    I must admit, that I have not watched a single game of the 2022 Qatar world cup, so I couldn’t have told from memory. I had to look it up, and apparently the world cup first started using VAR in 2018:

    It is still a manual review process, though, so I am pretty sure some wrong calls still slip through if the referee decides not to use the VAR because they think their call was accurate.
