Was it handball? Beaten finalists Germany left 'hurt' by lack of penalty against England 🟢 Captain Leah Williamson appeared to handle the ball in the first half but the Video Assistant Referee did not award a penalty
German coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg congratulated England, but followed her praise with some pointed remarks about the officiating.“In such a game it is quite difficult to cope with that. I am asking myself, ‘Why didn’t the referee look it?’ That hurts a bit.
“I don’t feel cheated, that is not a word I would like to use: it’s football, there are decisions that aren’t correct. But on this level, the final for the European Championships, this shouldn’t happen. I’d like a discussion about that, why did they not look at it?The front of the Bild website on Monday morning
The point of contention comes down to the much-discussed interpretation of the handball rule under Law 12. The specific part of the law relevant to the Williamson incident refers to a player having “has made their body unnaturally bigger” which the law defines as “when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation”.
The law adds that “by having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised”. Williamson had her arm raised above her head when the ball struck it, but the VAR may have ruled that the fact the ball had cannoned off fellow England defender Millie Bright from short range was enough of a mitigating factor – although under the letter of the law, the seemingly unnatural position of the arm should not allow for mitigation.Sporting immortality is not established through your own performance, but the experience of those who started their journey because of you.
