Round of 16 | Switzerland vs Italy | Germany vs Denmark

[Spoony]

VAR needs to be deleted.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Just put your foot through it Havertz. Reminds me of the infuriating way Sancho would tamely hit his shots.

 

[calodo2003]

And he is allowed to in the run-up but not at the end at the ball.

Wait, stopping during the run up is allowed during the beginning of the run?

 

[lex talionis]

That handball decision is a lesson to every defender to get a manicure right before the game.

 

[Woodzy]

Oliver getting card happy, he’s lost complete fecking control here

 

[pseudo_canadian]

Need someone to deck Oliver

 

[Cassanata99]

A new low for football that whole pathetic sequence of events. Where’s the check to show havertz coming to a complete stop on his run up?

A player can stop and start during their run-up to the ball. A player must not stop or feint (pretend to kick the ball) at the end of their run-up – they must kick it immediately.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Oliver is hanging out cards like candy.

 

[Snow]

Yellow for showing emotion now.

 

[Lyricist]

2 teams want to play but the weather and Michael Oliver want their pieces of the pie.

 

[jadajos]

It is not forbidden to stop during the run-up to a penalty. I didn’t know that either, but it had been discussed already after Lewandowskis shenanigans in the group stage against Maignan who later mocked the rule on social media.

 

[BaguetteBoy]

Oliver is such a twat. Shouldn’t be allowed to ref again in the tournament

 

[Redderp]

The handball rules are so fecking dumb. Less than a meter away and a cross and they want players to have their hands behind their back at all times. Handball was never meant to be called like that before VAR…

This shit is ruining so many games…

 

[Adz_99]

While we're moaning about rules, they need to ditch the 2 yellows = miss the next game rule in tournaments.

A card happy twat like Oliver can completely spoil the next round.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Of course it’s the English officials making all the stupid calls

 

[Juice Juiced]

When the bosnian comentator says Oliver is losing his marbles, you know its bad. We have probably most corupt referees on earth.

 

[Keano1999]

It was a foul… I think he would have given it, had Kai made the pass…

I agree

 

[massi83]

Sick touch to get there, then the finish ee all expected. Good foul from the dane I suppose, can't give a red for that

 

[Ananke]

Once again, the great Michael Oliver managing to take Center stage and make this match about him.

God I hate him.

 

[90 + 5min]

I can understand frustration of danish players.

 

[hellhunter]

Why is the Foul on Sané not checked wtf

Outside of the box

 

[MDFC Manager]

Olivers ruining this game now.

Now?

 

[Someone]

And he is allowed to in the run-up but not at the end at the ball.

Really? All this time I thought you can't stop midway.

 

[TheGame]

The problem isn’t VAR. The problems are stupid rule changes and incompetent English officials

How the feck is it English officials??? They use automatic offside here and it shows he was offside for the first goal albeit very tight. By the rules of the law, the second is handball. No idea why people having a go at the refs.

 

[Precaution]

Michael Oliver has to be channeling his inner Mike Dean here, woeful ref

 

[Stadjer]

Pressure of the home country might be affecting Oliver or something. Every decision goes in Germany their favor

 

[njred]

Oliver is an attention whore

 

[Jed I. Knight]

Genuinely feel for the people who think VAR is improving the sport. Someone who hasn’t a history with the game will be watching this and think what the heck is this shit and move on.

I agree. The emotion of the game is what makes it great. They’ve killed that for the most important part of the game…:goals.

I believe in technology being used for the betterment of the game, but not purely for the accuracy of decisions. Because some decisions will always be subjective.

- I get behind goal line technology because it’s almost instant.
- I would get behind an almost instant offside technology.
- The rest of it is bollocks. I’m not against a penalty decision being reviewed once it’s been given, but the endless review of goals, meaning you can’t even celebrate, is fecking ridiculous. It’s something for the YouTube generation who only watch in short highlights anyway.

It seems so obvious, doesn’t it? Has to be a revolt against the current implementation of VAR soon. It’s just so fecking shit.

 

[Acrobat7]

Wait, stopping during the run up is allowed during the beginning of the run?

Of course. You are not allowed to stop during the shooting motion when you have reached the ball. But before that you can stop.

 

[redom]

VAR needs to be deleted.

Or severely limited, it hangs over every major event in the game and removes the immediacy of the emotions tied to those events.

 

[Pronewbie]

Can't. Physics.

Is that confirmed? Won't the metallic superstructure prevent it from happening?

heh

 

[2 man midfield]

When the bosnian comentator says Oliver is losing his marbles, you know its bad. We have probably most corupt referees on earth.

His ties to UAE need looking into. Plus the fact he’s a barcode twat

 

[AltiUn]

I’ll be honest, if that penalty decision happens for United I’d probably be claiming it tbh

 

[croadyman]

Denmark have to try and keep their heads

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Pressure of the home country might be affecting Oliver or something. Every decision goes in Germany their favor

You mean like when he referees City?

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Need someone to deck Oliver

I'll do he. He's just about my height. I'll deck him real good.

 

[Dominos]

The English refs AGAIN have fecked up the game with their inability to use VAR.

It makes me laugh that people think this would be any different under other refs.

The refs don't decide the handball law. You see far more of these pens given in CL/Europa than the premier league, soft handball pens are more of a European issue than it is English refs.

 

[Ayoba]

Love hearing Scholes for Denmark

 

[That_Bloke]

VAR needs to be deleted.

No.

 

[Maroon Lucifer]

Did they just draw a line showing him to be onside but somehow said it’s offside?

that's what I thought too. But I am watching this with Danish commentators, and I don't think they realized.
