Japan's team seemed really odd, felt like most of their best performers are on the bench.
Fuller should've made it 1-1!
Japan 1-1 Spain!
Simon is bad.
Japan 2-1 Oh disallowed.
Goal given! :wacko:
I thought it went out.
I’m sure that ball went out. :blink:
Just hit rewind to see the close up again and it definitely went out.
Bizarre.
Costa Rica 1-1 Germany! Holy shit, Spain and Germany both in danger of going out!
Musiala hits the post!
Musiala hits the post again!
Tomiyasu on for Japan!
Costa Rica 2-1 Germany!!! OMG
Wow :haha:
What are the odds Spain and Germany go through :lol:
Costa Rica 2-2 Germany, Havertz!
What a save from Navas!
Costa Rica 2-3 Germany, Havertz with his second!
2-4 Germany now after VAR intervenes.
Japan and Spain through! Wow.
Germany. :haha:
Does that Japan fan know they've gone through?
Fuck this Tournament, big load of shit much like the European teams playing in it
Looking forward to a Brazil procession where they win because they don’t have to play anyone big…
And Fuck FIFA for giving a goal when the ball had gone out of play
Croatia v Japan
Morocco v Spain
Germany. :haha:
Incredible effort from Japan. Don’t think anyone would have bet on them beating Germany and Spain to progress.
I don’t really give a fuck about Germany one way or the otherQuote:

Same bullshit four years ago one half of the draw was a wash out and that’s basically how average dross like Croatia make the final
Clearly in ##

It's not a camera trick :lol:Quote:

In the still above it is admittedly difficult to determine that but it is at least from the right angle. With all the goal line technology and chips now being in the ball, there should be no way they can get these things wrong. Pretty much everything else in football is subjective, but with this...it either did or it didn't go all the way over the line.
EDIT: For the lolz, I put the above into my trusty Paint.NET and drew a circle around the ball. You can pretty clearly see if you do that it's not completely over the line. I am presupposing that the still is the furthest to the right (as we look in that image) the ball went.

This is nonsense, utter and complete nonsense. Once there is clear daylight between the ball and the line it’s over
With respect, what the utter fuck are you talking about? Taking a picture from further away doesn't make two objects which don't overlap magically overlap.Quote:

Yes, IF you're looking from the right angle. Look, I took my boy's ball and overlapped it with our very stylish bathmat. Much more clearly overlapping than the incident last night.Quote:

BUT if you take a picture from the right angle you can see "daylight" between the ball and mat. But that's not how you determine whether the ball is overlapping the mat.
To do that you take the photo from right overhead. And from that angle you can clearly see it is:

Ghana v Uruguay, 15:00 BBC Two
South Korea v Portugal, 15:00 BBC One
Cameroon v Brazil, 19:00 ITV1/STV
Serbia v Switzerland, 19:00 ITV4
It’s not overlapping the map it just looks like it is, that’s the point I’m makingQuote:

Given we are talking about a football and not a parasol, the whole of the ball has crossed the line when there’s daylight between the ball and the line. Anything else is specious bullshit.Quote:

Balls are famously spherical (yes they are, Rugby). Which means that the part which touches the ground will obviously not be the whole diameter of the ball.
You can see that the green part to the left of the line and to the right of where the ball touches the "grass" would be visible from the right angle.
But that's not relevant. The relevant line is the blueish one I've drawn straight downwards.
That's what the top down angle shows and that's what tells you if the ball is the whole way over the line.
I think you seem to believe I’m slow on the up take hereQuote:

The whole of the ball is over the whole of the line.
So thank you for that lovely diagram you’ve drawn in order to be patronising. But I understand the point being made, it’s complete nonsense anyway but beside the point, even using that principle the ball has crossed the line because if you lined up the ball at it’s furthest point and drew a direct vertical line to the ground, the point at which it arrived would be over the white line
It's the way you're coming across tbh, you keep talking about "daylight", but as I've shown you can see grass in between the ball and line from certain angles even if from the top down (which is the relevant angle) the ball is overlapping the line.Quote:

What I can't know is whether that still shows the absolute furthest the ball went before the Japan player hooked it back.
My initial impression was certainly that it was miles over, but that first angle was deceptive. It was certainly a close call.
Matches are on now.
Partey starts for Ghana, of course.
