Everton manager David Moyes believes corner-kick routines have become like wrestling, with referees ignoring "dark arts" for too long. He stated officials should be stricter to stop jostling during set-pieces. World governing body FIFA backed expanding VAR to quickly review decisions, including corners, for the World Cup. Nevertheless, the Premier League is not anticipated to adopt VAR technology for corner kicks, as various leagues have articulated their disapproval of any proposals that could lead to longer stoppages.
