It’s nights like this that remind me what I truly love about football.

Watching the pain of other teams.

COYS.

And very fittingly the word schadenfruede, meaning getting pleasure from others' misfortune, comes from germany!

There have been some bad decisions. But the out of play was not one of them. In fact, that may have been their best decision.

"May have" being the operative words. They haven't presented any evidence that the linesman's flag was a clear and obvious error. Surely it's not that hard, then the corruption talk ends.

Isn't there a sensor, or something, in the ball that tells the goal line tech it's fully over?

Surely they didn't just limit that to the goal line?

 

[Zest]

If I don't stop drinking soon I'll be looking at an overhang in the morning.

like that isn’t every morning, you spoonerist

 

[Ionman34]

There is no evidence showing it to be out, either. Besides from misleading angles that don't qualify as evidence.

Exactly. The on field decision was that the ball was out. The onus is on VAR to prove that the decision was a clear and obvious error. They haven't been able to do that conclusively as far as we can see, as they haven't shown this clear evidence.

They do it with the offsides, the ones they get right anyway.

This doesn't strike you as suspect, even a little?

Yep. Definitely inside the quad.

Yep. Definitely inside the quad.

Finally, an angle that clears it up. Did FIFA release that?

No, Furball man did.

Infantino _OUT.
Furball man _IN.

He may be the future, but tonight; he is history. :contesmile:

A still image like that proves absolutely nothing, other than the fact that someone has chosen that particular point in time to show us. We need to see the entire timeline (by the way, I believe the ball never entirely left the field of play, but a single image doesn't prove it).

Eventually - if it transpires that Germany were robbed - good

 

[SpiderSpurs]

So xG is a load of bollocks?! Who knew?

 

[Atomic knob]

In by a good inch.

Yeah, I hear that a lot.

It's a gigantic mountain of hipster bollocks. I presume people hire sherpas to reach some of their statistics.

That's in. 100%. It's probably more conclusive with a direct aerial/overhead shot.

 

[mummy]

Case closed - FIFA just released a new, corrected image.

 

[Football Chap]

Definitely looks in from that angle
