Var is killing the game. 

It makes it more exciting for American viewers who like games that go on for hours

Remember a lad called Michael Johnson at Man City everyone raved about him was last seen working in a kebab shop!

Haha, yes! He was the next big thing. He did turn into the next big thing but not in the way he wanted.

Let's hope you are wrong. No offence.

I did say unfortunately, and after scoring their second it looks like I was right.

The disallowed goal and very iffy penalty decision completely reversed the momentum in the game. Thanks Mr Oliver! 

[stephenkibby.]

i love watching football at any level but when that penalty was awarded i switched off.

****** joke , and watching defenders with their ams behind the back while defending is mental ,games gone at the top level.

I ****** hate it.

I don’t like to go all conspiracy theorist but I do wonder if FIFA just want more goals, hence more penalties for ridiculous handballs.

If that's the case then they'd have allowed the two disallowed goals to stand.

Goes to show these danish ain’t half a bad side dispite it being the end of the world when we got a point 

They aren't a bad side but compare our "performance" to the Germans and it's chalk and cheese. They actually have attacking intent and look like a team.

[2015]

Shambolic decisions and lost interest in this game. Well done VAR, feel for Denmark.

[Markthehorn]

Nice second goal tbf .

[22A]

As a break from the poor decisions, I didn't see any neutral flags tonight. However; anyone on here serve at BFPO 47? Near the half way line was a German flag with Gutersloh written in white on the black bar.

The danish have created much more against the Germans than they did against us and are chasing the game obviously

The rule needs rewriting if only because the punishment of a penalty for that alleged "foul" is not proportionate.

If you really think that is handball, ok, then award an indirect free kick inside the area. 

Agree with this. I've always though how can something like that lead directly to a free shot at goal, what was he supposed to do with his arms from that distance?

Handball off the line and deliberate handball then yeah fair enough, but it's so harsh

Feel a bit sick in that I agree with Clive Tydlesley:

’The handball law is not fit for purpose’.

When a goal is disallowed for handball if the ball hits the hand of an attacker , even if completely accidental, during the build up to a goal, but is not a handball if no goal results from the attack and it is not handball if a the ball hits the hand of a defender in the penalty in exactly the same way , then the hand ball law id bolux.

It's the same as when commentators say of a tackle in the penalty area, "anywhere else on the pitch that's a foul". It shouldn't make any difference where o the pitch  a foul or handball occurs or who by - if it's a foul, it's a foul and if it's handball then it's handball.

Too much interference by footballs administrators has ruined so much of the game taking common sense out of decision making by making things prescriptive.

Oliver’s in shot more than any player. Glory hunter. Dreadful

Exactly mate, Germany have put in a much more aggressive and positive performance than we did and guess what... a better outcome and more enjoyment for their fans.

Denmark not getting any breaks..

Lucky Germany didn't score then as Oliver would have found some way to override the lino and VAR!

Andy Oliver being investigated for making a betting double - the date of the general election and Germany winning the Euros.

Had that ridiculous penalty not been given I can’t see Germany winning this game

A penalty gives an approx. 75-80% of scoring a goal I think. 

Cannot be right that a cross deflected off a blokes fingers results in that kind of advantage.

Let's face it though, Germany are the better team here, and even if the Denmark goal had been given, I'd fancy Germany to get the result one way or another.

We obviously see it differently!

It’s certainly over-generous in terms of what happened.

Momentum.

Before the penalty the momentum was with Denmark and Germany was feeling the pressure. Going a goal behind would have ramped up that pressure and caused them to chase the game. The disallowed goal, quickly followed by the dubious penalty gave Germany the buffer of a one goal lead and completely changed the dynamics of the game.
