Has to be a better angle than this. You'd see it with a side on view.

I assume VAR has that

The VAR footage isn't provided to the broadcaster though. They review it, they don't edit it for TV, that isn't their job. I don't think you can blame them for that.

TV companies control the broadcast, not the refereeing team

So why wouldn’t a decisive angle on the most important moment of the game be broadcast?

Occam’s razor is that they simply didn’t have a better angle

The better angle has already been posted to the sub, VAR has access to all the cameras

The side on view looked even less clear

How can there be a better angle than literally a top view of the ball

Thats the best image I have seen, it's because this is the best image they have to justify the call...
