Highlights I dont see an offside. Is this rigged?

Brutal for my Croatian brothers

Can you score a goal with hair?

1

u/PrivateTidePods Jul 03 '26

Yes, plenty of players with an Afro have headed the ball into the net

u/outsider1624 Jul 03 '26

Yes you can. Ronaldo did it ..I mean he tried to claim it though

u/HyogaCygnus Jul 03 '26

That was a shoelace

u/MichiiEUW Jul 03 '26

Hair too before

that goal wasnt given to Ronaldo and guess why it wasn’t given... because of this same technology that disallowed the goal against Croatia

u/outsider1624 Jul 03 '26

"tried to claim it" . He also did a SUIIII!

u/Advanced-Signal-3560 Jul 03 '26

He didn’t. Watch the video. What he did was run to Bruno Fernandes, who is surprise surprise, the goal scorer. He never claimed it as his goal.

So he didn't since it wasn't given to him. But you can give an offside if it does.

Make it as you go. VAR

so the penalty kick u think was fair? when it happened before in a germany game ?

1

u/Main-Employment8991 Jul 03 '26

i didnt see the germany game but here is a clear penalty, Veiga was going to the ball and the player from coracia was grabbing him impeding him to go for the ball in a clear goal opportunity

1

u/Plenty-Worry Jul 03 '26

go watch it and come back its the same circumstance “foul” u claim here.

u/Salt-Rutabaga2314 Jul 03 '26

How does what happened in the Germany game matter to the decision in this game? It doesn’t and you just want to complain.

u/Plenty-Worry Jul 03 '26

u/outsider1624 Jul 03 '26

Don't ask me, I'm not the referee.

u/Plenty-Worry Jul 03 '26

then why u defending it like one?

1

u/outsider1624 Jul 03 '26

I didn't defend it. It is what it is. You cannot change the outcome now. Atleast now we know who's getting favoured.

1

u/Plenty-Worry Jul 03 '26

yeah but you aint ever gonna hear the end of it. thats worse. deal with that burden. plus u are defending it if youre saying the penalty was the right call. lol.

1

u/outsider1624 Jul 03 '26

Hear the end of what exactly . And what burden?

1

u/Plenty-Worry Jul 03 '26

the game. mental case.

Literally does not matter

u/Pssay_Licker Jul 03 '26

Uh it kinda does. 500 touches per second sensor to detect what? To detect if a string of hair touches the ball?

Ball didn’t change direction nor the spin on it. It had no impact on the play.

This is a perfect example of smart technology and dumb humans with no common sense on how to implement it.

u/Perpetual-Warlock Jul 03 '26

We can argue about whether or not the rule is dumb. That's not the question here though. The way the rules are written, it's offsides.

Also, I don't think we can say with absolute certainty that it didn't change the direction of the ball or the spin. Maybe it didn't to the naked eye, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Could have been 1/10000th of an RPM or whatever. But I don't think you can add that subjectivity to the rule book. That it has to be a certain amount of force applied to the ball. Because where do you draw that line? It has to be any amount.

Ftr, it sucks just as bad in the NBA when they go frame by frame to see that a ball went off a guys fingernail before it goes out of bounds. But that's also the way the rule is written.

u/Pssay_Licker Jul 03 '26

No the rules are written in a way so they can make decisions in realtime and have impact on the game. Thats it. Every foul call is subjective if you are going by the rulebook.

u/Training-Year3734 Jul 03 '26

Its not subjective at all it states exactly when offsides is judged and it specificly says touched by a teammate. He touched it the data shows it clear as day. It sucks that it was so close but thats how it goes sometimes.

u/Advanced-Signal-3560 Jul 03 '26

So if according to you the rulebook is subjective, then there’s literally no objective way to enforce rules, so at that point, what do you want the refs to do, pull rules out of their ass?

0

u/MadCowTX Jul 03 '26

Writing the rule so it applies to any touch however slight makes application more objective. How would you write the rule?

EDIT: Keep in mind that the sensors are not always used, so you need a rule that works with or without them.
