Analysis of Controversial Goal in Football

Here is a very talked about situation where England scored a 1 1 goal,

but people say the ball hit the wire before it was on the ground.

So England intercepted a goal kick and then scored.

So first of all,

FIFA has shown the sensor of the ball and

shown from the goal kick until the ball touched the English player.

So the sensor showed a clear touch from the goalkeeper and then a

clear touch from the English player. And between these two touches, the sensor did

not detect any contact from a wire.

This is based on what FIFA has shown.

However, if you look at the ball's trajectory on this goal kick,

it looks like some kind of amazing hurricane came or we changed planets and gravity

changed because it doesn't seem like a

natural trajectory for this ball.

However, it is inconclusive based on the images that have been shown so far.

However, let's say it touched the wire here,

could VR intervene in this situation?

Yes, if VR was 100 sure that it touched the wire,

they can intervene since this counts as an outside object,

which means that if it has an impact on play,

it means that a ball is out of play.

And if a ball is out of play before a goal is scored,

it means that VR can intervene.

So if VR had intervened in this situation and canceled the goal,

it would be a drop ball.

And then it would be at the position of the ball on the ground when the whistle

was blown. However, since there was no

whistle here and VR would intervene, it means that a ball would be positioned on

the ground on where it hit the wire.

So straight down from the

wire and then a drop ball for the team that had or would have had possession.

And if it hit the wire, it would be inconclusive who would get the ball.

So it would be a drop ball for Norway in this situation, if it hit the wire.
