OSLO, Norway -- "You're here to talk about VAR?," Mykle, a pint of lager in one hand and jabbing his finger with the other, said. "It's all bulls---: nobody wants it here."
This is Norway, ranked the seventh-happiest country in the world earlier this year by the World Population Review, and usually a place where life occurs in relative serenity. But VAR (Video Assistant Referee) has given many Norwegians something to get angry about. So angry, in fact, that they have taken to disrupting professional football games by throwing objects onto the pitch in what have become almost weekly protests against VAR.
