In the second part of #3 of DAZN’s special program “FIFA World Cup Judge Replay”, the decision that became a hot topic at the FIFA World Cup (World Cup) Qatar 2022 was examined. A thorough discussion was held on the scenes carefully selected from the four games.

The viewpoints picked up by the program were “Argentina vs France | “Argentina National Team vs. Croatia National Team | 32 minutes… foul or no foul?” “France National Team vs. Morocco National Team | Partly due to the heated debate in the first part, the discussion went as far as explaining the “brawl scene” of the match between the Dutch national team and the Argentinian national team.

In the second part, we examined the first 32 minutes of the semi-final match between Argentina and Croatia. Argentina national team FW Julián Alvarez, who slipped behind the DF line, crossed with Croatia national team GK Dominik Rivaković who jumped out. Rivaković was fouled and shown a yellow card, giving Argentina a penalty kick.

Since Alvarez crossed with Rivakovic after the shot, the media and experts debated whether it was a foul or no foul after the game. Hiroshi Hirabatake, who appeared on the same program, said, “When I was watching the game, I thought, ‘Oh, it’s a penalty kick.’ It’s in the middle of a change,” he said, revealing his honest feelings.

Hisato Sato commented, “I think it’s a PK.” As a basis for this, “Only Alvarez knows whether he finished. I got a bad impression when he couldn’t stop. I think that the perception of the offensive side and the defensive side will be completely different, but as a person who was on the offensive side, I think that this judgment is justified.” . On the other hand, Yasuhito Endo said, “I’m the opposite of Hisato-san,” to the no-foul side. “Livaković went out about a meter or two, and then Alvarez rushed in and I don’t think it would be possible to tell the goalkeeper to ‘dodge’,” he explained.

Manabu Kuwabara announcer, who is the MC of the program, commented, “Rivakovic, I think it was a little pitiful.” While opinions were divided, as was the reaction of the public, former international referee Masaaki Iemoto admitted that it was a very difficult play to judge, even as a referee, saying, “Even I am divided (opinions).” . Mr. Iemoto said, “From the way Alvarez used his body and the way he looked at the ball, it didn’t feel like he was going to pick up the ball. The atmosphere was that he was thinking ‘put in’ when he shot. I think it’s a good contact and I don’t want it to be a foul, but from a technical point of view, Livakovic’s right foot is in the direction Alvarez is running. I can do it and I think I can call it a foul.”

In addition, the program also mentioned the 27-minute scene of the semi-final match between France and Morocco, which even involved submitting a written opinion. The performers are discussing the scene in which Morocco midfielder Sofiane Boufal was fouled for a fall in the penalty area and received a yellow card.
