When asked about the handball, the national coach becomes clear

German women are defeated by England 1:2

The German soccer players have missed the European title. At the famous Wembley Stadium in London, the English team won 2-1 after extra time. One of the most important players on the pitch is missing.

After losing the European Championship final against England, those responsible at the DFB are struggling with the video assistants. It’s about a possible handball in the 26th minute that was checked. National coach Voss-Tecklenburg finds clear words – and also criticizes the referee.

SThey were disappointed, sad – and also quarreled a little. With himself, but above all with the video assistants. It was about the scene in the 26th minute, with the score at 0-0 in the women’s EURO final between England and Germany, when a possible handball by England captain Leah Williamson was checked in the penalty area. However, there was no penalty.

National coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg spoke of a “clear handball” after the 2-1 defeat after extra time on Sunday evening at Wembley Stadium.

When asked if her team was cheated on, the 54-year-old replied: “I don’t want to put that word in my mouth. But that shouldn’t happen at the level of a final at the European Championships.”

“That’s very disappointing”

She criticized the Ukrainian referee Kateryna Monzul for not watching the scene on the pitchside screen. Immediately after the final whistle, the national coach said in an interview with ARD: “Handball. You have to see that. You don’t understand that at all. It doesn’t help to cart behind it. The people who are responsible have to think about it. But we don’t want to make that dependent on a decision.”

That’s very disappointing. When that’s taken away from you, it hurts,” he said.

The debate about the unpunished handball was reminiscent of the legendary World Cup final in 1966 – at that time the men’s teams from England and Germany met at the famous Wembley. England, who won the final 4-2 aet, benefited from a controversial Geoff Hurst goal to make it 3-2. In the 101st minute on the evening of July 30, 1966, Hurst overcame the German goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski with a shot from close range. The ball bounced off the bottom of the bar and was then headed over the goal by German defender Wolfgang Weber. The Swiss referee Gottfried Dienst first decided on a corner kick and only after consultation with the Soviet linesman on goal.
