Should that not have been retaken? Neither foot was on the line when the penalty was taken
Yup, so the result was fair in the end.
Yeah, indeed.
I get the feeling VAR shat out of overturning a saved penalty 20 minutes (well, 35 as it turned out!) from the end of the World Cup final.
Must it be on the line or just over the line?
