Germany v Korea

[Ciley Myrus]

Korea bit over keen , 2 cautions so far have calmed them down a bit, nothing major to talk of as yet, ref doing well.

Mark Geiger giving PI cautions

rubbish first half, the ref has done ok

For a vital game, its dull

What's happened to minimising yellows? Very soft yellow 49th minute.

 

[one]

Plenty of contact but a well deserved caution for simulation.

Germany just cant do anything on the pen area

 

[Sheffields Finest]

Tschüss zu den Deutschen!!!

 

[Big Cat]

auf wiedersehen pet?

 

[Sheffields Finest]

GOAL..... Correct decision!!! OMG, IT WORKS

 

[Big Cat]

The good side of VAR for a change. Very difficult to see the German toe poke in real time

 

[one]

Now let's see if they add the time correctly.

 

[Sheffields Finest]

Start the VW!!!!

 

[GraemeS]

No way you'd expect a ref to spot that in real time, great use of VAR!

 

[Sheffields Finest]

Bye bye!!!

 

[Sheffields Finest]

That Keeper needs a new Korea!!!

 

[Ciley Myrus]

Oh dear

But yes, compared to the nonsense we have seen with VAR, that was ideal. Slightly confused as to why VAR could not 100% give it without ref going to the screen though? Or is that me not understand it again?

I don't think he had to go over. I just think it was such a big decision that he wanted to see it himself. It was going to be the goal that knocks out Germany. I'd probably want to see it with my own eyes too.

I'd like to know why too... I'm guessing it's to show the angle to the TV viewers, because knowing the commentators they would have presumed it was something to do with his positioning and not the touch.

There is how many in the truck including specialist ARs though if they are on the fence on that, its a bit off to load the call onto the ref?
