The Ref Stop

why didn't the referee stop the game?

Two possibilities
- The referee didn't think it was a serious injury - Very poor judgment - she was out cold
- The referee thought there was an immediate goal scoring opportunity (not in law but common practice) - Also wrong. It created a promising attack and GSO came later.

Had a look at the highlights and all in all it wasn't a good day for the officials for KMIs IMO.

- Awarded goal disallowed for offside after VAR review. This was a tough one to call live.
- Awarded penalty was changed to DFK after VAR review - also tough but a FIFA experienced referee should have had this
- Non-awarded penalty was given after VAR review (which I don't think was a clear and obvious error)
- Goal scored after play should have been stopped for a head injury.
 
I don’t think the referee sees the player get struck by the ball. The referee’s movement has her back to that at the point of impact and her body language as the game develops gives no indication (in the clip) that she is aware the player is out for the count on the ground.

Then her assistants should be in her ear imo - no way they should be missing that
 
This was actually the second time in the match that she failed to stop play for a serious-looking head injury. In the first incident, a different Denmark player took a hand to the face from a German player that left her (the Danish player) flat out on the ground with blood pouring from her nose.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, "To miss one head injury is a misfortune, to miss two smacks of carelessness."
 
The rules analyst stated that the referee did the correct thing in letting play continue because 1) Denmark player hit a Denmark player and 2) Germany was immediately in a goal scoring opportunity.

Side drop ball question using this scenario....let's say Danish defender hit a German attacker in the face and the German player dropped like a ton of bricks, the referee saw it, and the ball went straight up in the air. Not clear who would win possession and the referee blew the whistle to stop play for the head injury. Who would get the drop ball? Laws say last to touch the ball, so would it be Germany since it hit the German player in the face last? It seems like the answer is straight forward, but I've also been told by a "mentor" that's it the team to last take a "controlled" touch. If that was the case, Denmark would get the drop ball. Thanks!

Not sure what the "rules" (laws) analyst is talking about. Nothing in the provision for stopping the game talks about which team kicked the ball or GSOs (it wasn't a GSO right away anyway) - simply that a serious injury should mean play is stopped right away.

Under this season’s dropped ball law, it would be dropped to a German player, as it was last touched by a German player. The only exception would be if it was clear as to which team was about to gain possession, in which case they get the dropped ball.
The "mentor's" view differs from IFAB's wording😏
