Yeah, that’s fair enough. Perhaps it’s better to say that no evidence has yet been provided which conclusively shows that it was out of play at any point.

In which case the benefit of the doubt should always go to the non-German attacking team

Damn I finally fucked around and found out in betting game (Ger/CR and Can/Mor) and team unders (CR) for goals today. Games seemed like crackers.

All Germany and Spain did was awaken a sleeping giant by going up 1-0 on Japan.

Nice to see old rivals sucking it up.

This would be amazing

Throw ins get called like this all the time. Ref sees green. It must be out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

No they don’t.

12 groups. Four top group winners get byes for first round of elimination play. EZ

It’s late can’t read

Still unfair to give 4 byes when all 12 groups are different

Just catching up on the games. Surprised people thought that Japan goal was good. They show a view from the side where it seems clearly out.

What’s the ruling if the part of the ball touching the ground is out but some of the ball is hovering over the line? Is that technically in or out?

Would Dest make the Netherlands squad? Would he start?

Just because you see green doesn’t mean it’s out

These guys are refs at the highest level. If it was clearly out they would have called it out.

This needs four 3 seeds to advance as well to get to 16 for the second round. 12 groups with 8 byes works out.
