What hit the cam wire? When?

What have I missed?

Oh apparently the ball hit the overhead camera wire from the keeper's kick in the lead up to the goal 😯

Rules are drop ball from where the ball made contact, but FIFA have said the sensor in the ball shows no contact... Did it look like it hit it and impacted the flight?

5 of the top 8 made the QFs. The 3 that didn't all had something in common with their managers in Brazil, Netherlands and Portugal :lol:

Looked like it dropped like a stone. Trajectory had it heading for the Norwegian player behind the England player that eventually picked it up.

Looked like it on screen, and looks like Nyland complained about the same thing from his angle.

Innocuous perhaps, but rules...

And the panel here all thought it hit it.

Switzerland have a few minutes of momentum and chances. Argentinian lies down on the pitch to kill another promising attack, seconds after the tackle he was involved and apparently 'hurt' in.

Player gets up and walks off, and then shortly back on. Job done.

Just no honesty or integrity in this part of the game.

Referees cant do much else but check the 'injured' player. Terrible to see.

Justice was about to be served for all Argentina’s diving.

But VAR intervenes.

Embolo wasn't being protected by the refs, he simulates and is now off.
