Understand that whole ball over the line is circumference of the ball and not the part touching the ground .....but ......in a normal game without VAR how the **** can an official call that?
Surely impossible.

In every football match ever without VAR that would be out. Except the Costa Rica v Germany game where the linewifie was miles behind the play and missed another one that was two ball diameters out.Quote:

These are not clear and obvious errors, they're just a human seeing what they see and making a split second decision and, for me at least and no doubt someone will disagree, that's what the game should be about; not some guy sitting miles away scrutinising every decision from multiple angles, including by the way in the case of the Japan goal angles that are there to make other decisions not whether the ball has gone out for a goal kick or not.
Referee, two assistants, VAR, Assistant VAR, second assistant VAR, VAR tea person and the guy that checks the door's shut properly all involved - absolute nonsense.
