Skill issue

​@@Mryayakidsyes, the ref had a big skill issue

Right! The ref needed to stamp his authority on this game from the beginning. It was clear from the beginning that the Germans were out to physically intimidate the Spanish, even to the point of physically injuring players - Pedri, for example. The Germans were very dirty. Had the referee given Toni Kroos the red card he deserved for his brutal assault on Pedri, things would have calmed down and this would have been a much better regulated game.

@@wiseonwords Here in Spain, the ref would be described as a "calzonazos"

Exactly. As a Spaniard I was really nervous for this game because I knew how good Germany are now. We are both better than in the world cup but that game was a superb clash. You have very good players like Musiala, Wirtz, Gundogan ,etc. We both Spain and Germany have a great future and there will be more games like this coming up. You must be proud.

Both teams played really well in this entertaining game and spain was the best team so far in the overall tournament, but on the day they were lucky to have slighly better finishing

Xg dossnt tell the whole story, spain dominated in the first 60 minutes, then they dropped back, relying on counter attacks, which is when germany suffocated them, since they have very good players on the ball, and their crosses were killing the spain defence, the entrance of fullkrug was crucial for that, nacho and laporte just couldnt stop them, the goal came from a cross for example​@@halcalaquende9952

​@@JackDespero kroose did one singular bad foul, the rest of his pale in comparrison to the average spanish foul. But the first one was just bad. That he did not get the yellow for such an obvious foul was just the ref taking the piss. Like sure he was at the ball first then hit the player, but he still fouled from a position where the other player had no way to react, making it a prime example of "creating a dangerous situation" The german commentators even criticised Kroos and the ref for that action of minute 7 all the way to minute 119. But overall the match was super hands on from the first second. Never have i seen a match where players literally elbow each other when standing in a line waiting for the free kick. Or players being pushed to the ground while waiting for the match to resume. Absolutely 100% agression from both sides. Even if germany had won they would have lost the next match simpy because 40% of the entire team and 80% of the starting 11 would have been banned. And spain is not much better off.

Olmo, Pedri's substitute, was the best Spanish player on that day, scoring the first and assisting the second Spanish goal. He was also awarded Player of the Match. Hence, I don't agree. In the Bundeliga, Olmo performs great too. His only problem is his susceptibility to injuries. Otherwise he would probably play for Real Madrid, FC Barcelona or Manchester City.

I mean, individual talent? Tell me another midifield with more talent than Rodri + Fabián + Pedri + Olmo + Merino + Zubimendi. Casuals don't know Merino & Zubimendi, but they are ballers for sure. The leaders of a little club that played 1/4 final of UCL this season, and has won their first trophy in 33 years. And then you have two guys, Carvajal and Nacho, with 12 UCL trophies in their bags. And this youngsters, Lamine and Nico, they have some talent too...

"hack" pedri? Kroos played the ball and although it was a foul it wasn't a bad/harsh one and clearly not a yellow card! Pedri was unlucky to get injured and so was Germany cuz Olmo is far better and more dangerous than him..

Tbf though, playing 2 quite exhausted wingers also isn't great. Especially, if you're up a goal and you're nearing the 90th minute.

@@jesuszockt3531 Füllkrug was offside and made a handball stfu

The guy replacing Pedri scored the 1 - 0 and assisted the 2 - 1. If that foul was decisive, it was decisive against Germany. Füllkrug was not offside. Ref communicated that he saw the handball and decided it was no pen. They didn't breath a word about offside. Downwards position of the arm has no bearing on if it was natural or not. It was significantly away from his body, thus extending his body frame, and most importantly, denying a clear shot on target. No field player hand should ever be allowed to block a shot on target.

The Offside is already been checked multiple times. It wasn't offside. Yes the Referee was to slow with the yellow cards allowing Kroos to keep on playing aggressive. But none of his fouls was worth a red card. And if this fragile wimp would not have been send off, your MVP Olmo would have never found its way into the Game like he did. Spanish time play, was also not called out and there were serveral emergency fouls in overtime, of which one was worth a red card also. So stop whining and show character and be a great winner. Stop gaslighting away from the penalty with Kroos fouls, it won't work and make you look stupid.

@@zenmonk5403 UEFA said that a defender in a standing position when the ball hits their arm at or close to their side, in position vertically, and/or with the arm behind the line of the body, it should not be punished. That Cucurella was bringing his arm in is a factor, as that's deemed to be removing a possible barrier (though you could be deemed to be doing that in a deliberate handball action.). Besides, Germany should've been with 10 players after just 10 minutes of game, you can't deny that.

@@Druzzt Vertical position of arm is utterly nonsensical when the body is not vertical. He was diagonal like some inflatable air dancer at a car wash. Should players be allowed to jump dive like goalies and have their arms in a 90º angle vertical to the ground and have hypothetical arms blocks be fair and square? The phrasing of that first sentence is nonsensical. What does the vertical refer to? His standing position or his arm? And the ref cannot withhold a pen just because he felt regret about not sending Kroos off.

He played the ball on the first foul and wouldn’t have committed the other fouls if he would’ve got a yellow card your talking about toni kross he only had one red card his whole career if I remember correctly

​@@mclovinisback5866 But before the hand there was an offside and a possible hand from Germany, so it wasn't a penalty.

@@hugooo16-hhfh I still havent seen any proof that it was offside neither of Füllkrug`s handball almost 24h after the game, so im still very confused about the situation. They simply shouldve checked it with the VAR

Having to make your own interpretation of the rule is why FIFA et al are making football a joke.

​@@mclovinisback5866issue is player shot right at his arm. So no foul. U can't cut off an arm when someone shoots at it

Many Germans dont understand, but they had the experience in the past too. Last world Cup Germany had the best expecteted goals of all teams - and was knocked out very unlucky ...

Why did everyone keep talking about an off side? Bovid ever said anything about off dive and if Füllkrug would have been off side, Spain would have gotten a free kick, but they didn't, because he wasn't...

@@maxwellsdemon10 they weren't given a free kick bcz the match wasn't stopped , the play was continued..if the referee had stopped the game to check, then spain would have rewarded a free kick.. but the game wasn't stopped, and in VAR rules, it never stops a game to give a free kick unless the referee asks for it .. that's it , Easy as that

@@bishoybotros254 thats the thing, they should have checked but the ref didnt. even if it was offside or not

@@WainerRinkler187 that's not how it goes man, he didn't westle for a penalty, so the game continued, and in the meanwhile the referee asks the room to check, if they found it's a penalty possibilty they would ask him to review it himself , if they don't , they would just let the game continue ..

@@bishoybotros254 so your argument is, that the linemen didn't see the offside, but VAR would have definitely shown that it was offside? Why do you assume that? You can't see it clearly in the official broadcast and if it were as clear as you obviously assume it is, then why didn't the linesmen call it? This is just total conjecture on your part and MAYBE the right call would have been to check it, so we dint have to have this argument. Why do we have VAR if not to make sure such controversial situations are handled correctly?

That referee -was- is rubbish.

That’s not how refereeing works. You don’t make up for one bad decision with another one.

How many dives were allowed by the Spaniards? Carvajal and Nacho should have seen yellow earlier as well. The ref was just incredibly bad. And then there is the handball situation...

if that was the case then the match would need to be replayed... and that is in the rules... because that would mean the Ref decided on personal beliefes and not rules invalidating the entire match.

No, if it were off side # they would have had a free kick. Nobody ever said anything about off side. The ref just decided, that a clear handball wouldn't count for some random and that he wouldn't even go and review it.

the uefa will not release their footage and data to check for offside. Whcih tells me that it wasnt offside. If it was offside they would just release to data to mute all discussions. The german broadcasters id and offside check with the footage they had and said that it wasnt offside.

@@maxwellsdemon10 No, they didn't give spain a free kick because the match didn't stop by VAR, if the VAR checked the handball they 100% would gave spain a free kick, learn the rules before saying bs.

@@gankstrap so the lines judge didn't see the offside position, but you could see it during the broadcast? Sure buddy....

Lol 40 years? dude germany owned Spain before 2008 dude.

@@thepretorian5292 I don't know what you've smoked, but don't worry, I'll enlighten you. Spain's last defeat against Germany was in Euro '88, (2 goals from the legendary Rudi Völler)

@@MrTramborrios germany always owned spain in major tournaments before 2008 whenever they faced. Tbh they haven't faced much as spain was trash before their golden gen who barely qualifies whereas germany always reaches atleast the semi finals in every major tournaments.

@@thepretorian5292 Life teaches you that no one remembers who reaches the semifinals and that in sport you don't live from the past. On the other hand, I have never seen Germany score 6 goals against Spain like the national team did last year in the national league of which Spain is the current champion.....Germany is light years away from Spain and that stings the ass

@@MrTramborrios lol that was germany's b team spain defeated. Nation league is similar to olympics nobody gives a shit. And how is Spain light years? Spain football career started from 2008, before that they were completely irrelevant and unknown in football besides that fluke euro win while germany has always been a powerhouse since the 60s. Records speak for itself 4 cups and 8 finals 3 euros and 8 finals. Now compare that stats with Spain, it's laughable.

calm down its not even a very rough foul. It's unlucky he got injured but it's a yellow card at worst.

@@roflcopter4273 not very rough? I'm sure Pedro's injury shows otherwise.

@@icyveins21 There are very rough fouls that don't result in injury and not so rough fouls that unluckily do result in injury. An injury by itself does not say anything about the gravity of a foul. Come on man.

@@roflcopter4273 he did him twice in quick succession........

@@freddysquirenaranjo4859 he made up his mind mate. He's convinced Kroos did no wrong

The whole play wasn't checked due to a previus Fulkrügs offsside position. It's an official Uefa statement. Also I dont know how can you say Gernamy were the better team overall when they didn't score a goal until the 87th minute.They only were better in then first 20 minutes of the game, after that Spain were better and forced Germany to play 40 minutes of long balls from the center backs to Fulkrug until the equalizer because they couldn't outplay Spain in the midfield.

​@@gankstrapUefa Statement??? Don't spread fake news. Show me the source please.

@@gankstrap Spain dragged the game out wherever they could because they couldn't find the right means. Apart from that, scoring more goals has never been a reliable indicator of the better team. Chelsea were much worse against Bayern in the CL final. Bayern were incredibly unlucky. Chelsea played ugly but defended well. Of course there are people who say Chelsea were better because they won, but they weren't. They were clearly worse. Bayern were unlucky. Spain were not clearly worse, but we had 5 big chances + a shot that hit the post, Spain 3.

@@thecrimsonking187 Having more shots also not an indicator of who were superior, since Spain changed ttheir 2 wingers and stricker for a defensive strategy while Germany subbed a midfielder for a pure 9 so of course they will have more shots on target. Thing is Spain forced Germany to play long balls because they obliterated them in fhe midfield, thats why I say Spain were superior.

@@gankstrap They were at least on par in midfield XD. Show me one Statistic who proof that. Expected goals: spain 1.41. Germany 2.15.passes 576-588. tackles 17-23. Arrived Passes 496-498. Duels on ground 52%-48%. Air: 67%-33%. Dribbling: 50%-50%Tackles: 17-23. Tackles won 65%-61%.

No, nothing is guaranteed. It's favourite over that snooze feast that France is tho.

​@@ignacioponceladiaz4885Son equipos muy buenos los que quedan es cierto que puede pasar cualquier cosa

no. The footage has been watched over and over. The problem is that the ref did not use any technical devices during the game. Not once did he check the recordings or animations. Otherwise Kroos would have gotten the yellow card much much earlier and the german defender would not have gotten his for jumbing into a faint and then having a spainard running into him tackeling him away. This game was so full of inconsitensies that it hurts. Great game made controversial by the ref doing whatever he wanted. Spain deserves the win but germany would also have deserved it. This entire situation is why Fifa and Uefa decided to allow all the camera proof and then the ref does not use it once

There was a german offside slightly before, yes.

@@AlphaHorst It wasn't checked due to a previus Fulkrügs offsside position. It's an official Uefa statement.

@riatsudni8563 no there was not. The footage has been analysed thousands of times. There was no offside and even if there was the raf would still need to paus the game after the hand play to make a decision A handplay has to lead to a pause. Not pausing the game was a break of duty.

@@AlphaHorst And the thousandfold analysis led to the conclusion that there was a german offside before the hands.

Wym

so after missing the first yellow for kroos in the pedri incident he tried to equalize his mistake by not giving him another deserved yellow 3 minutes later against jamal? totally valid explanation

Dude, there was a outside and a handball before that handball. Stop talking in these situations about the handball of cucurella and start talking also of the other situatuons

Cucurella hand was penalty for sure but it came from an offside before, thats why I think VAR didnt came in, cus they knew it. And yeah, I love Tony but man... he deserved clearly 2 yellow cards and an arguably 3rd

@@miguelguerrero1573 You can clearly see that it wasn't offside lmaoo

heul leise

Bro get a grip on yourself. He did touch the ball on the first one - granted foul nonetheless, because it was way more opponent. And even if he saw one yellow on the first one, no ref is over gonna send him off after 10minutes for that second foul. Give some respect for the fighting spirit

Nope that is a lie, it was not possible to decide on that without VAR.

@@miguelpfeffermann bro please stop watching football from now on. So sending player to space and stabbing player on there foot is now considered soft according to your logic.

@@wokeaf1337 which one ?

@@onelazarya The "offside".

It’s not controversial at all.

@@arthurinde Then you, my friend, are clueless. Sorry to say. The penalty was clear as day.

@@n0M4c cry more

Bro thats just delusional, that is yellow at best but neeeeeever ist that a red card, never

Link to the statement? I saw they argued apparently cucurellas hand did not move in an unnatural way which is complete bs in my opinion…

No, that is not what happened at all.

The VAR didn’t check the offside, because otherwise the game would have started with a freekick by Spain after this situation…

​@@sunlounger29no bc the game wasn't stopped

@@sunlounger29 No they stop the game only in the case that they have to give the advantage to the other team
