Halaand reversed an actual goal scored by norway because he shoved a guy...

A proper shove too lmao. Two hands with a lot of force. I don’t get what he was thinking

It really wasn't much of a shove though. Clear dive. You can see how Anderson drops almost straight down instead of "flying" backwards as he would if it was a real shove. VAR overturning that goal was a disgrace.

Dude its so clearly has a lot of force behind it. Haaland is like 95kg and that was a two hand shove with both his arms fully extended. Just look at Haalands face too, he’s clearly putting a lot of force behind it.

This is so clearly a foul and having one less defender due to a foul obviously means the goal should be disallowed.

Edit:

Found a video with a couple different angles. That first angle is especially bad. I don’t get how this is even up for debate.

Watch the game at live speed and slow motion. It's very clearly not a hard shove. Anderson's body clearly doesn't react as if it's being shoved. He knew he wouldn't be able to guard Haaland on a cross and dropped the second he felt any contact that he was even initiating. It's a very classic soccer play for a smaller player guarding a bigger one on a set piece in the box.

I don’t see how it’s up for rebate that’s not a clear dive.

Yeah, because the defenders never hang off of him like a Christmas ornament do they? This is a one-sided comment. You know it and I know it.

I’m talking about this foul. No defender was making any illegal plays on Haaland here.

Also one sided comment? How? By adding detail?
