Germany v Denmark.
Was Andersen's hand raised? Yes. But was it in totally unnatural position? Debatable. Was the contact minimal? Yes.
But the snickometer they have borrowed from cricket for this Euros deemed a contact, and by the most pedantic application of the law, it's considered a penalty. A very soft one in my book.
Going back to when VAR was initiated, it was there to stop glaring and obvious error. This wasn't glaring or even obvious yet the microscopic nature of the VAR deemed so.
Meanwhile Havertz is allowed to do stop - start on the resulting penalty. Where is the same zeal for pedantry in enforcing that rule? Just bizarre.
That handball doesn't deserve the same punishment a wild two footed lunge should get you. And, this is a problem for football. That an error as small as that could decide the match is just not on.
I don't know what the solution could, or it even needs one, but a penalty for that mistake seems really, really harsh considering you'd get the same penalty if someone two footed an attacker in the box!
