ReplyDeleteMissed corner
ReplyDeleteMissed offside
ReplyDeleteVery good in the first half. Full control of the game and good foul detection
ReplyDeleteAgree
DeletePositioning and fitness for Jordan goal was outstanding.
DeleteMissed yc and foul on gk 62 min
ReplyDeleteHand of the atacker on the face of gk
DeleteIt was a missed foul but YC? Not for me, glancing finger contact and don’t think it reaches the threshold for YC, even if the threshold in this WC is so high
DeleteNow first actual mistake. Missed foul on Jordanian GK

ReplyDeleteGood OFR, correct call, hard to see it live
ReplyDeleteGood job by VAR room. Handling before goal almost impossible to spot live.
ReplyDeleteI'm not convinced on this handball, according to the laws. And, a major decision upon review.
ReplyDeleteHere is the law on handling related to the immediate goal. It only references that player now. So, then, is it deliberate or unnaturally bigger? I find that hard to see.
scores in the opponents’ goal:
- directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper
- immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental
I think there was potential foul by attacker separately, but I'm not convinced by the handling since different player was the one that eventually plays the ball into the goal.
DeleteThe hand not in natural position so it's offense
DeleteI know all federations and competitions have slightly different perspective on the position, but to me the hand is in justifiable and natural position for defending in that position. That's the standard in updated laws, not just distance from body.
DeleteYou misunderstood the rule.
DeleteIt is an offence if a player scores in the opponents’ goal immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental.
Doesn't have to be deliberate or unnaturally bigger, that's why you have "even if accidental" part.
I know but this is caf thing so it's punissable by caf
Delete@CarlRDM - my distinction is that the goal was scored by a separate player, not by the player who had the ball touch their arm. That's the nuanced distinction. If the player who handled, even if accidental and natural, had scored - would be very good and correct review.
DeleteIt was called because of the position. Not because a goal was scored after. Has nothing to do with ”immediately after”. It was effekter away from the body.
DeleteA few comments here:
Delete- The AUT n5 player clearly moves his arm to the ball but is it a deflection off his body? Therefore can’t be considered a handball?
- The handball law, the spirit or the intention of it, even though it was a different player who scored, was they did not want goal scored after hitting the hand. Even though not specifically stated, the spirit of the law was upheld by the no goal decision.
Agree on the comments on the view live, the combination of multiple players in the goal area combined with the holding and grappling, no surprise it was missed by the on field team. No fault for me there
The holding on the defender should be called but he didn't catch it good call by the var
ReplyDeleteNo holding at free kicks or corners has been called at this World Cup. Sometimes defensive free kicks but nothing consistent
DeleteWrong OFR IMO. Ball hits the body first, arm in natural position. Never a punishable handball. It also wasn't the arm of the scoring player, but from a teammate. VAR shouldn't have intervene here
ReplyDeleteThe arm can be in a most natural position in the world but the goal can't be scored directly from the hand/arm, even if accidental or immediately after the ball has touched hand/arm, even if accidental
Delete
DeleteThis only applies to the goal scorer!
CarlRDM. Law changed 2 years ago…
DeleteCorrect YC for Sabitzer
ReplyDeleteClear handball to much time on monitor and that shocking me he didn't spot it in live with his position
ReplyDeleteAlso not the best angle shown at the start, the second one was better. Maybe hard to see from his position, his AR should have helped him imo.
DeleteWell he chose to much right and enter the box and being to close to play so his responsibility to spotted yes the ar2 could help but when the ref to close the action will not interfere
DeleteAnother ofr which should have clearly been seen live by the ref
ReplyDeleteYes I feel for him. I think should have seen it live but maybe he just didn’t create a wide enough angle to get a great view, probably needed to be another 1-2m wider. You definitely want your AR2 to help you out there, perhaps the game going so deep got to him? Maybe?
DeleteSuch a clear HB decision will definitely hurt him going forward.
Second OFR. This time, penalty should have been given on field
ReplyDeleteTwo interventions from the VAR room, which means an early return; therefore, we have the first referees heading home.
ReplyDeleteThere was clear weakness in identifying key decisions, and overall, the referee’s performance in this match was poor.
Very good Beida for 99 minutes, what a shame about the missed handball! The other OFR is wrong, and Beida was shown terrible angles that would only support a handball judgement. The ball rebounded off the body, the arm was not in an unnatural position and the goal was scored by somebody else. To allow the goal originally was correct
ReplyDeleteIn general standard performance from beida nothing outstanding. As always sometimes his to soft and sometime let play flow . He missed the holding and pulling before disallowed goal . And he missed the handball in the end with his good position. We could see him as 4th from now unless something happen
ReplyDeleteComments on pefroamcnes:
ReplyDeleteStandard performances delivered from Atcho and Beida, without big issues, but obviously lack in way of decision making,and disciplinary/technical way. Again, without impact on final result,what is excellent,expect to see both of them once more in GS.
Very good performance by Marciniak with some missed YC through the game. Yes,through the game he avoid to call marginal things and let game flow, but some YC need to be given.At the end, good start for him.

DeleteHi Mikael,
ReplyDeleteI’m new to telegram and can’t join the group. Do you - by any chance - have an anti-spam filter that blocks new accounts? Thanks.
REF was overal good. Not extremly good.
ReplyDeleteOFR 1 was hard to detect live for both Ref and AR2. So very good intervention.
OFR 2 needed to be avoided. This one both the ref and ar1 need to be spotted live. Reply from the refcam showed a open sight on the situation. Although it went very quickly. The support of AR1 was needed so they could together give the penalty.
OFR2 apparently was difficult to detect, because both nearby Austrian players also missed it...
DeleteI thought his foul detection was not bad but it wasn’t a very difficult game. Reasonably high pace on a coolish night, face paced game and he kept up well. Both teams didn’t make things too difficult for him and temperature of game was low. The second OFR will hurt him in a game without many issues. The holding in the penalty area is not just an issue in this game but all games, so can’t criticise.
ReplyDeleteThe penalty in the last minute of the game should have been directly spotted by referee, clear handball, but big responsibility to AR who had frontal view on the incident. This is a clear "-" and a crucial mistake in teh final assessment.
ReplyDeleteFirst OFR, very good call, and here impossible for the officials.
Gol immediately score, so no doubts, just discussion about the fact that it was another player to score and not the one who committed handball, maybe for this reason OFR, otherwise it was possible to go directly with overrule.
I have a question. Why the badges from the referees are from
