German midfielder Toni Kroos has reacted to the UEFA Referees Committee's admission that a penalty should have been awarded in cases similar to Germany's World Cup match against Spain, where Marc Cucurella's handball sparked controversy.
*Kroos' Response*
"It took them three months to realize it was a handball, something that almost everyone saw in just a second." Kroos said with a hint of irony, "Thank you, it wasn't that big of a deal."
*Sarcastic Jab*
Kroos jokingly asked if he could proclaim himself European champion now that the mistake has been officially acknowledged, "I don't think so."
*UEFA's Rule Change*
The UEFA Referees Committee has confirmed changes to handball rules, emphasizing:
- Intentional or not, handballs will be penalized if:
- Arm is above shoulder level
- Arm is in an unnatural position
- Ball makes contact with arm
*Implications*
This rule change aims to provide clarity and consistency in handball decisions, potentially impacting future matches.
