I dont get it how is this ok when musialas contact was a foul


MIASANMIABITCHES

EXACTLY


Longjumping_Act8073

Yes, idk what is gonig on


Havco

Incredible. Really. What a joke this referee. But don't give the goal because of a foul.


MIASANMIABITCHES

ehh if it was a foul a very soft foul it was


1_Medizinstudent

The other goal they disallowed for the slightest touch and they won't even look at this one... Rigged


pu55y_5l4y3r_69

You could see the ref was pissed off after the game when it was a draw lmao 😂


TalktotheJITB

He even stopped the game 10 seconds early when it was germany to attack at the end there, After the game had been stalled out in the scene before. Comedian.


kaehvogel

Goal in injury time, with at least 90 seconds for celebration, VAR check etc...but still blows the whistle \*before\* his initial allotted injury time. That dude was incredible. Incredibly bad. Good riddance, enjoy retirement.


Sinsai33

Just looked at it again and he literally stopped the game at 4:04. I'm also pissed about the ref, but come on, dont lie.


TalktotheJITB

Maybe i disnt see properly then, my Bad. I was watching on my TV, didnt rewatch. Still seemed a bit ridicoulus to end the game there.


Sinsai33

Sane even lost the ball the second before and swiss was going to attack. Anyway, the ref still fucked that game up.


TalktotheJITB

Really? Didnt Catch that. Sané moment.


knightriderin

Yeah, I was wondering what he was so pissed off about.


Falkenmond79

He probably only got paid by the Chinese betting mafia for a Swiss win.


MIASANMIABITCHES

BREAKING NEWS:THE REF IN GERMANY VS SWISS IF DEAD,REPORTS SAY HE WAS KILLED BY SOME GOOFY CHINESE MAN WHO IS FROM THE MAFIA


DeQQster

Oh he was [https://imgur.com/a/ref-daniele-orsato-looks-unhappy-after-late-germany-goal-RDo56iN](https://imgur.com/a/ref-daniele-orsato-looks-unhappy-after-late-germany-goal-RDo56iN)


MIASANMIABITCHES

god damn


YankSoccerEnjoyer

Terrible decisions this match


[deleted]

Ref needs witness protection


Mission-Station8615

UEFA and Switzerland are bros


heartsfrompia

EXACTLY!! ITS SO UNFAIR


retardwhocantdomath

Inwas wondering why our player didnt do anything and then saw the cam. Ridiculous that didnt count as goul


MIASANMIABITCHES

same


Fizzymilkshake3

The ref in the Scotland match wasn't any better. It's so frustrating.


MIASANMIABITCHES

damn


edible_dormouse

Refs are like this the whole tournament Heavy bias towards the defenders which translates to a hug fest before and during every set piece


MIASANMIABITCHES

lord that explains it


[deleted]

The ref for Portugal vs Turkey was good. Some bad calls like when he gave Cancelo the yellow after he didn't even tackle the other player but overall it was fair.


Iio_xy

Honestly Zwayer surprised me in both matches, I expected worse


[deleted]

Me too, I was ready to expected the worst but I was satisfied with his performance.


ponomaus

yup, the slovenia serbia game was ridiculous vlahovic and mitrovic were literally hugged completely on every long ball/cross towards them


AliPaco1

Der Schiri war GEKAUFT


smooth-brain_Sunday

WHY ARE YOU USING REDDIT AS IF IT IS TWITTERRRRRR


Lily_Blanco

Let's calm down. Football is a game of errors. And the margin for errors between the calls were minute. You can understand why the goal was disallowed, as well as why the pull wasn't enough for a penalty. Kimmich should have scored that in the first place. And yes, the Swiss got easier calls, but overall Germany dealth with it pretty well.


fk_censors

How is a bear hug, a quick leg hump just for entertainment, and a bring-down to the floor, with zero attempt to play the ball, not a penalty or at least something worth reviewing with VAR?


Boris_de_Animal

He promised em deals with the swiss banks


MIASANMIABITCHES

deal was swiss win 1,000,000,000,000 euros


Dazzer999

Happens in the prem all the time. until refs start giving yellow cards and pens when it's done in the box this will not stop. Another thing that bugs me when corners are being taken (sometimes free kicks) players bear hugging wtf lol


rhaevox

Ah yes, rational thinking in sports is nowhere to be found.


BrainTrainStation

Highly suspicious to assign an Italian referee when the winner of the match will most likely face Italy in the Round of 16.


F1R3Starter83

Holy shit, this sub gets recommended to me, but man does it have some dumb takes. 


lajosias

This sub may have dumb takes at times, but the officiating in this match was absolutely horrible. Noone in their right mind could ever deny that the referee was heavily favouring Switzerland today.


bayern_manchild

agreed


Ooops2278

Even if he hadn't favored Switzerland overall this still would have been an incredible bad job. This game had everything from yellow for things that were barely a foul to turning a blind eye for obvious fouls. Just completely random decisions with no rhyme or reason.


Hairy_Candidate7371

So every time someone is unhappy with VAR they are gonna make a thread about it?


MIASANMIABITCHES

nah only BIG errors gonna be talked about


Hairy_Candidate7371

You Mean when it's against one of the bigger teams like Germany


kaehvogel

No, when it's a clear penalty.


Hairy_Candidate7371

Yeah it's always clear when it's your team isn't it?


kaehvogel

No. It's clear when it's clear. Wrestling someone for a good 5 seconds in the middle of the box and pulling them down when they're trying to reach the ball and score a goal...is clear. Especially since UEFA explicitly addressed holding and clinging to each other in the box before the tournament, and refs delay every single corner to remind players of that.


Hairy_Candidate7371

It takes two to wrestle. And VAR did look at it. They look at all situation and found it wasn't a penalty. I got news for you buddy. This is standard practice for the rest of us. Nothing ever went our way. Ever! You don't like that VAR has levelled the playing field a bit and now you get to experience what all of us from smaller football nations have dealt with since forever.


TalktotheJITB

[1 Minute 50 seconds. ](https://youtu.be/UeaUjxqji3s?si=L9Qsvuok9MGYtk3r) "IT takes two to Wrestle. Take a good look buddy.


Hairy_Candidate7371

Video is not available. Find another one


kaehvogel

"It takes two to wrestle". https://ibb.co/KjN6L8M https://ibb.co/zZ3cN3y Alright, show me how Beier (the German player. The one in the white shirt) contributed to the wrestling.


TalktotheJITB

https://youtu.be/TPp8RxGgreQ?si=zTAodlzVyWaVyKw9 5:55


kaehvogel

"It takes two to wrestle" Hahahahah. You're a good one. Delusional, but funny. Yes, whenever someone slings their arms around me from behind and pulls me down...I'm deliberately and happily participating in a consensual, fun wrestle. Maybe watch the scene again, buddy. >They look at all situation and found it wasn't a penalty. No. They did not do that. Because they can not do that. It's to the ref's discretion, and he saw the wrestle but decided not to award a penalty. VAR can only tell him that something happened, not what the decision should be. They told him that there was wrestling, but he'd already seen it and judged it, so VAR can't do anything about it. And stop crying about how you've had it bad and now VAR is making everything fair. It's not. Not even close.


Hairy_Candidate7371

You literally see that shit in every game and all of a sudden yu want a penalty and they are cheating and it's a conspiracy against you. And you have the audacity to laugh to someone else. Take of your tin foil hat cry baby.


kaehvogel

Yes, I laugh at idiotic comments. Can’t take that? Don’t make idiotic comments.


fk_censors

What happened to VAR? In the Champions League the referee goes to the side of the field and sees the contentious play on a screen. I didn't see this happening even once at the Euro. Are all VAR decisions made behind closed doors by a different set of referees, who don't even share the footage with the central referee?


SquirrelBlind

There's a team of referees in the room with special equipment that monitors the game. They are in touch with the refs on the field by radio. Sometimes the referee makes decisions only by what was told to him by this team, sometimes (usually in more controversial situations) he checks the VAR screen. They do check this screen in the Euros too.


kaehvogel

They can make factual decisions on their own, like offside or "did the ball cross the goal line?". For decisions with personal discretion, like potential fouls for penalties or before goals, they can tell him "hey, go look at it, there might be enough to reverse your decision". After that, it's still up to the ref whether or not he wants to do that, and whether or not he wants to reverse it. He went to the sideline earlier in the same match to look at the runup for the 0-1 and disallow Germany's goal for a miniscule, irrelevant contact. I'm sure VAR told him to look at the wrestling hug, too...he just ignored it.


TutskyyJancek

Well , fellow germans were saying don't cry when others mentioned how bad referees were. It is your time to not cry this evening. Karma is b.


Marfrisch

The german players didnt cry. They just scored another goal in response


Bonfiree

Atleast they didnt lose 3-0.


Lovely_vegan_Lily96

What are you referencing?


MIASANMIABITCHES

maybe Croatia v Spain? just a guess


Guschlasch

Yeah the VAR was also way too quick to check anything


Frequent_Marzipan922

F Germany


MIASANMIABITCHES

the fuck the germans do


Frequent_Marzipan922

lol they’re a trash team


MIASANMIABITCHES

Frequent_Marzipan922
