Judge’s judge in the European Championship has sparked debate. The semi-finals of the European Football Championships between Spain and Germany aroused strong reactions due to a violation of the rule. This is a new international rule that limits the goalkeeper’s right to hold the ball in his hands for more than eight seconds. In a match played on Wednesday night, German goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger slowed down several times and kept the ball well above the allowed time, at worst up to 17 seconds. However, Edina Alves Batista, the Brazilian referee, did not intervene in any way.
