It’s not impossible to tell.

From both those angles, he hasn’t double touched it.

In the second angle it shows he may have hit the ball on his standing foot as it's in front of the ball but you can't tell for sure

nobody was upset when Mitro double kicked his pen against us. 
 

I don’t see the double touch mind. Maybe the ball moves a bit before it’s hit? The ball does move in the air in an unnatural way.  But I don’t see the contact clearly.  

It’s the fact that there is no evidence that he’s double hit it.

With Mitro it was clear on the replay that he had, although I do agree that a retake should be used in the case of unintended second touches.

Surely you can see the difference with a live game though? The rule is there to stop players passing to themselves. Punishing the double slip accidents are a necessary evil of enforcing this law

 

I personally don't really see why this rule exists in a shootout when the ball is dead once taken regardless of outcome.

They need to appeal that as really all they need to do is restart from penalties if that footage is correct.

 

Only thing I can think of is there is another angle him kicking it off his standing foot. Alvarez did look a little sheepish.

 

Would break my heart losing like that in such a big game against your rivals.

The party line seems to be that there's a sensor in the ball and it was immediately detected it'd been hit twice, which is why it was so quick.

This is exactly it. Even if there is a minuscule additional touch, what exactly is VAR saving us from here? It's the same as these micro-offsides we see every week. There's no actual infringement or unfairness, it's just a stupidly pedantic enforcement of a rule that has changed in nature thanks to VAR.

I mean the rules are the rules.

Then the rules need to be changed. Double touches allowed if they are accidental.

this 1000 times. It's just completely arbitrary. 

 

Not even sure any of us would've known Alvarez (might have) touched the ball twice without VAR. It's just nonsense.

This is it, or at least a retake.

Am I mad for not seeing a double touch at all? 

 

 


Clear and obvious :lol: 

 

As TCD likes to keep pointing out. Rules are rules. But nobody is actually sure if he broke them?! :lol:

The double touch was detected by the motion sensor fitted in the ball, which is primarily used for the semi-automated offsides.

 

Apparently.
