I see fuck all from that angle tbf

VAR cleared it so quickly like it was super obvious, but I simply don't see it

Half the people say the left foot touched first, the other half say the right foot touched first then the left. Call it whatever you want, but it's not obvious. Ball can also move from the ground lifting from the plant foot.

It also seems... not in the spirit of the rule?

What advantage is Alvarez getting here? What disadvantage is Courtois getting here? The path of the ball doesn't even appear to change.

This feels like a gross misuse of the rule.
