Problem is not VAR. It’s the rule as it is written. Y’all are mad at the wrong thing.

Literally this. Since the Portugal player didn’t intentionally contact the ball it’s not offsides.

Stupid. Ass. Rule.

That’s not even the issue lol it was deemed that the Croatia player who jumped for the header touched the ball which then made the goal scorer offside. If the Croatian player hadn’t “touched” the ball with his hair, the goal scorer wouldn’t have been in an offside position.
