FIFA explains why Germany's goal was ruled out following coach's 'scandal' remark
FIFA's head of referees, Pierluigi Collina, clarified that Germany's goal during extra time against Paraguay was overturned because Waldemar Anton interfered with goalkeeper Orlando Gill prior to Tah’s header. Collina noted that while players are permitted to hold their ground, intentionally moving to obstruct an opponent without making a play for the ball is considered a foul, particularly when it involves a goalkeeper. Germany's manager, Julian Nagelsmann, had previously described the officiating call as a "scandal."
