Two VAR decisions in the match between Denmark and Germany contributed to extinguishing the European Championship dreams for the red and white.
Danish coach Kasper Hjulmand and "penalty killer" Joachim Andersen are furious about the decisions.
The Danes thought they took the lead a few minutes into the second half, but Joachim Andersen's goal was disallowed after a VAR review showed that teammate Thomas Delaney was offside by the narrowest of margins.
I have the picture here, it was a centimeter, said Kasper Hjulmand to reporters after the match and held up his mobile.
When a decision is good, it should be visible from the moon, it shouldn't depend on a few centimeters. When it comes to statistics and data, it's not reasonable. It's not how we should use VAR.
"Ran normally"
Hjulmand was also critical of the match's second VAR situation, where a review showed handball on Joachim Andersen in his own penalty area. It led to a penalty for Germany – which took the lead 1–0. Hjulmand says he is "so tired" of the rules for handball.
We can't ask our defenders to run without arms. Joachim ran normally, he jumped and was hit by the ball from a meter's distance, says Hjulmand and adds.
Andersen: Completely crazy
Joachim Andersen himself is also upset about the referee's actions, which he calls "brain-dead".
It's one of the worst referee performances I've seen in my career. Offside is offside, but to be able to call handball in such a situation is completely crazy. There wasn't a shadow of a penalty there, he says to Ritzau.
Germany later scored another goal and won 2–0. Kasper Hjulmand congratulates the team and its coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Good luck with the rest of the tournament, but in my opinion, it's not how football should be, he says.
