Shouldn't have. Goalie looked up to see if the ball was being cleared, realized he had no chance to get up and get into position, flopped around like a fish.
I know some think it’s soft , but it would’ve been even more controversial if it stood and the keeper was down on the ground. I think the ref chose the least controversial decision.
Its an obvious foul by Varane on the defender, he has both his hands on the polish back pulling him down. idk if people 8n this thread are literally blind
I don’t think it was a foul? Matty Cash held his head (despite no contact) so ref had to stop it. Players that feign head injuries should get very lengthy bans.
So if the goalie comes in and clears everyone out, causing chaos and injury, the ref then allows play to stop, therefore the goalie can not only foul others, but at the same time make play stop because of it. Absolute nonsense. Let the play finish then review it if you have to.
I know we want to see an amazing goal like that, but I'm happy it was disallowed because Varane clearly fouled Cash there. Attackers get away with that all the time, so I'm happy to not see it rewarded
It was an obvious foul on Cash. If it was about Szczesny's intervention then it would make sense to wait for VAR, but the foul on Cash happened earlier and was obvious – so there was no need for VAR to be checking whatever happened after that first foul was already commited.
That's ridiculous, sczescny fails to gets the ball and crash in the packs, starts to get up, sees it's a dangerous situation and then starts to be hurt. As ridiculous as the foul he supposedly had against Messi imo
Mirrors / Alternative Angles
Giroud casually scoring bicycle kicks
He has higher chance of scoring them than a tap in
I actually love him.
Send this to that US guy who flopped while trying a bicycle kick yesterday.
Best no goal of the tournament
I would spend hours watching a compilation of the best no-goals.
They should give awards for that
Second being Giroud's overhead kick vs Australia
Vintage Giroud finish
Average Giroud Finish*
So stylish
The scenes if this counted. What a goal it could have been
Tie with Richarlison
Referee has a trash can for a heart
The foul was on Cash. You can't plant your hands on a defenders shoulders to jump/prevent him from jumping.
Exactly. The swiss commentator so clueless
He also hits his head on the floor, so even without the foul the ref should be stopping play.
He’s so good at stuff like that lmao
Probably has the best technique for a bicycle kick in all of football
Papin's successor.
This isn't a disallowed goal, the referee had stopped play before Giroud shot.
Yeah but Reddit karma for posting about 'disallowed goals'. There's been heaps of posts like this
Shouldn't have. Goalie looked up to see if the ball was being cleared, realized he had no chance to get up and get into position, flopped around like a fish.
practice goal it is then. skill level showcase of the highest scorer in France NT
Is not really disallowed if he blew the whistle before Giroud touches it, right?
Wasn't really a disallowed goal in the strictest sense, the game had clearly been blown up before he even got set to try it. Lovely technique though
It wasn’t disallowed it never counted to begin with
technically correct
Giroud scores the sexiest goals
Wtfff hooow
Think he stopped it for potential head injury
Stopped for a head injury
Wasnt a foul, Varane didnt do anything
I'm honestly struggling to see how that was interpreted as a foul, even in slow mo which usually looks much worse.
Horrible refereeing. The 'head injury' rule gets abused so much, it's a joke.
This just reminds me that reddit doesn't actually play football.
looks up, sees where the ball is and then cries in pain 😒
Play had already stopped. This is not even considered a 'disallowed goal'. Why is reddit on a mad one?
Cus it was a sick bicycle kick
Reddit is mad because the game should never have stopped. If there was a fault it was on Varane, not by Varane.
People are blind. Clear foul on Cash.
Easy foul against the defender
I know some think it’s soft , but it would’ve been even more controversial if it stood and the keeper was down on the ground. I think the ref chose the least controversial decision.
Is it really a disallowed goal tho if the ref already blew the whistle and the defenders stopped playing?
I don't care it didn't stand, add it the list of his fantastic finishes.
Criminal to blow the whistle there
You can see Szczesny look up before deciding to writhe in pain
[удалено]
kinda soft foul no?
I thought so at first but Varane climbs on the defender
Sczeszny looked at the ref before deciding he is dying lmao
Never a foul
Never a foul.
Shit ass ref
After giving 0 cards in US-ENG
Absurd. Let it play out and consult VAR like you're supposed to
Why you whistle to stop if its not head injury? if it a foul you have VAR
Players had stopped playing because the whistle went. This is not a "disallowed" goal
Its an obvious foul by Varane on the defender, he has both his hands on the polish back pulling him down. idk if people 8n this thread are literally blind
Holy fuck imagine if that was legal
That’s disgraceful
Varane climbed on Cash. Definitely a foul. Harsh on Giroud but correct decision
Even without the whistle the play starts with Varane jumping on Cash so VAR would've caught that.
How on earth is that a foul. Goalies are too protected
Pretty sure it was stopped for cash hitting his head
The foul wasn't called against Szcesny, varane literally mounted Cash so it's 100% a foul
I don’t think it was a foul? Matty Cash held his head (despite no contact) so ref had to stop it. Players that feign head injuries should get very lengthy bans.
Would have been so good
Terrible clip to show this.
Pretty sure it was stopped for cash hitting his head not a foul on the keeper
Totally a foul on Cash. Not sure what I’m missing..:
IT WAS FOR VARANE FOULING CASH, NOT FOR SZCZĘSNY MY GOD
most beautiful disallowed goal for the most beautiful man on the pitch
Keep it in your pants lmao
Fuck the over protection of goalkeepers.
Foul for the attacker pushing the defender down i think, nothing to do with the goalkeeper, but i might be wrong
I don’t think this has been whistled for a foul on Szczesny has it?
Keeper looked up, saw giroud winding up, then screamed and held his back. Like tf.
Wojcech was literally watching and when he saw France in possession he held his back and feigned pain.
A goalkeeper could kill someone and still be given a foul against him. Absolute BS
whyyyy oh god that would have been so good
Not a foul right?
There's nothing
Ref should have allowed it to continue and see it on VAR
Nah. See a foul, give a foul
[удалено]
Ya but a foul on the defender (by Varane)
Was it actually for a foul on the goalie or for Varane climbing on the defender?
Heinous decision
Shambolic decision
This ref has been so bad
I think its a foul but its disgusting how the keeper looks to see where the ball is going before faking an injury.
Awful officiating
How is that the fault of France??
Coward move from the referee to whistle before the shot to not check VAR
IT'S A FUCKING DISGRACE
How is that not a foul on Varane ?
Varane fouled Cash. You can't just climb on the defender like that, lol. Ref whisteld before Giroud even shot.
What a robbery
What a goal and what a shame to be disallowed
Don’t agree with the call. Not a foul. Shouldn’t have blown the whistle
It's definitely a foul. Varane has both hands on Cash's shoulders, perventing him from jumping. That's always a foul.
Refs who blow the whistle without letting the shots cross the line should be binned. Absolute idiot.
Bullshit call
Smart read by Szczesny though, he took a quick look, knew he didn't clear the ball properly and baited the Ref to call the foul.
THERE WAS NOTHING DONT ROB US YOU FUCKS
Reminds me of de gea vs arsenal
The ref blew his whistle before the attempt tbh
Why is it so hard to understand that it's not a disallowed goal if the play is stopped before the shot? It happens all the time.
Soft foul
Ref robbed us of an all time great world cup goal
Complete horseshit
Bullshit keeper fuck off
You have VAR doofus! Don't blow the whistle!
[удалено]
Climbing defenders isn't allowed?
Why stop play? He's played the ref there. Pathetic.
Possible head injury which they have to stop for
bro wtf… robbed my man of the goal of the tournament
That'll be this ref's last world cup match
Thats bullshit
Varane doesn't really do anything wrong but i guess this will always be stopped.
So if the goalie comes in and clears everyone out, causing chaos and injury, the ref then allows play to stop, therefore the goalie can not only foul others, but at the same time make play stop because of it. Absolute nonsense. Let the play finish then review it if you have to.
Too good
Top Sexy effort tho.
Would have been just an average Stupid Sexy Giroud goal
love how noone is even remotely surprised because it's Giroud
Special Feature/Post-Credit scene on the Giroux bangers only tape
HE IS ON FIREEEEE
Nah wtf he's unreal
Team is so much better with him over benzema
Did I really just see a 36 yo casually bycicle kick it and just drop to the floor?
What a damn peach this man is
Giroud is in a mood this WC
In 20 years, if you show the highlights of Giroud to a kid, they will think he was the best in the world.
Chelsea Giroud vs Atleti fladhbacks
You have VAR.
Benzema getting injured worked out for the better of France imo, cuz there's no way that guy's better than Giroud.
Tall, handsome, sexy and scores acrobatic goals. Stupid sexy giroud
I know we want to see an amazing goal like that, but I'm happy it was disallowed because Varane clearly fouled Cash there. Attackers get away with that all the time, so I'm happy to not see it rewarded
Garbage post that isn't even showing the potential foul
Can somebody explain why the referee has blown there? No obvious foul, just let the move play out and VAR can decide if something was wrong.
It was an obvious foul on Cash. If it was about Szczesny's intervention then it would make sense to wait for VAR, but the foul on Cash happened earlier and was obvious – so there was no need for VAR to be checking whatever happened after that first foul was already commited.
I love this man
Anyone got a decent clip of this?
Damn shame. Quel but!
savevideo
It’s not a disallowed goal. There was no goal as the ref blew the whistle sooner.
God I wish he were still on Chelsea.
We let him go for lukaku and havertz
Keepers are way too protected
It was a foul by Varane on Cash. Stopping the game had nothing to do with the keeper.
Referee blew the whistle too early
Ridiculous decision. That 100% a legit goal.
I'm an ex-keeper and will always call for protection of keepers.
BS
[удалено]
Varane climbing the defender
No foul
Varane didn’t foul Sczceny no ?
It’s on Cash not Sczceny, I think.
There's 0 reason for this goal to be disallowed
Crime not to count it.
isn’t that a foul on Varane by the keeper
Foul by Varane on Cash happened first. If not for that earlier foul, quite possibly it would later by foul by Szczesny on Varane.
Foul was only called because it was clear Szczesny wasn’t about to get up
man, that should have counted. Keeper clearly saw he didn't box the ball far enough and then started screaming in pain.
Fucken ref. You waited that long. What was an extra second to just let VAR check it.
That's ridiculous, sczescny fails to gets the ball and crash in the packs, starts to get up, sees it's a dangerous situation and then starts to be hurt. As ridiculous as the foul he supposedly had against Messi imo
Referee stopped the game way before he faked the injury
Shouldn’t have been a foul, terrible call. Just blow the whistle after the play, all he had to do was blow it 5 seconds later!
get some random referees who dont know how var works either nice nice nice
Such a joke of a decision, where the fuck is the foul
Varane just shoves Cash down with both his arms
Goal almost as beautiful as this man
Oof ref blew it
