Honestly, Sane, Mitoma and Doan put you to the sword just by being capable of running really fast. That does not bode well, especially when you project to face Leao in the QF and either France or England in the SF....
FIFAs VAR quality has dropped but conclusive evidence that…
… Germany are out.

The view of the linesman doesn't change the physical position of the ball
That's why it went to VAR and not the linesman to have the final say
I see. Guess we deserve it then. Ha!
People still don't get it why ball was in? Ffs people
It was a tad risky but the end justifies the means.
The linesman have a good angle when they're at the corner spot, that's not the issue.
The issue is that they have to watch the ball through the goal net and potentially masked by a post. That's almost impossible for them to see if a ball is out by 2 or 3 mm 30 meters away.
Come on, use some critical thinking here.
Glad to see the caf brushing up on their high school geometry.
Spheres. How do they work?
Spheres. How do they work?
The side view is the one we've always used. Sticking a camera over the ball to give a different perspective is nonsense.
Consider this: linesman actually flagged for goal kick. Without VAR, Germany are through right now
Wait what witchcraft is this? The ball has changed from an Adidas to a Mitre.
It doesn't matter one bit how you look at the ball. Where the ball is matters. And its circumference still touched the line.
This is FIFA revenge for standing tall with our mouths covered.
Why do these brainiacs keep tweeting these things as if their realization that a football ball is in fact a sphere is some sort of groundbreaking discovery. Everyone fecking knows that it was just hard to see.
Top down view shows it's in though.
Which is precisely why it went to VAR. Are you being deliberately obtuse?
Subbuteo is more accurate than ITV.
Brilliant angle analogy.
Can they play in midfield 2?
It doesn't look good, no
You play to the whistle not the linesman, goal would have still stood.
Is there seriously people here who think that spain was in control? Maybe they were in the last 15mn once germany had a 4-2 lead, they weren't before that, they just sucked at attacking.
I assume you didn't study mathematics or engineering at school.
Because people like Neville and other pundits don't understand what is a sphere and all other shit.
Oh boy.
Are you trolling?
Fecking hell, astounding the amount of people on social media who don't know how camera angles deceive and that the ball has to cross the line with it's full volume and not just physically not touching it.
The point is these decisions haave always been adjudicated from a side view perspective. Suddenly we've decided to take the view from over the ball, because one angle may show the ball possibly in.

A flat earther.
Nope. Call on the pitch was goal kick
They will be using square balls in 2026 so that these over-the-line decisions are easier to judge.
Souness. Eyeroll. Pity to see Germany out. I like the Japanese women’s team, and this team is alright. Spain were slack. No conspiracy for me, at least not from Spain. I don’t know if that ball was out; looked it. Actually there have been a lot of weird calls of sideline balls that weren’t out in this WC. Fair play to Morocco!
