Luis Enrique's anger The photo of the ball cannot be true.
Or is it edited or is it manipulated or something
The commotion caused
by Japan's second goal against Spain
, which almost
cost Luis Enrique's team the elimination
and which
in fact cost Germany,
has had its focus this Friday especially in the German country, the main affected by a controversial decision.
Not so in the concentration of Spain, where the decision was questioned in a low voice, but not out loud.
Moreover, the decision itself was not questioned, but the way in which it had been made.
Japan's controversial second goal: did the ball go over the end line?MEDIAPRO
Is there any irrefutable proof that the ball had not come out?
Is there an exact measurement of how far the ball had not gone out?
The answer to both questions is no.
The decision was made by the VAR, neither more nor less
.
In the
VOR room
were the
Senegalese Fernando Guerrero
as VAR,
the Mexican Armando Villarreal
as his assistant,
the American Kyle Atkins
as responsible for offsides and his compatriot
Adil Zourak
in support tasks.
And it was they who decided that the ball had not completely penetrated the entire thickness of the bottom line (about three centimeters).
However, the alleged eloquence of some of the images and photographs forced
FIFA
to issue a
statement via Twitter
on Friday .
In a first tweet, he explained: "Japan's second goal in their 2-1 win over Spain was reviewed by VAR to determine if the ball had gone completely. The referees used goal-line camera footage to verify if the ball was still partially on the line or not", and they accompanied the text of a video with the play.
In a second tweet, he said: "
Other cameras may offer misleading images, but based on the evidence available, the ball was not fully ejected ."
", and there was one of those videos where you first see an image of a ball that seems to be beyond a line and, however,
when the plane is from above, you see that it invades a part of that line.
These videos are the earthly representation of parallax, an astrophysical term that, in order not to go into matters incomprehensible to most humans, comes to define how, according to the point of view of two observers, the same object can be seen in different positions. .
Clearer: it
depends on the place from where you look at that ball, it seems that it is clearly outside or , if a
completely overhead shot
is offered through 3D recreations
, it is seen that there is a tiny
part of the ball that is still on the line.
