That's not to say the rules shouldn't be changed but it looks like the rules were applied correctly. As Clive and Ally were saying though, it’s the rules that are a mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen worse. It’s the rule that’s the issue really, not the officiating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanlineayr Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 VAR has absolutely shat upon elite/international football games. Also that's a great bit of skill by Havertz to then sclaff it wide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 4 minutes ago, virginton said: The Czechs got knocked out of this tournament thanks to the ball rebounding off the keeper and then an arm from 0.2 yards last week. Then they award that as a penalty to the attacking team. It's utter horseshit. The rule with the Czech one isn't the same as for that decision - any touch on the hand from the goalscorer is always a foul, deliberate or not. A terrible rule, but it's black and white with no room for interpretation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Surely you can't get a free hit to foul someone off the ball because the player with the ball had a shot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball is hammered at him from about a yard away. Not have his arms sticking out like that in the first place I’m no fan of this modern interpretation but it’s been around long enough that defenders should have had enough time to learn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Just now, Savage Henry said: That it hits sombody’s hand or arm is very rarely in doubt. It seems pointless. We’ve had plenty of situations where VAR has poured over slow motion replays, looking for a touch. This clears that up. Now, you could argue that if you can’t see a touch (or evidence of it, such as the ball obviously changing direction) then it shouldn’t be a penalty. Which is probably fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say the rules shouldn't be changed but it looks like the rules were applied correctly. This is entirely the wrong attitude though. Chopping and changing the rules every other year because IFAB says so does not make that penalty decision correct in any sporting sense. If the rules are changed next year it doesn't reinstate Denmark into this tournament - or the Czechs to the group stages. VAR has contributed to the bogus idea that football is really about litigating how rules are applied, rather than actually interpreting rules to punish legitimate fouls and/or cheating. Most decisions are and should be subjective. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it feels like handballs are a black and white rule altogether in elite level football now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
