       A Taylor - Spain v Germany
       By: Arbitre anglais Date: July 5, 2024, 2:11 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Actually thought he was excellent in a very challenging game.
       Unlike Kovacs, thought he was in full control - sharp, calm,
       didn’t overreact, had respect of players. If anything, the one
       missed caution at start (only actually clear on replay)
       should’ve been an extra one! Absolutely none of the other cards
       were wrong or preventable - simply blatant offences (dragging
       people back on the break, etc). What is ref expected to do?? He
       waved loads away for both teams, including endless, ridiculous
       falling down, exaggerating contact, etc. Excellent non-penalty
       decision.

       Mediocre at best, not his first hour. Don’t think the watching
       Rosetti would have been overly impressed.  Should be on the
       plane home tomorrow.

       Very harsh! A few iffy moments but nothing major wrong. I would
       suggest that's him done but not because of his performance.

       "Authorities" were more than content according to a mutual
       acquaintance in Germany.
       Behaviour of both teams was considered very poor and Team 3
       handled it excellently

       I would be interested to learn their criteria for excellence.
       Handball is such a confused area these days but a genuine
       enquiry, why was it not a penalty for Germany ?  I should say I
       was supporting Spain but still wonder.

       I make that 15 yellow cards and 1 red for Taylor. He made the
       first big decision in this game wrong and it snowballed from
       there. Chances of him even being 4O for the final are absolutely
       zero.

       Just as well you have absolutely no say in it then!
       I thought the Kroos challenge on Pedri should have been a
       caution, don't recall much wrong other than that. Penalty shout
       definitely not handling IMO - not deliberate, and arm in a
       natural position. All cards deserved as far as I can remember.

       The Kroos challenge most certainly should have received a
       caution, much lesser foul tackles certainly did, so a strange
       lack of consistency there.

       Would have to watch again, but watching game live, and seeing
       the replays at the time, I thought it was definitely not a
       penalty. Firstly, it’s not deliberate. Then other criteria kick
       in. Ball struck at speed, arm in totally normal position (by
       side), normal movement for what defender was doing. Not sure
       what defender can do to avoid it?

       Arm by the side, albeit slightly out. Very much in the lower
       height of where we’d start to consider HB. Arm starting to draw
       in as ball struck.
       Different TV angles really show a difference between “definitely
       not” to “looks like one”.
       AT’s comms most likely said enough that no angle VAR could
       provide would be suitable to change the decision.

       Good example of VAR rightly staying out of it (despite pressure
       of home country in QF!). AT in the ideal position, clear view,
       good angle and saw it live. Will have said what he saw - and VAR
       had no reason to say that was wrong.
