Michael Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 This should be a cracker of a game. But no Mbappe, as his injury prevents him from starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Frimpong latches onto a through ball and gets a shot off and forces a save from Maignan early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted June 21 Author Administrator Share Posted June 21 Been boring since half time. Quite cagey. No clear cut chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 If it takes that long to work out, it's obviously just a case of killjoy refs taking any opportunity to use a subjective rule to disallow goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcanuck Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 That's a terrible call, not impeding the keeper in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Right decision to disallow the goal. He's definitely in the keeper's immediate eyeline which is gonna affect how the keeper reacts. Easy decision in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 21 Subscriber Share Posted June 21 My only hope is that English referees aren't invited to the next major tournament and that maybe then the penny will finally drop with PGMOL that they've got a problem. Lol, who am I kidding . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely in the keeper's immediate eyeline which is gonna affect how the keeper reacts. Easy decision in my opinion. Would be nice to know why they think he is impeding the keeper? The keeper sees the shot, knows where the ball is going, because he moves in that direction. i don't believe it's his eyeline which is impacted here. Maybe they feel the Dutch attacker prevented the keeper from reaching the ball? Highly subjective anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted June 21 Author Administrator Share Posted June 21 View from behind the goal changed my mind. Initially thought the on-pitch ruling should stand, but when you see the distance of Maignan and Dumfries and speed of the shot, the goal should stand for me. If anything Maignan's own defenders are 'in his way' from blocking the sight of the shot. Harsh to disallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I think they've disallowed it. The major problem here of VAR in general. Is that they look for reasons to disallow the goal.

Inverted Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) If he had dived in that direction and Dumfries physically blocked him, of course give the offside. But he didn't move at all, he was totally wrong-footed (not by Dumfries) and was never going to save it. In which case, its just a case of referees looking for a reason to interfere with the game.
