Concacaf World Cup qualifying typically has a little bit of everything. But there's one element that will be missing on the road to Qatar 2022, and it's one that doesn't sit well with U.S. men's national team coach Gregg Berhalter.
There will be no video assistant referee (VAR) throughout the qualifying process, despite Concacaf having it implemented in its other, recent competitions. The region's governing body has not stated why that's the case, though it stands to reason that it could be purely logistical, with not all venues necessarily equipped to incorporate it and thus none being able to utilize it.
