FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

[Hound]

Delighted for Japan but their winning goal should never have stood.

The bizarre thing is that there can be grass between the ball and line, but when viewed from above the overhang of the ball is not fully over the line. That's what happened here. So seemingly correct decision, but the rule should be changed!

There must be mm in it.

Where is the image from above?

See link above.

Ahh sooo.

Somebody send that image to Souness, he's peddling FIFA conspiracy theories.

He must have had money on Spain topping the group!

Pic I got from other side, not above, the ball well out.

It's the same ball

The camera above the line shows the curve of the ball is breaking the line, right decision.

Souness is going to have another heart attack, raving like a balloon on TV

Had the games ended with both Japan and Germany on same points would Germany go through based on?

Spain would have had to score a goal to draw the match in order for Japan and Germany to end up even on points,  therefore Germany would have had a better goal average and ended up in 2nd place and into the last 16.

I don't think he had a heart attack before , but he had a bypass

Anyway , Had Spain equalised, Germany Would have went through

Spain are into Englands half of the draw which should make it tougher for England which is all that counts.

[David McKeown]

In real time I thought it was out but I noticed the linesman who was on the other side didn't flag. Also the ref seemed to wait before blowing his whistle. I wonder was this a case that VAR thought they didn't have clear evidence and so went with the on field decision.

Think England would beat Spain but hopefully France get there first in the QF. It's no handy run like they had in 2018 anyway

It looked like the Japan players also thought it was out.

In rugby union or league any part of the ball even touching the line is ruled out, am Happy Japan are through, they deserved it,
