VAR, Fantasy Soccer and more- FIFA’s Technological Revolution.



The FIFA 2018 Russia is one of the most unpredictable and distinct version of the tournament with teams like Germany getting thrashed out of the series and Argentina struggling its way to stay in the tournament. This year the tournament got technologically revamped as VAR or the Video Referee is introduced in the tournament for the first time to decide the fate of the teams. However, this is not the only technological edge that this tournament got over other sports like cricket that is known to use Virtual Umpire or the system of Third Umpire which is similar to video referee team. Certain other tech stuffs that are popular this year are listed below.  

Video Assistant Referee 
The Video Assistance Referee is certainly the first thing that comes to mind when we think about the technological revolution of FIFA. Goals can now be validated by a recorded video to check if the goal is to be given or not. This is absolutely a new phenomenon in FIFA as the tournament never thought it to be necessary enough to employ a team of experts to meticulously analyse the match, judging the ball from every angle to check if the attempt to score is legit or not. Undoubtedly, Virtual assistance or video assistance is not that new in case of other sports especially in cricket where the shots and deliveries are required to be thoroughly probed under cameras to calculate scores. It is probably because of the complexities of calculating scores in games like cricket where run-out, length of bowling and hundreds of other factors are need to be calculated and these might not be visible to the expert eyes all the time. Soccer, or as known as football everywhere except in USA, on the other hand has rules simpler than this the big white globe just need to get into the net. Nevertheless, complexities indeed arose and curb this, the VAR is introduced. Now, not only the team technicians and experts but even audience can thoroughly analyze each decisions of the referee on field.  

FIFA Fantasy Football League 
‘Fantasy sports’ has taken the level of virtual gaming a notch up. Fantasy Soccer or Fantasy Football is basically how every ardent fan can participate in the game without actually participating in the tournament. Fantasy Football offers a win-win situation for the fans as players can not only participate in the tournament but also win real cash. Here is how one can play fantasy football. The player need to create his team by selecting players who will participate in the actual live match and you will earn points according to how your chosen players will perform in real life.  

Facebook Messenger 
Never let the excitement of the tournament die out. Chat with FIFA stickers that are available in the Facebook Messengers. Although this is not new and Facebook stickers have been there in the previous World cup, like in 2014, but the fun associated with it never gets over.  
  Alexa World Cup Skills 
Alexa too proved to be a boon for the fans of this world cup. Now you can ask the Alexa speaker anything related to Football or regarding fantasy football and she will provide you with the best possible answer. Also, Alexa can keep you in the know with up-to-the-minute updates as the tournament happens. 

Surely, the FIFA 2018 tournament is nothing less of a wonder.
