Referee Anthony Taylor was SPOT ON to not award Germany a penalty in relation to UEFA's handball guidelines... Cucurella's arm is down, vertical and not judged to be making his body unnaturally bigger. Either way the rules are so unclear 😤

​@@tino0936there wasn't a handball prior to this. What about Kroos crazy tackles that was spared?

[@srmiaus3146]

​@@tino0936 It wasn't a penalty because the referee interpreted that the arm movement was to withdraw it from its initial open position, despite the fact that the point of contact was still with the arm occupying a larger space. The TV broadcast later showed a possible offside position by Füllkrug earlier. Although it's true that the TV signal didn't show the semi-automatic offside lines, and the assistant didn't raise the flag either. What you consider a penalty is okay. But complaining about an action that the referee interprets in this way and ignoring the fact that they should have played with one less player since the first half is hypocritical on the part of people who focus so much on the penalty. I repeat, if you think it's a penalty, that's fine; in the end, it's your interpretation of the play. But the referee, for better or worse, has another interpretation. And the most important thing is that lines would have to be drawn because before the penalty, there seems to be an offside that at first glance is quite clear.

[@morten8586]

This was a penalty. It wasnt even up to the refs decision because the ball was shot on the goal and stopped by a spanish hand. Hell without his hand it may was a goal. So yea spain won but they didnt realy won

[@days23411]

it was reviewed by var. just because it doesn't show up on screen doesn't mean it's not reviewed by var, it monitors the entire match but since the referee has the option to agree with the var squad and not check the replay it didn't show, he was most likely talking to the var squad on his ear piece while it was all happening since the premier league var faq says that var intervenes in ALL major moments like pens, red cards, goals etc (yes i know it's not the PL but you get my point)

[@foxythepirate98wolfgangh20]

those saying it was not a penalty is complete nonsense and so was Taylor's decision to not give the penalty. Taylor in refusing the penalty clearly did so because he claimed by his words and body posture that Cucurella had his hands by his sides in a "natural position". But that ignores the context ie. what happened before his arm was by his sides where he blocked Musiala's shot which was going into the goal with the keeper beaten. Fact is, Cucurella had his arms out to his side, away from his body at about a 90 degree angle before the shot was taken. The shot is taken and then Cucurella moves his arm and hands downwards directly into the direction of the ball, then to try and fool the ref, Cucurella lets his arm go backwards and go limp. The fact is, it is hand to ball and a deliberate obstruction of the ball. It was 100% a penalty. Hand to ball whether up or down under the rules is a penalty if it is in the 18.

The hands rule is simply a mess, we see this again and again, football really need to fix this.

[@bigmac4417]

yes...play with hands tied near the waist...🤣 joke sorry

[@jankkobetoni5152]

Journos should have asked about him instructing the players to tackle harder and if that was related to Pedri injury

[@blueflowers269]

Imagine spain 🇪🇸 wins the UEFA ⚽️...after the handball..Will that then be a genuine WIN?

[@fightingforce8498]

some team win with 6 free pens and handball in wc 2022

[@fightingforce8498]

Kroos should be sent off.

[@migelkulli1868]

Carvajal should’ve got the red card since the first half. Also, it was a clear penalty for us. ROBBERY!!!!

Pretty ironic Germany gets denied by an upside down heil.

A handball has to be deliberate, the plays arm was pulling away, right decision. ,

[@ThomasSamoth-ls8ed]

No, doesn't have to. Theyve changed that long time ago. Despite: it looked deliberate

[@Wristwatchme]

horrible call

[@steveb75ful]

That was a PENALTY every single day of the week. An absolute disgrace! Look at Argentina vs Ecuador penalty for comparison. This rule must be fixed up by FIFA.

Was not a penalty

the rule is clear, the ref was bad

[@AlbertoVelasco89]

There was an off side before the penalty, that’s why it wasnt penalty. Simple.

The guy wants AI to solve the problem 🤣 Bro... The problem is that football and corruption go hand and hand... CLEARLY the ref was bought, the game was RIGGED - no AI will ever fix that.

[@carolinemarburger5859]

I think it s weird UEFA does not release anything on the possible offside of Füllkrug's. Just a pity that this whole (in) decision on what s a handball takes away from a wonderful game. Germany is sad, understandably so, because they were so great, and this was a game of equals that happened to go to Spain. Which was deserved as would have been the other way around. The handball rules - see the Danmark decison - have just become too weird and hence inconsistent. Why not mourn when a good team leaves its home tournament, shed all the tears this deserves - and which, hey, have finally become not a point of derision for most - and enjoy a great Euro in a place where fans and others just enjoy celebrating Fussball as such and all their Mannschaften. May the best team win after all?😳

100% hand ball

[@linuspiontek2481]

Can UEFA please recruit referees from other confiderations to officiate at the Euros? I might be wrong, but my feeling is that overall the referees' performances are less talked about in the World Cups when there are African/South American/Asian refs as well who are not biased from any European rules that keep on changing every year

AND EVEN IF IT WAS GIVEN A PENALTY, FULK WAS OFFSIDE ANYWAY.. SO THE RESULT WOULD BE SAME.. DIGGING EXCUSES FOR LOSING A GAME... SHAME( BTW I'M GERMANY FAN)
