    Totally not out, Anyone arguing that is out has no idea of the rules. There was nothing 'controversial' about the decision at all, the only controversial thing was it kicked ze Germans out. Pisses me off when an obvious, but close, call is blown up as controversial for clicks.
    Not fucking out, play on you fluffybunnies

        Who didn't know the rule?

        In soccer the line is in.

        It's just those who want the rule to be wrong.

            The unbiased bit is key. Players rarely argue with it now

              @Machpants it was definitely worth a VAR check though because of where it was and what it resulted in.

              It was fantastic drama as those two matches played out simultaneously and at various points who was in and who was out. I don’t think tonight’s games will have as much drama.

                i would have said that was a mile out, apparently the whole sphere of the ball needs to cross the line, not just at ground level though....

                  I sort of didn’t know the rule. I knew the whole ball had to be out but I thought that meant the part in physical contact with the grass and not the sphere of the ball. I doubt I’m only the person who didn’t have it all clearly worked out.

                    It's a poor angle. There's a reason they do goal line checks from above

                      I'm aware of the rule. The issue is the dependency on finding a camera angle that is inconclusive to rule out every other angle showing a clear separation.

                        I assume hawkeye is automated, as opposed to VAR or TMO. Perhaps they should try to program a computer to do it so no one can argue bias

                          Fantastic second half drama in both of the early matches

                          Good on S Korea for beating Portugal and qualifying

                          Great skills in the second goal

                            Love me a Serbia vs Swiss fixture. Pure grudge match between the Serbs and the countries they raped and pillaged. Not least Kosovo with Xaqiri and Xhaka

                              Well I didn’t think there would be as much drama as the previous night, but that Pool H finish did provide it. Sth Korea played excellent but they were still a chance of being knocked out in the 94th minute of the Uruguay and Ghana match when Uruguay were hot on attack.

                              Pool G, Brazil are safe no matter what, but all of the other 3 can still make it or get knocked out depending on results.

                                Serbia looking the most likely at this stage

                                  Nip & tuck and jockeying for 2nd place

                                  Serbia looking the most likely at this stage

                                  Quality defending is proving optional here. The second Serbian goal was shocking from Switzerland.

                                      The most blatant dive from the Serbian striker. How he doesn’t see yellow I don’t know.
