We're gonna have to play with a square ball from now on so that people that don't understand geometry can get it
I always believe every single word that honest brokers FIFA utter.FIFA have explained the rule to be that the curvature of the ball is over the line not the part touching the ground. So because the slimmest curvature element is on over the line - ball was deemed in by VAR.
You're off DT's Christmas card list anyway.Nothing new here. All of the ball needs to be over all of the line.
VAR can be a serious buzz kill, but it got a huge decision, with massive consequences, right tonight.

It’s a stupid rule if that’s how they literally interpret it. It doesn’t seem to be the way it’s intuitively called across the whole mass of games you see played.
Also call me ancient
but how long now have you been allowed take a corner when just the skin of the ball is touching the quarter-circle line? Another stupid thing that’s crept into the game ….
tbf when your renowned funny man is thomas müller it’ll definitely be unterbantz.Zero banter from Fritz.
a very dangerous individual here, folks! more than able to throw his beliefs out the window in an anti german rage. i wouldn’t be surprised if he’s secretly english tbh. all the signs are there.Okay, VAR did something good tonight.
Are ye fucking happy now ye made me say that?
Well, are ye?
Cos it'll be the very last time!
There's many variations across many games. Take rugby for example. You can catch the ball two feet over the sideline and as long as your feet are inside the line the ball is still in play.It’s a stupid rule if that’s how they literally interpret it.
