Japan just scored a screamer

 

Does Japan or Germany go on if results hold?

 

Not only should Simón be saving that but he shouldn't have caused the initial attack to develop in the first place.

 

Oh fuck off linesman.

 

Ball was out. Damn so close for Japan.

 

Jesus that’s heartbreakingly close but probably out

 

Definitely out of play.

 

dont they have a million hawkeye cameras, why is this taking so long

 

Omg he's given it!

 

How can VAR be this advanced and still that poor? You can see grass on the other side of the line!

 

is it like with corners where the ball could not be touching the line but as long as it's over the line then it's still in play?

 

That definitely looked out

 

I wonder if @orangehorizon has seen all the drama unfold. He's committed to the German cause.

 

My brother pointed out that green grass doesn’t mean it’s out of the end of the ball is still over the white

 

Maybe he doesn't want to know he's going out as it stands...

 

...even worse, Costa Rica just scored.

 

TICOS!!!

 

i think the widest part of the ball is probably in play/above the line despite the middle of the ball having grass between itself and the line

 

Yeah it's overhanging.

 

Ok now I'm rooting for Costa Rica to score again and send both Germany and Spain home.

 

If Costa Rica score again that loss by Japan will be the biggest 3D chess move

 

This angle doesn't look like it has any overhang

 

I get the whole "the widest part is still in play" thing, but like... I don't think it's ever been called that way in over ten years of watching this sport.

 

how do they not have an image from the hawkeye cameras like they do for tennis
