i would have said that was a mile out, apparently the whole sphere of the ball needs to cross the line, not just at ground level though....
Problem seems to be the rules not the decision.

@Crucial or how few people knew the rule, that does seem a bit ridiculous though

and just like that after failing to deter USA from joining the party of 16, the last remaining European Axis power was scuppered and Japan goes it alone..
Italy didn't even show up, true to form

Yeah. I didn’t know but I dont follow wendyball.
Usually if a rule looks stupid it is.
Can a ball cross “the plane of touch” in the air and come back into play (like a curving kick)?
If the whole ball must cross the line for a goal the this instance look like play on to me. -

No different from the NFL where they talk about the ball crossing the plane of goal

And Belgium's "golden generation" crashes to an end with only 1 goal all tournament.
They couldn't hit the side of a barn. Lukaku was extremely wasteful. How many chances does a pro footballer need?

One of students tried that this morning, ‘I know I’m late to your class but part of my body was inside the University at the start of class, so I’ m not really late’.
That earned a fantastic reception from the class.
I laughed.
Then marked the little fluffybunny late. -

Another view:
Totally not out, Anyone arguing that is out has no idea of the rules. There was nothing 'controversial' about the decision at all, the only controversial thing was it kicked ze Germans out. Pisses me off when an obvious, but close, call is blown up as controversial for clicks.
Not fucking out, play on you fluffybunnies -

Not sure Hawkeye in tennis is 100% accurate but it is unbiased so everyone is in the same boat

Who didn't know the rule?
In soccer the line is in.
It's just those who want the rule to be wrong.

The unbiased bit is key. Players rarely argue with it now

@Machpants it was definitely worth a VAR check though because of where it was and what it resulted in.
It was fantastic drama as those two matches played out simultaneously and at various points who was in and who was out. I don’t think tonight’s games will have as much drama.

That one frame makes a mockery of the current outcome.

I sort of didn’t know the rule. I knew the whole ball had to be out but I thought that meant the part in physical contact with the grass and not the sphere of the ball. I doubt I’m only the person who didn’t have it all clearly worked out.

It's a poor angle. There's a reason they do goal line checks from above

I'm aware of the rule. The issue is the dependency on finding a camera angle that is inconclusive to rule out every other angle showing a clear separation.
