The same thing that saved Germany has just knocked the team out of the 2018 World Cup

During the 2018 World Cup, I noticed that many goals were scored during the final stoppage time. I collected data on stoppage time from previous World Cup tournaments and the goals scored in those extra minutes. The data showed that the introduction of VAR was stretching games beyond anything seen in top European leagues, turning stoppage time into a decisive factor that was shaping which teams advanced.
