HongKongVillan Posted July 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2022 Think England sold the Dutch a fast one with snatching their coach and somehow giving them an incompetent English male coach. ( At least it's not Phil Neville) That lovely Dutch lady at the beeps studio last night hinted about their coach being a bit out of his depth when praising Sarina Wiegman whenever possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean Anouk Hoogendijk? Probably for a different thread though... On topic, good tournament so far. Got a feeling France might do it...

sne Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Interesting little VAR feud between Sweden and UEFA currently. Sweden are unhappy about some calls during the tournament (had 5 goals disallowed among other things) and are calling UEFA out for only having 15 cameras to look at compared to 36 for the mens competition. UEFA are responding with saying they in fact have more cameras now but are then including the EPTS-cameras (Electronic Performance and Tracking Systems) in that figure. Ex FIFA/UEFA ref Jonas Eriksson (who is Swedish btw) is chiming in that this is a false way to look at it as those cameras doesn't count. He is also saying that the current VAR system they are using at the women EURO's could have as much as a 13 cm error margin. SVG Europe who handle media news about broadcasting and so on has these figures regarding cameras. Men: https://www.svgeurope.org/blog/headlines/uefa-euro-2020-the-host-broadcast-facts-and-figures-for-the-tv-coverage-of-europes-biggest-football-show/ Women final which will have 4 more cameras than the group games: https://www.svgeurope.org/blog/headlines/womens-euro-2022-facts-and-figures-for-the-host-broadcast-match-coverage/ Anyway, VAR sucks, UEFA sucks and hopefully it won't be an issue tonight.

VAR checked the penalty shout for England against Spain, allegedly. Which leads me to conclude that either VAR was switched off, or that the people checking it were functionally brain dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 I didn’t see the Spain game but there was blatant ”simulation” for a penalty in one of England’s group games that didn’t get overturned either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
