I should have said the change to the rules this off-season was stupid. There is no substantive reason that shouldn’t have been a goal. Jesus still had plenty to do to finish it.

It’s a “spirit of the game” change

If that arm touch had come several seconds and touches earlier, it wouldn’t have mattered. But it did directly lead to the scoring chance, and it’s clear that it redirected the path.

This whole push was to remove the possibility of ever getting s goal from a handball, intentional or not. FIFA considers that to be against the spirit of the game, maybe more than any other situation. They sent out a memo years ago without changing the law that basically said “no scoring with the hand, period.” They finally just put it into the laws and removed any ambiguity..
Where was FIFA

I don’t hate the change, it’s just really fucking late.
