CONCACAF will get 3 qualifying spots along with 2 playoffs. Step up El Salvador and Jamaica. Yes, agreed - this time you'd have had Costa Rica (who did win a game to be fair!), Panama and Jamaica. Jamaica have a couple of good players but a terrible defence and we know how bad Panama were four years ago, so admittedly North America is the one with the steepest drop off in quality.

Well, now that you've changed it to just the best WC in 4 years, yes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 All this chat about was the ball over the line or not, can someone please tell me about the German goal in the other game. Cannot recall if it was the 2nd, 3rd or 4th !, but when the ball was played in two German players were yards offside, one of the offside players scored, yet VARS's thought it was ok!......

HanoiVillan Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 To be honest I think it's a goal, looks like a fraction of the ball is still above the line. Obviously it's very tight but sometimes that happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball didn't fully cross the line, so it absolutely was a goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 That is the amazing part with this new VAR. Ball looks out of play in 90% of the angles. Maybe I missed it but did they show a picture like the one below? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt the same way when Australia was in it and when we left. 10 of the smallest countries in FIFA + New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 It's fun to see all of social media learn about depth perception in real time. What looks over the line from one angle is firmly on the line if you looked straight down on the ball from above. The only angle that matters is the one that absolved Japan of any wrongdoing, but we haven't been given that angle yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like camera trickery to me support their argument that it was the wrong call I know we should be happy as when we got screwed against the germans with lampards goal but had var been here now that goal never would have been disallowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help if you weren't using the worst angle possible The ball has to fully cross the line, it hasn't so ball is still in play, and the goal stood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) They need 2/3 frames either side of that image, because that image might not be the furthest point the ball was in it's path. But I don't care, I think that photo is all you need, therefore Germans out. Edited December 2, 2022 by lapal_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
