Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.
FA's own ruleset is superior in this scenario, except with the use of VAR and correct decisions now more likely, it may become redundant
Example: If Neymar had won the penalty and the referee didn't overturn the decision, the FA can hand him a two match ban.
VAR can still be wrong though down to human error and refereeing consistency. I'd hope if the referee had still got it wrong after VAR and the penalty was awarded, Neymar would face a potential two game ban. Worth noting to my understanding, FIFA do not have a rule in place. Thus, a yellow card and no penalty would be the best outcome in this scenario.
