So who actually made the on-field call that the Japanese 2-1 goal was out of play? The assistant ref is in a horrible position to see it, and also doesn't signal anything at all. The main ref definitely can't see it.

Funny how this goal is showing how “the whole of the ball over the whole of the line” is basically never the rule that’s actually played to anywhere on the pitch other than inside the goal. The pundits can’t process it.

Normal refereeing is they call it out if it goes 1mm over the line.

The AR would have had to make that call, would not have been the center ref. TV was saying AR put the flag up, but I never saw a replay showing that. That said, the AR only moved like, one yard up the touchline after the goal, so they were talking through comms about the play and I guess the AR said it went over the line.

Is this the first time VAR eliminated a team in the group stages like that? I dont remember it happening in 2018

Spain played 5-d chess and almost got sent home because of it. They just knew deep down, though, that they could rely on their friends in Germany. Truly, Friendship won the day.
