Penalty DENIED! Cucurella handball ? WORST Referee Ever? #euro2024 #germany #spain

German penalty appeals were waved away in extra time prior to the hosts suffering a last gasp defeat to Spain in their Euro 2024 quarter-final.

The hosts felt aggrieved when Jamal Musiala's shot from distance struck the hand of Spain defender Marc Cucurella in the first half of extra time.

Cucurella's hand was by his side but blocked Musiala's goalbound effort, immediately sparking appeals from German players.

Musiala, Florian Wirtz and Niclas Fullkrug led the appeals to English referee Anthony Taylor, who waved their claims away.

coming from an england fan that is such a disgrace. this referee should be banned

[TENTAKEL]

Cucurella hat mit seiner Spanien Fußball Nationalmannschaft im handball gewonnen, aber bei der Olympia 2024 wurde Spanien im handball 2 mal von Deutschland zerstört 😂 dagegen konnte cucurella nichts machen 😂

[MistahSnorlax]

Meanwhile that happened it World Cup finals, same situation and France got a penalty… smh

[proman]

The ref actully right a handball is considered if the handball occurs above the waist (according to UEFA rules)but clearly over here it was definitely above the waist ☠️ and was a down the waist.

And that is why penalty was not given.
(There are etc. rules to this handball so go search this up on youtube rn) At first even I thought it was disgrace but it isnt a disgrace now when I know.

Hope this helps!! 😇😁😄

Anthony Taylor retired my goat without a euro cup

[ZakChlebowski]

Germany would have won that match if the handball was given, meaning Germany would have played against England in the final if they won against France in the Quarter Final. But wouldn't win the final.

[Freezer]

As a German rooting for Germany in the euros I was so mad and this proves that refs are blind

[sevenplayz]

This should have been a pen because the art is in a unnatural position

[brutuslongsword]

shocking decision, same as last night against Endgland when Oyarzabal was clearly offside. Spain has been gifted this tournament

[migaming]

Why can't they simply introduce a simple rule hand ball should be hand ball whenever ball is touching to the ball

[guscall]

Man, show the whole play. Just before, there was an offside and a handball by a German player, not to mention that Tony Kroos should have been sent off for continuous very dangerous fouls, one of them injuring Pedri. Stop crying already

[Crimsoncats-sn]

Because the ref is English and so am I

[behrouzkaroubi]

The VAR team should have summoned the referee to personally review the incident. This decision is highly questionable, to say the least. Cucurella's posture is notably tilted; his torso leans towards the ball's trajectory, and together with his open hand occupies significantly more space (almost three times that of a person standing upright with arms closed), effectively blocking the ball.

[aunabbas]

Hey guys am going to explain how is not a handball so in fifa rules if you hand is behind your body and it hits your hand is not handball

[borisbukic]

really wonder why defence players holding hands on their back while in 16m when someone passing or shooting on goal last few years? that was natural position of hand, wtf?

[gurhandag]

Obviously penalty. With a bullshit French ref Netherland also passed Turkey. Uefa behind Spain and Netherland...

[ivanbroeckaert]

There was a offside decision if I am not mistaken

[rossturner]

He moved his arm towards the ball to block it 100% penalty!

[fikrifuad]

If it given tht would sucks, u can clearly see he try to pull his hand toward his body

[dennisking]

No other arm is in the right position so why his, fixed from the highest level, so inconsistent VAR didn’t even view it, terrible decision
