A Horse Named Stranger Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 And Löw has offed three more of his 2014 Cup Winners. Boateng, Müller and Hummels. Boateng is the least surprising of the three, Hummels arguably the most surprising one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 1-0 Spurs out of thin air. And it'S now really lights out for Dortmund (if there were any doubts left). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philokles Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Similar to their undoing against Augsburg. Plenty of chances, don’t take them then have a lapse in concentration up the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Uff, 3-0 or not? I think it will be 3-0. Yep, confirmed 3-0 Lights out for Madrid. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The VAR should have not even got involved there if he wasn't 100% sure the ball had gone out of play. Just wasted 2-3 minutes conversing with the on field referee for something that was not a "clear and obvious error". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 They had to review it. If the ball had been out, it would've been a "clear and obvious" error if the goal had stood. So they had to take the 3 minutes to solve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it takes 3 minutes just to decide whether or not the ball is out then surely this is not a clear and obvious error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 You are hung up on the obvious part. When the ball was out of play it is a clear violation of the footballing rules. If you could determine whether the ball was out with just one glimpse at the screen, then the whole VAR would be pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could determine whether the ball was out with just one glimpse at the screen, then the whole VAR would be pointless. When they say 'clear and obvious error' they don't mean 'things that are definitely illegal under the rules', they mean to correct something that he should have been able to catch at first sight. ie they don't want it used for marginal calls.

Philokles Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 It is an objective decision technically. Either the ball is or isn’t in play. Stupid rule when the technology isn’t present to determine it objectively like on the goal line. Nacho sent off. Real will be short of centre backs for their first Europa League game.

Consigliere Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Stunning performance by Ajax. Fully deserved to go through. Could have won by a bigger margin as well. They outplayed Real Madrid for the majority of the 1st leg as well but made poor decisions in the final third. ETA. this is probably the end of the road for Solari as well.

Corvinus85 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Why can't they use goal line technology for those cases of out-of-play balls? Isn't the rule the same, the entire circumference of the ball has to be past the line to count? In any case, deserved win for Ajax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
