Germany are out
So what this means - and this is the REALLY important thing
is that England can not, under any circumstances, leave the World Cup by loosing to Germany on penalties
RESULT!!

Germany deserved to go out, because that jersey they had with that broad black single stripe was so unimpressive!🧐

Other than watch England v Wales for an hour and falling asleep my WC interest has solely been to look at results.
I've just seen the slow motion of the Japan winner. You have to laugh really, the true result was a draw not a fraudulent win decided by a TV camera.
Absolutely ridiculous. VAR is simply so bad and a good reason not to watch football. Germany should still be in the World Cup.

you are aware it was the refs decision to award the goal and not VAR........VAR could not definitely decide whether the ball was out of play or not, so informed the ref to go with his on field decision. Therefore the ref decided not a TV Camera as you put it.

That is completely incorrect
The on-field decision (correctly) wasn't made by the ref, but by the linesman (assistant referee as they are called nowadays). And that decision was that it was not a goal. The flag went up from them.

At 3:32 "The flag has gone up". And you can see the Japanese players reaction to that.
VAR then overturned that decision.
Having seen the replay numerous times, I don't think the whole of the ball was over the line, but I don't think it was clear enough that the on-field decision should have been overturned.
My apologies i thought it was the other way round, but the ball was defo in play as per below
Ball is in play......therefore its a goal - maybe this picture shows it better

I agree that it looked to still be in play.
But VAR is only supposed to be for "clear and obvious" errors, and I'm not convinced that was clear enough for that definition.
I hadn't actually seen that shot before though.
