That angle was not shown to me yesterday. Looks like an handball right before Kanes shot, at least from hat angle.
One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch...and kablooie!

That angle was shown multiple times yesterday before they even considered the other foul due to one Dutch defender complaining.

And when they showed it at a constant speed it looked like absoletely nothing. But when you switch between speeds you can make any such situation look bad. This was certainly way less of an hand ball than the Cucurella situation.

And no clue where this crying about refs comes from. Imho this was one of the tournaments least impacted by refs that I can remember.

Was watching it on ServusTV and they didnt, mostly were focused on the touch between Kane and the defender.Well it was not much (if there was even a touch) but isn't hand ball of the attacker always a freekick for the defender side, no matter how much intention the touch was?

Overall I'd say the refereeing this tournament has been okay. There's been a few games with abysmal refereeing, but there always are. Hand ball rule very clearly needs some help, though. Seems entirely arbitrary when a penalty is given. Not really a refereeing issue inasmuch as a very fuzzy rule.that each ref interprets differently, or even the same ref in different situations.

The penalty kick yesterday was a bad call by VAR. But over the rest of the half England deserved the goal. Fair is fair.

Yeah handball for the attacker is always handball, no matter the intent.

I think the chance distribution was fairly even. England was better in first half, Netherlands better in second. Clinical finish by Watkins though, at the perfect time.

IIRC if the ball bounces off a part of the body you’re legally allowed to use onto your hand, is not intentional and it’s not you directly scoring the goal it’s fine.

That may be bullshit, I’m pulling from memory here, and a hazy one

It seems unnecessarily complex, and a bit out of line with how it’s judged if it’s a defending player.

I’m with Acro in that I think the actual refereeing has been mostly fine, the actual laws are causing some issues, plus that’s exacerbated by VAR.

England’s pen was kinda silly IMO, although I’ve heard it said it’s for endangering the player with a reckless follow-through. So Kane getting the shot off isn’t entirely relevant in this case. Again I’m off a night shift and a big podcast binge so my recollection may be incorrect!

I think in such a case a foul should be allowed to be given, but not a penalty. Book Denz for his challenge but giving a penalty for a foul after a shot is mental

This isn’t that uncommon I mean I’ve probably seen hundreds of fouls given where the attacking player knocks it past a defender, too hard so that even Usain Bolt couldn’t actually reach the ball before it goes out of play. Slightly different but same principle I suppose. People don’t tend to have an issue with those kind of scenarios, indeed most times I bring up allowing for a foul to be given but not a penalty in those it’s pretty damn unpopular!

Were you watching football at the time of the 2002 World Cup?

Jaysus I thought us Brits were bad for moaning about refs! I’d say it’s been mostly adequate overall, not perfection by any means but mostly alright enough not to really impact my enjoyment of the Euros so far. B- grade from WombaT

Cucarella being booed was poor form too from those fans, come on like. It’s not an Henry scenario where he actively cheated and got away with it.

Also I mean at least on here and other places I frequent there was pretty consistent criticism of harsh handball penalties, for my money (and most refs I’ve heard) that wasn’t a penalty anyway, but I got a sense of people wanting the scales evened for bad calls, or at least harsh ones by making another harsh one.

As an unrelated aside if memory serves Zidane shouldn’t have got the red card in the 2006 final. The refereeing team all missed it apparently, and were told after the fact so it was effectively VAR before VAR

Yeah the rule is a bit silly, but I also dont think the refereeing was that bad yesterday, despite what some people feared before the match. I think it was even a bit more entertaining to watch (as a neutral spectator) than Spain vs France because it was way closer and could have gotten either way, England played well to deserve the win.

Yeah handball for the attacker is always handball, no matter the intent.

I think the chance distribution was fairly even. England was better in first half, Netherlands better in second. Clinical finish by Watkins though, at the perfect time.

Now you mention it I’m struggling to think of many knockout games where chance distribution wasn’t even, but yeah this was another one of those.

As good as Spain were against France for example I mean their goals came from two moments of individual brilliance rather than carving the French open with much frequency.

Agreed that the Netherlands probably shaded the second half, albeit only in a 55-45 kind of way, whereas the first was maybe 65-35 in England’s favour.

I actually wonder if that would have continued for longer if Depay didn’t get injured and Koeman wasn’t forced to rejig things. Although I haven’t been following the Dutch massively closely I do think Koeman has been quite ruthless with changes so maybe he would have done it at half time anyway.

On balance and bias aside I do think England’s play merited the win, although despite said bias I do think that penalty was BS

For the penalty I'm leaning towards no but I can entirely understand why it was given. Other than that, the only critical situation was just before the end where VvD gets booked for complaining that it was a corner for Netherlands when in fact it was a corner for Netherlands. But the ref/ linesman didn't see it.
Give that corner and it's Netherlands having the ball and a chance instead of Engerland and no goal from Watkins as a direct consequence.

I mean I guess that depends on how polite Virgil was in complaining about that call!

One change I have actually liked this tournament has been only captains chatting to the refs. There’s less mobbing and dissent in general, that’s definitely a rule change I’d keep moving forwards, here and in other tournaments

Yeah the captains only rule is great, they should change this to all other leagues/tournaments too.

The deciding thing wasn't the booking of VvD but the wrong call on the corner. The following attack was leading directly to the goal of Watkins if I'm remembering correctly

EDIT: Just rewatched it. I was wrong. This situation was a few minutes before the goal

The handball is a mess. Nobody seems to know which interpretation of the handball rule is used in each league at given day and then everyone is free to pick the interpretation that suits their desired outcome.

I wish there was a 10 minute crash course into ruleset and interpretations in every tournament. They could go through some of the changing interpretations and adjustments and explain how they should get called this particular tournament. That creates clear responsibilities for refs to enforce the rules and teams to play by them.

COMEBOL on the other hand frequently do. Why move the tournament to be in the same window as the Euros ffs?

There’s one number 10 dominating this tournament and for once it’s not Lionel Messi, James Rodriguez has been bossing it and seems a lock to add a Copa MVP to his World Cup

I’m an absolute sucker for that kind of player, they’re a borderline endangered species these days. And Columbia have two of them with Quintero!

Shame he went to Real, but hey it’s Real Madrid so I can’t blame the lad. I think a player like him has to play at a (slightly) lower level and be the absolute main man. Think Juan Roman Riquelme carrying bloody Villarreal to almost a Champions League final.

Ya love to see it

Refereeing has been fine. Aren't there like three controversial/consequential calls all tournament? German getting handball penalty vs denmark (wrong call), Germany not getting handball penalty vs Spain (wrong call), and this penalty (where it really seems like unbiased opinions are a near 50-50 split). I'm sure I might've missed something but either way the refereeing has been fine, and indeed as Wombat mentions, nothing even close to the 2002 one. I think the Spain-SK match had more blatantly wrong refereeing than the entire EC.

England was overall the better team in this match. England really dominated the first half and easily could have had more goals, Netherlands was slightly better but hardly produced any big chances in the second half.
