Are they using goal-line technology in this world cup, or just VAR? The reason I ask is that the ppgoto the BBC has put up 'prooving' the ball has crossed the line, does not actually prove it at all.
Which reminded me of this from a couple of years ago... it sometimes is all about the angle you view it from.
(As I said, I'm not watching the game... it could have been well over. I was just curious about whether goal-line technology is in use.)
Both
Thank you... in that case, it sounds like the Japanese players are being absolute nuggets.

There are comments on the BBC that give the impression that players on both sides may have mixed up VAR with goal line technology. The silly sausages
I think they did. Cheating to query it. It was clearly over even in real time from that distant main camera angle.
Yes, I know it was deliberate handball, so award a penalty. That is an appropriate punishment - it is very likely to lead to a goal. If they don't score, that's their fault. Back in the day, as schoolboys, we were coached as full backs to cover the posts, and if it was going in stop it my any means possible - there was always a chance they'd miss the penalty.
The fact that Suarez is an unpleasant tosser, or that you particularly dislike him, has no bearing.
Too much information....................
Now it's time to LAY the draw.

Yep, you could clearly see he scooped it back towards the goal line, then covered it up with his gloves, the cheating snide. Outrageous that he then got in the refs face to try and deny it was in. And catastrophically STUPID, given that everyone knows that there is now irrefutable goal-line technology, plus about 24 cameras in the stadium that can all show everything in minute detail, and all in super slow-mo. Plus another camera on a cuffing WIRE hanging over his head. What an absolute wankpuffin.

Colombia are very open at the back in this half, gifting opening after opening, against a mediocre eleven.
Shirley better to defend in large numbers negatively to take to point, leaving a couple of pacey players only to counter?

The double jeopardy rule applies to cover accidental fouls that deny a goalscoring opportunity (ie a penalty but no red card).
However, a player can still be sent off for serious foul play, violent conduct and deliberate handball. The ref was absolutely right to send off the Colombian for blocking that goalbound shot with his arm.
My guess is that not all the players realise this........ some footballers are monumentally thick

Agreed. Watching a poor Japanese team dominate, due to the extra man, in a bitty one sided half.
A shame that the Colombia idiot handballed.
