We can only see how it goes, no point slagging it off before it's even been put to the test in a tournament.

That video in the op is not displaying, partly because it looks like FIFA has blocked it from being displayed unless it's straight from the FIFATV Channel on Youtube. Cut and paste this link into your browser's address bar if you want see it:
Shumacher to this day says it was nothing more then an accident. Hmmm Battiston was out cold missing a couple of teeth and cracked ribs with Platini thinking he was dead. Just a typical case of six of one, half a dozen of the other...
I don't think they should be trialing it in a World Cup but hopefully it works well.
As I've said before, it HAS been trialled and there have been many controversies.
We'll have to wait and see but I'm not hopeful
Yesterday, Collina (The ex referee now works for FIFA) said that ARS have been instructed to keep flags down for tight offsides - because, as I've said before, you can't correct a wrong flag, but you, in theory, can one that has not been raised.
Big problem for me, is that FIFA have said only decisions 'leading up to' a goal or pen will be reviewed - who decides how far back you go to correct a 'missed'offside - who knows?
Human nature and common sense dictates, that ARS are far less likely to raise the flag now, especially given this instruction.
