If he's standing still he probably gets benefit of the doubt but with the jump to propel himself into the path of the shot, plus with his arm being far enough away from his body, I think it's an okay call.



Like I said initially though it's a 50/50 call that I've seen go both ways, don't think it's some crazy horrible precedent setting call that you've made it out to be.


You are wrong when you say jumping has anything to do with the handball. Him jumping to block the shot has no effect because his arm was still in a natural position parallel to his body (this is the rule) and he could not have done anything to prevent the ball from hitting his arm. Watch it in real time

VAR was meant for missed calls, this was not a missed call. It was called as not a hand ball on the field, It should not have been reviewed and it definitely shouldn’t of been overturned.
