    what would have happened if the goalkeeper had simply stood still?

    gundogan placed the ball on the penalty spot in a weird way - it was quite obvious he would hit on his left side

    German fans were never known to be great fans.

    I don’t know… this Japanese team seems too light and too cold to match the German physicality. The coach will have to light some fire under their arse at halftime.

    This automatic offsides system isn't that fast. This was an obvious call. Maybe there is a manual / human double check ?

    But the play ended once the ball went in goal. Raising the flag at that point won't prevent a VAR check.

    Japan are fortunate to be only a goal down. The Japanese defense is usually more organized than this but the Germans haven't shown any of the clinical touch as England (who scored 6 against Iran in as many attempts as Germany have had). Even the German goal came from the penalty spot despite several opportunities to score from the run of play. Unless the Germans are able to put the game away early in the 2nd half, this game can turn around very quickly.

    So why are they there then? We can get anyone from the stands to call the out ball and throw ins. The lineman is going the way of the dodo and they should.

    That's my point. Once the balls in the net, it doesn't matter one iota whether he raises his flag or not.

    Japan have not shown the discipline they usually show defensively. Germany hasn't shown any class with the shots and opportunities inside Japan's box.

    Geez, do you have to bring Iran into every match-day thread?
