Exactly. Why can’t we see the graph of the entire play?
Also, I still can’t believe they only had 2 camera angles to work with….in a World Cup elimination game.
A word about the so-called snicko graph that “proved” croatia striker matanovic touched the ball.
Darren Cann (referee decisions commentator on the BBC and, unfortunately for him, one of the least convincing men ever to see a microphone) said he was “100% certain” there was a touch that caused pasalic to be offside.
He based that certainty on “snicko” technology as this proved the touch.
This is what referee and VAR used to rule out the goal.
But even if you think snicko is a good idea (I don’t) there’s a massive problem with the snicko graph.
IT’S DOESN’T LINE UP WITH THE PICTURES!
Snicko shows one spike and we’re asked to believe that was the matanovic touch.
But there are 4 or 5 touches on the ball in a few seconds (the cross - matanovic? - portugal defender veiga - croatia’s pasalic - then gvardiol scoring).
Snicko shows one?
They have to show a graph where all five touches (if there are five) are represented and where the graph spikes line up perfectly with the footage.
That would remove all doubt.
The way it was presented makes no sense and looks corrupt to the core.
I told my 8 y/o to go to bed, this game is over. He wanted to watch to the very end but I said no. I walk back into the room after turning out their lights and scream that the game is tied. So they all got out of bed and we watched the 2nd OT together 😂 my kids will love CBB
The @ChicagoBears have gotten wrecked on the line all game. For the life of me I can’t figure out what 75 is doing here. Leave a man to triple team another… who then is the defender who gets off their blocks and makes the tackle. What is happening?!?
I’m torn. As much as I dislike it’s 2 of the 3 highest payrolls left and I can’t stand MLB’s non salary cap structure and I’ve been rooting against these teams the entire season… I can’t not watch this.
@AmmonAnderson - I taught the fam Gnome Hollow yesterday. So fun! Today, I literally woke up to my 6 year old asking to get out of bed so we could play it again. That’s the sign of a great game!
