'Absolute f*cking joke' - Outrage as Germany given penalty by Michael Oliver for controversial handball after VAR rules out Denmark goal in Euro 2024 clash

Andersen thought he had put his country 1-0 up with a clinical finish into the corner but was ruled out by VAR for a tight offside in the build-up. Andersen's misfortune was deepened only further when Germany went down the other end and David Raum's cross skimmed the outstretched arm of the Danish defender. Both decisions were given by VAR and fans were unhappy in the circumstances in which Germany led <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/germany-denmark-stopped-thunder-lightning-storm-players-safety/bltb826e95105f9da65" target="_blank">an already disrupted game</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Anthony Page led the outrage and posted on X saying: "That’s an absolute f*cking joke of a penalty decision!"@liamcorless agreed: "That's an outrageous penalty decision".Robin Wigglesworth posted: "Cheapest handball penalty in a long time."Steve added: "Gotta feel for Denmark there. How in the f*ck is that handball? Anywhere else on the pitch that's not even a free kick. What's the defender meant to do with this arms there when the ball is kicked from that distance?"@jonloveridge83 wants a review of VAR: "A good 5 minutes of how absurd the offside and handball rules are currently, especially when you overlay VAR onto them. Neither fit for purpose. Start again."Corey is also sick of VAR. He tweeted: "Never offside down the one end, never a penalty down the other! VAR is the topic of conversation once again!"

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

English referees and VAR have once again stolen the headlines for their intervention into the game. Should Denmark have gone 1-0 up, the game would have changed completely. Instead, the Germans took the lead through Kai Havertz's incredibly composed penalty before Jamal Musiala was sent through and placed a cool finish into the corner.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Germany will face the winners of Spain and Georgia on Sunday night. Reaching the quarter-finals for the first time in a major tournament since 2016, the hosts will have one eye on lifting the prize in Berlin.
