athletics, which reached its 200th medals won, and swimming, with 36 for the first and 26 for the second discipline.

Fred was one of the most annoying, whiny and complaining players who played on Brazilian fields. “I know there was a vote among the referees. The player who complained the most, annoying as hell, you (Fred) came in second place”, said Diego.


“I was one of the favorites to take that trophy there”, agreed Fred.

“Do you know who came first?” asked Diego, immediately responding: “Nenê! "Himself. Nenê cried, Nenê is a crybaby, a complainer. Felipe Melo, me, you (Diego Ribas) too, you a lot. I was there in person, like that. He pretended to be polite, we said it wrong, you talked about education”, said Fred, making Diego laugh.


In the post, Diego opened a poll among his followers who could indicate their favorites for the boring trophy.
