No VAR on keeper's encroaching next season,at least not initially,this could change over time.

I'm curious if the officials will be brave enough to give a VAR decision against one of the favourites during the KO stages.
Hypothetical situation USA-France QF,0-0 with a couple of minutes to go and one of the teams vehemently appeals for a spot-kick.
Or equally any of England's latter stage games if they make it that deep into the tournament.
I noticed watching the England-Japan match last night,that both sets of defenders where ensuring their hands weren't raised,in fact at one point Lucy Bronze placed her arms behind her back when the winger advanced into the penalty area for Japan,clever wingers/full backs will cotton on to this and use it to their advantage.
You have to have sympathy for the Scots,their 1st WC,and ever VAR decision went against them.particularly in the Japan game,stonewall handball for a pen,and bizarrely not given by the on-field ref,or by VAR which is why the whole system was introduced in the first place,to correct clear and obvious errors.
