The 2022 World Cup gets underway this week and bookies are giving odds on potential outcomes for the tournament.
It's 7/4 that VAR will overrule a goal in the 2022 World Cup Final this year, set to take place in Qatar on 18th December.
VAR was used in the 2018 World Cup Final where France beat Croatia 4-2 in Moscow, Russia.
France's second goal in the final came from a penalty that was awarded due to a VAR decision for handball.
