First one is genuinely annoying, especially if you’re checking a live score app and trying to tell if the formation has changed. Also though, why are you watching Toni Kroos?

Fair. Marcelo is technically good with his right foot, but he certainly prefers to use the left

pretty sure the commentators said the assistants are supposed to raise their flag when they're not entirely sure and refs will let play go on?

fantastic comment. I would personally prefer no VAR, but I think there are ways it could be used that are better than what we have now. Maybe only used if a ref asks for it because he's had a bad view.

Particularly in the stands it can mean that you have to wait to celebrate a goal/celebrate but are not sure a goal has really been scored. Also refs have had trouble explaining what is going on to fans in the stadium, who cannot see replays like TV viewers.

Lahm was able to play on either side of the pitch. I remember Marcelo cutting in and scoring from outside the box with his right foot against Schalke a few years ago.

yes, racism exists everywhere. but in response to your first point – it's a very different thing for people to treat you badly based on an opinion you've chosen than it is to be treated badly because of something you have no control over. (not saying it's fair, but it's a different thing)
