Paraguay goalie initiates contact and dives and a perfectly executed header gets waived off.
Ridiculous.
Soccer is truly a joke sport.

Bad call. The goalie initiated then threw himself on the ground.

The goalie’s statue in the box is special. You need to treat the box as goalie’s home. Other players
are his guests. In the box goalie can initiate contact to guard his home if you’re in his way and his move is truly defending the goal. You have to give goalie room for him to perform. You can’t treat him same as other players. You can’t treat the box same as other parts of the pitch. If you think this way, it’s a good call to disallow that goal.

No. It’s a good call exactly because Paraguay goalie initiated contact. It showed and proved
The goalkeeper attempted to challenge the ball when ball was in air. The rule doesn’t allow opposing team to prevent goalkeepers from challenging, touching the ball or impeding their movement when ball is already in air.
Had Paraguay goalkeeper stood there without any movement, then Germany’s goal would be a good goal.
False. Goalie cannot initiate contact then dive.
Otherwise the goalie could charge any player, dive and get the call.
It was another example of diving.
A hideous robbery of Germany whom I was rooting against.
A bit more about this. Quite often attacking team in the box focus on goalie, not the ball. They
target goalie, not the ball. This rule discourages them to do this. You should focus on the ball, follow the ball, not the goalie. Still many teams are “smart” enough to jam goalies without appearing to violate this rule. Arsenal of EPL was so good at this. They scored a lot of goals this way last season.
No. You can’t block goalie from attempting to touch the ball. That’s the rule applied to the box
Regardless of who initiating the contact. In this case Paraguay goalkeeper’s move - his initiating the contact shows his attempt to challenge/touch the ball. You can’t prevent him from doing this. A good goalkeeper should boss the box.
They got it wrong.
Their comments were before VAR verdict and the most important is they were ex English league players
In EPL they often don’t often call it foul. In my opinion it is bad for game. That’s why you often see so many players crowding the small box before a corner or free kick in English soccer games. Referees have to stop the game to separate them before corner or free kick.

That is utterly illogical.
Schmeichel said "They got it wrong". That was OBVIOUSLY said AFTER the VAR verdict.
Anytime a goalie can crash into an opposing player and dive just to get a goal waived off is absurd.
A debatable foul, but not an injustice.
German player did enough to get the interference call. Reasonable minds can disagree.
High drama in first day of knockout.
Would have been an injustice…if Germany was in my final 8…

The goalie clearly initiated the contact then dived.
I was rooting for Paraguay. But the Germs got hosed.
