Denmark Criticizes VAR in Euro 2024 Round of 16 Loss

Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand criticized the use of VAR following his team's 2-0 loss to Germany in the Euro 2024 Round of 16. Hjulmand was upset over two pivotal VAR decisions: a disallowed goal due to a marginal offside and a penalty awarded for a controversial handball. He argued that such decisions, based on minute details, undermine the spirit of football. Germany's Kai Havertz scored from the resulting penalty, and Jamal Musiala added a second goal to secure the win. UEFA defended the decisions, citing the accuracy of the technology used. Despite the loss, Hjulmand praised his team's overall performance in the tournament.
