During the 2026 World Cup match between the United States and Paraguay, Tim Ream became the first player to benefit from a VAR check involving mistaken identity. Referee Danny Makkelie initially booked Miguel Almirón for diving, but after review, the decision was overturned in favor of Ream.

The International Football Association Board's VAR protocol was central to this correction. Fans and analysts debated whether the VAR intervention was handled correctly and its impact on the match's fairness.

The vote asks whether the referee's use of VAR in this case was the right call or the wrong call.
