[yerwot?]

off-side rule is from the dark ages, and so is the lack of a game clock.

The accuracy of the technology is really not the issue here and we're at risk of throwing the baby out with the bath water. This offside tech is undeniably very reliable and accurate, there is no human involvement in calculating the offsides. Huge improvement on "the lines".

The issue is that it measures offside with such accuracy that it is nearly impossible for a person to know themselves if they are offending.

It's an easy fix for me, it just needs an "umpire's call" zone that goes with the on-field decision. Say if the player is less than one foot offside.

Like I said a more liberal criteria I’d go with Wegner any part of body onside = onside yes, there would be fine margins but at least we see goals

Denmark left Hjolund on too long to give them a fighting chance to get back in the game

 

[Blu1]

Wirtz got something about him too

Even taking the two refereeing calls into account, Denmark just haven't done quite enough this evening. They had a decent 20 minutes or so around the middle of the game. But Germany have, on the whole, been the slightly better side. While not being impressive themselves. Spain or Portugal would have too much for them.
