He was. But Spurs getting sensible decisions from VAR counts as luck for me

The defending player was deliberately and actively moving his body toward and in front of the ball in order to block it when the ball was struck. How does that not amount to a playing of the ball? He’s moving with intent to do so whether or not it’s hit his foot, or made a kicking motion. It’s not as though he were standing still and the ball glanced off him, that’d be understandable.
Not only to decide he hasn’t don’t anything but that it’s clear and obviously so is such a sham

Relax mate it was a joke. Absolutely no offence was meant. Nothing you wrote annoyed me or I doubt annoyed anyone else either.
They changed the rule, so that the player has to be able to react and intentionally play it.
No one even noticed it deflected in real time.
I said this the day of the draw:
It's only a matter of opinions but I don't see how Group B is better on the whole than the one we're in. Atletico are the only "glamour" club in there and they play more defensive than we do.
MOTHERFUCKING VAR!!!!!!
Was decent limbs beforehand though.
Then VA cunting R gets in on the act.
Not good for the old blood pressure Tottenham Hotspur.
Still fully COYS though.

That's not the rule. He has to be making a deliberate play of the ball. Blocks/deflections don't count.
Losing despite being the better team is unfortunate; but not outside of the confines of the rules.
Being deprived of a perfectly good goal by bad officiating is a proverbial "robbery" that occurs outside of the confines of the rules.
One is sentimental; the other is literal.
oh fair enough.
And the spontaneous emotion is why we all fell in love with football . VAR is treading on rocky ground
I still remember watching Pep’s face
Classic
Even better when Andy Goldstein posted Cunty’s reaction on Talkshite shouting “look at his little face” as we know his head is far too large for his body
Priceless
Blocking the ball not if it just hits you but if you move towards it yes.. Maybe.. Who knows.
It's a fucking EL level group at best, might not be literal farmers but if we're anywhere near the level of side we think we are we should have topped it at a canter.
That's not arrogance, it's realism.
OK, so why was this goal given?

"Anthony Taylor made a correct decision based on the existing law and its official interpretation," said Roseti. The goal stood"
"France striker Mbappe was in an offside position but was played onside after Spain defender Eric Garcia made slight contact with the ball when he stretched to intercept Theo Hernandez's pass."
"The goal - which won France the Nations League - stood because Garcia's touch created a new phase of play with Fifa's rules stating "a player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball... is not considered to have gained an advantage"
WHAT IS GOING ON???????????????

We got the toughest pot 4 team and a decent pot 3 side. Only notable thing is we got the weakest pot 1 team.
The 3rd place team in Belgium lost 0-4 at home today and is still leading that group.
Per club elo rankings, Group B is way behind Group D.
What about a deliberate block? Is that deliberately playing the ball
Same VAR official today…
