Link of video review for a penalty call in action they tested it in the game between Kashima Antlers and Atleico Nacional
I know people are gonna say it took to long and slowed down the game and the solution to that would be to have the review call come in faster but then you open the door to rushing which could lead to a mistake maybe they could set up a time frame where if they video review ref can see it was obviously a bad call within like 20 seconds of the original call then go for it but if he cant in that time let the original call stand, have the video ref be able to speak directly to the head ref. I think there are ways they could do a review without cutting away like show the call the other ref is reviewing or something.
At least they are testing it to see if it can work or not, id rather them test it than just say **** it why even bother.
EDIT: found some other examples of it in action in different situations on reddit others may have not seen.
