Explain? If the ball was fully over the line how was it in play? I'm legitimately asking, because do I have a misunderstanding of the rule?

If the ball was fully over the line then it wouldn't be in play. The ball wasn't fully over the line so it was in play

To me that is a questionable call. Obviously we can't change it, and maybe it's the angle, but... I dunno.

Assuming that's the frame where the ball is furthest out then it's still in play, but that's fair. Ultimately the call on the field was it was fine so it'd be on the var to find a frame where it was all the way out to overturn

Look!
I think the questionable call is playing defenders that let two goals past against both Japan and Costa Rica combined with forwards that need 10 attempts to score a goal

The call on the field was that it was not fine. VAR overruled the ref.

Obviously true. No one is saying Germany would've gone much further. Still, I think VAR is there to make things feel more technically sound, and I'm not sure it accomplished that.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I mean in this case VAR did make the game more technically sound in that it found the ball marginally in play and so let a lovely and also funny goal stand :shrug:

I'm still not entirely sure what the call on the field was tbh. It didn't come from the linesman but I didn't get the impression the ref called for a goal kick right away. Looked like there was confusion all around.

Either way, var got the call right which is what it's there for I guess.

Is this at least partially the result of only having one good German team since Klopp left Dortmund?

Bayern won the league the three seasons prior to Klopp leaving Dortmund.

Honestly I think they stuck with JLow for too long and that resulted in persisting with building the team around its remaining aging 2014 winners rather than focusing on the younger talent coming through. This Germany side very much looks like a team in transition, which I'd say is a step up from looking like an older, slower shadow of itself during the Euros.

Muller looks cooked though, dunno why Flick kept persisting with him

Did you book it? I hope not!

Not my fault we live in this hellish timeline.

I guess he analyzed what would be in the best interest of the stakeholders and from a management point of view, him quitting generates the most positive engagement.
