Summary
Germany went out to Paraguay on penalties after Jonathan Tah’s extra-time header was erased by VAR for a foul by Waldemar Anton on goalkeeper Orlando Gill.
Jürgen Klopp said the decision was "brutal," arguing Arsenal scored "60%" of their goals from similar situations during the 2025/26 season.
Patrick Ittrich, MagentaTV’s refereeing analyst, said the review should never have been triggered because the on-field call was not a clear and obvious error.
Thorsten Kinhöfer of ZDF called the ruling "speechless," saying the contact was normal and mild compared with worse incidents seen at this World Cup.
