Quarter Final: Spain - Germany

[IM21]

Pure arrogance. He was like i saw it. I have nothing to check.

i think there was an offside before that handball happened.

This does not surprise me

Rudiger checked out match a bit early

Spain has parked the bus for the last 45 minutes. I don't want to hear a peep about their beautiful football.

It was beautiful.

 

[NimAraya]

Wow close

 

[brehme1989]

Germany cannot even camp outside of Spain's box in the dying moments

 

[IM21]

happy retirement toni

 

[NimAraya]

Can someone explain why this clown of a ref extends this 3 minutes of injury time to 5?

 

[Linege]

Toni Kroos should've been red carded a while back. You win some, you lose some.

Dani Olmo is so far the MVP for Spain in all games he played. Guy is pure quality. He always impressed me and at 60 mil buyout hes a steal.

Anyone with eyes could see he was class while he was in Dinamo, Inter could have bought him then.

 

[IM21]

this was just before the handball... I think Fullkrug is here in a small offside.

Was at the local German-American club to watch the game today. Wonderful time being there, of course I was supporting the Germans in that game, disappointing to come up empty in the end. I almost never go anywhere to watch games but I just felt like doing something special today I guess.

It could be offside, but it's a fact that the referees didn't marked it.
They just ignored the crystal penalty and this is my concern with those "rules" nowadays.
Every fucking decision could be justified now with some excuses as "he tried to move back his hand", "that was unintentionally", " there was not enough contact for a foul" and some another bullshits.
I don't like the direction where this path is heading to.

The ref clearly from the first minute to the last never had any control over the game and the players. One thing I find really interesting and funny is that, looking at Gazzetta Dello Sport comments (although not only there) from articles for the Spain v Germany game, many people are like "Wow clear PK, this ref sucks!" and similar such comments. Yesterday's game may have compounded the negative association many people have between Spain and UEFA/FIFA protection for clubs and country (Which I believe is a thing, Real Vardrid isn't just a meme imo.)

Funny though, because since I lurk on those forums and have done so for years, when this same ref screwed over Roma it was ok. No one talked about it. It was "haha mourinho lost and by extension so did sfinter because reasons..." Their hatred for Mourninho/Inter blinded them to this same ref messing up what could have been a Roma win imo. Sevilla did not deserve it that year imo. Inter also got screwed by Sevilla handball which wasn't called (I don't think it wa the same ref though). Now these same people are like "Oh wow spain cheats Germay deserved a goal at the end." If I'm not mistaken wasn't there an offside or offensive handball leading up to the goal so that's why no pk was called for? Whereas in Roma v Sevilla clear handball, same ref doesn't even VAR check and these same people crying now are like "Wow this ref sucks." but 2 years ago it was "lol stop crying crybabies". What changed rube/bilan/atalanta fans?

No rube/bilan/atalanta fans. You guys and your teams suck.
