First of all, it’s hilarious to see r/soccer once again getting their knickers in a twist over a perfectly correct refereeing decision. The Scotland player was offside and clearly interfering with Unai Simon. That’s why the goal was disallowed not for a foul…
Anyways, Spain were clearly the better side and if Ferran scores his early sitter than it probably would have ended 4-0 or something. Scotland showed great fighting spirit and threw their bodies on the line but no one can deny that they were outplayed for most of the match
Spain has now won 25 home matches in a row in Euro qualifiers. More than any other side in history
Can you explain how both the VAR and the ref indicated it was a foul, despite apparently having a full discussion between them that it was offside?
No I can’t, it was really weird that the first replays first seemed to indicate it as a foul. I was as baffled as you
But on the later replays it is a no brainer, clear as day offside. The end decision was correct so what is there to cry about?
Could be a technical/visual mistake by broadcasters. Regardless it was offside
If it was perfectly correct why did they signal one way then the other then signal it a foul and then retroactively say it was offside?
Interfering, aye right. Anyone who disallows that goal is anti-football and a grade A wanker.
It initially got disallowed for a foul, why the fuck is the referee being called over to the monitor for an offside and being shown Hendry near the keeper. They are just trying to cover their arses for absolutely fucking it
Since when does the referee go to the monitor to make a call on a offside decision? Literally never seen it before.
The problem is uefa told us it was for a foul, then changed their mind to offside.
Even if he was offside it’s borderline at best. The keeper made zero effort to get the ball. He wasn’t being hindered at all.
