[Redster]

Japan appear to be playing 3CB and 2WB.
At halftime all three centrebacks have been booked - each of them in the last 7 or 8 minutes of the half.

Shaping for an interesting second half!

 

[Redster]

Japan levels up 4 minutes into second half. This will be a cracker

 

[Redster]

And now they may be ahead - a ball possibly out of play before the goal. Desperately tight decision. Not sure what the on field decision is

Edit:2-1 Jap on review

I wasn't watching, was there an 'on field decision'?

Any tech used besides video?

Does look in play by a hair

On field decision was goal kick. Video was the only tech available.

I think it's probably right but jeez, how on earth can you be sure

We didn't get the conclusive image on TV. Although I know those goal line cameras are very high resolution and can be zoomed in quite a bit.

 

[Redster]

I didn't see a flag

Possibly TV assumption that the review was for goal?

 

[santa sangria]

Ball was out - so are Germany - but are Spain? Or are they…?

Well we absolutely must see the evidence used!

 

[santa sangria]

Spain lose and if my reading is correct they avoid Brazil in the quarters

But they lose to England in the semi, so hey ho

Def not seen anything that proves that ball is out of play so... Goal!

That's not how it works though...there needs to be conclusive evidence that it wasn't out to overturn the onfield decision

Is that the way they're doing it for objective decisions?
Seems to vary

Lovely

 

[RustyRef]

The angle from behind the corner flag, which was only shown once, looked like it was just, and I mean just, overhanging the line. Why FIFA aren't releasing anything is baffling, and just leading to conspiracy theories.

 

[Big Cat]

Why were they slow to publish this?
Even so, don't see how this could be used to say the AR was factually wrong
