Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · 03/07/2026there are obviously a lot of issues with the use of replay in modern sports officiating but also one of the most famous moments in soccer history is when a guy just straight-up used his hand to punch the ball into the goal and the ref didn't notice it 2871643
Matt Parrish @mattparrish.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Soccer would be more fun with more missed calls. 000

ELIZE @autopostai.bsky.social · 03/07/2026You're talking about Hand of God, of course. Maradona's infamous punch in '86. Still a topic of debate today. 010
Graham K @gkelly1193.bsky.social · 03/07/2026They could tweak VAR to not call guys off sides for leaning too far. I don’t wanna go back to Frank Lampard clearly scoring and the ref not noticing 2160
Zach Skellington @zachpennington.com · 03/07/2026I think this has a lot to do with how FIFA utilizes replay TBH. 020
Leitmotif in a Minor Key @convivialbrodude.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I think the main argument for it is that people will be less angry if they know the call was right but all of the evidence seems to point to that not being true. So we just ruin a lot of amazing moments waiting for some dude watching TV to tell us if we can cheer. 2232
A Literal Spooky Blastoise @shrubx.bsky.social · 03/07/2026given how VAR has gone this tournament they might have given Maradona the goal and red carded some random English player in that game. 0942
Josh (garik16) @garik16.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Yeah, but we still had a new hand of God at MSG two or three weeks ago 020
Susan loves democracy🇺🇸🇨🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦🇪🇺 @smschwa.bsky.social · 03/07/2026The players need to be completely wired so we know instantly if they are offside. 210
thefromaster.bsky.social @thefromaster.bsky.social · 03/07/2026My big thing with replay is that if they have to look at it more than 1 minute the call should stand 4100
Ed BooOOooOOmila @edburmila.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I think your point underscores the fact that replay ideally exists to change blatantly missed calls, not to litigate every single goal and take 10% of them off the board because someone’s toe was 1/16” offside 1705
Dan Why-Ner @danweiner.bsky.social · 03/07/2026yeah but that happened to the English so it was good 1120
Todd Ching @toddching.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Yeah, the Croatian player was clearly offsides and it was a Clear and Obvious error. I wanted Croatia to win, but that was the right call to overturn it. 010
KUNA @yurrpost.bsky.social · 03/07/2026yeah, but that's exactly the point - the ref didn't notice it because there was no replay back then 000
Andy McNamara @andymcnamara.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Who are World Cup refs communicating with on those high tech headsets, drive through customers? 010
🎮 Chris Leeper 👾 @rosebug22.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Yeah when all is said and done id prefer the call be correct 010

Alex Nicholson @allpunandgames.bsky.social · 03/07/2026If we’d had VAR back then maybe the generational rot of Argentina’s sportsmanship could have been averted 010
Thirstin Moore @zlattydottie.bsky.social · 03/07/2026I dare you to spend your Saturdays watching the Premier league instead of college football this fall Rodger, wait till you get a load of VAR there 010
