DeletePossible pelanty 56 min
ReplyDeletewhy not penalty ???
ReplyDeleteMissed corner in 59 min
ReplyDeleteVery stupid rule is that if ref wrongly gives corner kick, VAR can change his decision into goal kick, but if he wrongly gives goal kick - VAR can’t over rule that decision. That os extremely stupid.
DeleteAnd yes, in 2 minutes Makkelie had 2 corner/goal kick decisions.

Delete53:09 MOR 7 attempted "header" collides with HAI player, immediately in front of him, in the back of head. You can see on the replay he is in full realization that he is late and the HAI player will get the ball but he still snaps his head forward. No foul for this very dangerous contact. If this was from behind into the legs, no question of a foul. With the danger to the opponent, this is a reckless foul.
ReplyDeleteMakkelie's refereeing is awful tonight ..
ReplyDeleteStrongly disagree with you
DeleteThe match is played at an incredible pace. Makkelie is completely out of breath. best game in the tournement so far
ReplyDeleteAs Bussaca says, dont talk for nothing.
DeleteGood to see some (correct) yellows for protesting in this tournament also
ReplyDeleteFinally YCs for mobing the referee
ReplyDeleteExcellent decision by AR2 to keep flag down when looking if ball was out of play before 4-2 goal

DeleteBut it took a very looong time to get a decision driven by technology
ReplyDeleteThe goal had already been given.. why did Makkelie make an announcement to confirm it? Does anyone know?"
ReplyDeleteUnder review for over the goal line. Supposedly with GLT
DeleteAs I understand it, there is an option to make an announcement even after a lengthy VAR check. That is how the KNVB explains it.
DeleteI don't know if FIFA wants to do that, but it appears to be permitted.
I think I remember Anthony Taylor doing similar at the CWC in ‘25.
Delete@Anass that make sense, when the crowd or the players don't really understand the situation i think it's fine to make an announcement
DeleteThe push for referees to be so central has created many situations in games where they interfere with play.
ReplyDeleteCome on why why whislting before quick counter about 3 min half was waisted in var check and the injjry in extra time
ReplyDeleteAn overall good performance by Makkelie. He didn't look suffer from a hangover after his first match, it bodes well for his prospects in the rest of the tournament.
ReplyDeleteIt is fortunate for everyone that there was no need for cards to Morocco, which might have given the Netherlands an advantage.
