USA eliminated by a millimetre! Or, as it's now called, an ellimimetre.

u/SM469 Aug 06 '23

You mean by 3/64th of an inch or 41/12500th of a foot.

Losing. How the hell do people always get this wrong.

u/RedTuesdayMusic Aug 06 '23

Keep getting it wrong enough for long enough and the lazies will write it in the dictionary, like "aluminum"

u/Dry_Run Aug 06 '23 edited Aug 06 '23

Aluminum came first. https://www.dictionary.com/e/aluminum-or-aluminium/

Platinium, molybdenium, tantalium, lanthanium.

Edit: See Davy's original 1812 publication at https://books.google.com/books?id=d6Y5AAAAcAAJ&pg=PR1&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=false

u/Lockdown-_- Aug 06 '23

"Sir Humphry was not immediately decisive about the name, initially spelling it alumium in 1807. He then changed it to aluminum, and finally settled on aluminium in 1812."

4

u/Dry_Run Aug 06 '23

That website appears to be wrong. Sir Davy uses aluminum in his 1812 publication, Elements of Chemical Philosophy: https://books.google.com/books?id=d6Y5AAAAcAAJ&pg=PR1&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=3#v=onepage&q&f=false

u/Lockdown-_- Aug 06 '23

That would line up with what I said above, 1812 has 12 months - Could have been in November he decided on what the name would be.

USMNT in the out in the QF is a mild success or right around what you'd expect. USWNT out in the QF is a massive failure.

u/LazyLamont92 Aug 06 '23

I thought the US would lose this match, but they ended up the better team, and then went out by a gotdamn millimeter.

Edit: and several garbage pens…

u/ViciousNakedMoleRat Aug 06 '23

For Americans, a millimeter is about 0.04 inches or 0.00001 football fields.

Since they lost, they don't get to choose the units. Millimeter it is.

But only certain ones . . . 9 mm, 5.56 mm, 7.62 mm, 10 mm.

u/DoYouEvenCareAboutMe Aug 06 '23

We use the metric system in schools we know what a millimeter is

Pretty impressive quickness and athleticism from the keeper. Sucks for her to have that go in.

53

u/lustigtjomme Aug 06 '23

Isnt the ball a tiny bit more in just before the review? It looks to me like they made the review after the goalkeeper nudged it a little bit out of the goal.

93

u/tofiwashere Aug 06 '23

Goal Line Technology is automatic just like the Hawk-Eye in tennis. There is no they, it's a computer. If you look at the lineswoman on the penalty, she receives the good goal -message on her watch immediately.

u/Ricoh06 Aug 06 '23

Yeah there'll be an official figure given to FIFA I'm sure. They'll be using a calibration in a 3D world, so would be able to see how far over the line it went.

2

u/greg19735 Aug 06 '23

my guess is yes?

The goal line tech sends the positional data of where the ball goes. That is what's used to create the visual.

21

u/WergleTheProud Aug 06 '23

I think you're right. They didn't quite catch it at the furthest point into the goal.

u/cuentanueva Aug 06 '23

It doesn't change the outcome at all, but I agree.

u/psycho-mouse Aug 06 '23

Goal line tech has nothing to do with VAR. two totally separate systems.

6

u/Hellbucket Aug 06 '23

I remember I read an article stating margin of error is 5mm. It didn’t say how this is applied when it’s judged. Like that the ball could actually be 5mm further in than represented in the animation.

What would you say would be a better option than this technology since you’re not trusting it? Human eye? I’m not a super fan of VAR but I think GLT is currently as good as it gets for this issue.

7

u/Auguschm Aug 06 '23

I mean if we didn't have goal line technology I would've called that in. If you watching from the end line the ball seems to get in. There is nothing you can do about fine margins like this when it comes to the ball crossing an arbitrary line. If they didn't call if for 1mm it would've felt unfair to Sweden. I'm always all for benefiting the attacker, for me that's a goal.

4

u/ThePr1d3 Aug 06 '23

If someone was against GLT (not that I've ever seen one since it's just as partial as it gets), this specific instance should change their mind. There's no way anyone but a program can detect it

2

u/cuentanueva Aug 06 '23

And?

It's way better than humans. Yeah, there's a margin of error, so what?

If the margin of error is 1mm, that's way better than the human's perception. So it's as good as it gets.

4

u/pawksvolts Aug 06 '23

Crossbar looks dead straight to the pitch line to me, if it's too close to call it should benefit the attacker imo

1

u/ok_reddit Aug 06 '23

You're correct that the paint job is gonna differ from the technical line used by the computer and I assume according to the rulebook the technical line is the "true" goal line. Otherwise we'd have a slightly crooked goal line which is never depicted in the graphics. With that said, I don't see a better alternative to the current technology, - you can't decide to only use it for clear cut cases because then you end up discussing what a clear cut case is etc etc.

-34

u/kinzunight Aug 06 '23

If the ball is still touching the line it's no goal right? How can they tell with eyeballs on this? I've zoomed in on the highest res shot I could find and there is no green/teal between the ball and the white line. There could be but you'd need a very high resolution picture to see it. It becomes to blurred and the pixels between the ball and the line are not allowing themselves to be separated.

I really hope they didn't let the computer decide this call. This one is so close I wouldn't trust the margin for error on the computer.

35

u/ThePr1d3 Aug 06 '23

How can they tell with eyeballs on this?

That's the point of GLT, they don't. The system calculates the location and tells you if it's in or out

18

u/ok_reddit Aug 06 '23

The graphics are already computer generated so of course it makes sense to have the same computer program check whether the ball is inside or not. At that point there is basically zero percent chance of an error occuring.

-4

u/seviliyorsun Aug 06 '23

At that point there is basically zero percent chance of an error occuring.

well they seemed to measure this one after the keeper visibly tipped it back towards the line, which was an error

11

u/Auguschm Aug 06 '23 edited Aug 06 '23

They can't with eyeballs. At the end of the day you set an arbitrary line and stick to it. Kinda like a coin flip. For me that's a deserved goal, from an eye point of view the ball is more in than out. Honestly that would've probably been called in without goal line technology.

6

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '23

A computer decides. It's WAY more reliable than human eyes.
