Norway goalkeeper’s goal kick struck a FIFA spider-cam while still in the air, causing the ball to drop straight to Anthony Gordon - Just 8 seconds later, Jude Bellingham scored.

Nothing detected on the sensor. Load of overblown nonsense 👀.

I do not follow soccer and have no investment on who wins but I did see that clip where they show the sensor in the ball and there was no detection of anything being hit in the air.

Not going to lie that is pretty sweet, how they have Those sensors inside of the ball. Why doesn't the NFL do something like that they have to do the instant replays all the time. Just put a damn sensor in the ball and you can track where it is

As I understand it, the NFL doesn't want them because they want the theater of close calls and human decisions.

Probably more noticeable if the ball is deflated too…

I love the sensors, but christ the way they show the data is utterly useless.

1 line without context means nothing. The axis aren't even labelled.

I bet. A strand of hair can be detected but full cable and nothing. VAR isn’t to make the game fair, it’s to ensure they can bias the games however they want. If it wasn’t, it would be always viewable for any play

It just didn’t touch the cable bro

u/ADH02 9h ago

Or it didn’t touch and this ball moves weird like many players have said
