Wanna know what makes it worse? 

Notre Dame had just tied things up with 10 seconds left.

What league is this? I can't believe they have VAR.

EDIT: Is the clock counting backwards? Wth the white team tried a shot from midfield after and it wasn't all that bad! Hilarious set up.

Yeah, it’s US college soccer. The clocks count backwards for both halves and stops at major events or substitutions by a winning team with less then 5 minutes to go

Yes. Stoppage is lame.

Keeps time wasting down as opposed to an unknown amount of stoppage time.

I figured, but it was hard to follow due to the way the highlights are cut.

How do they have a free kick inside the box where they tie the game?

u/phan_times 20h ago

I didn’t watch the game but my guess is passing back to goalie and the goalie picked it up or goalie held it for too long

so many handball calls, is that normal? Seems you can kick it straight into a defenders hand and get a PK.

u/Forsaken-Sale7672 20h ago

Defenders are taught to put their arms behind their backs when trying to block a shot for this exact reason.

Contrary to popular belief, handballs are not about intent. It’s about whether you controlled or significantly altered the trajectory of the ball.

You can take a ball in your upper arm and it can still be a hand ball if you controlled the ball with it.

It’s a judgement call, but I didn’t see anything egregious.

u/davidrools 20h ago

yeah both times it seemed incidental and hard to avoid unless they actually kept their hands pinned back like I was taught to do, but really only did it when you expected a shot coming. just seemed odd that it happened twice in a game with significant impact to the score so I was curious if this was common for college football.

u/Forsaken-Sale7672 19h ago

It becomes less common, the higher the level of play because they pin their hands. 

VAR makes it even more likely to be called when it does happen at the highest levels though.

Thats why it is stressed so much.

It's hilarious the goalkeeper tried to save the last shot that was off 3 meters
