Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman is fuming over a controversial first-half penalty in his side’s 2-1 loss to England in the 2024 European Championship semifinals and blamed video assistant referee for “destroying” soccer.
Dumfries caught England’s Harry Kane on the follow-through of his challenge after Kane had already sent his shot over the crossbar. Ronald Koeman, Head Coach of the Netherlands, reacts during the UEFA EURO 2024 semi-final match between Netherlands and England at Football Stadium Dortmund on July 10, 2024 in Dortmund, Germany.No call had been originally made, but referee Felix Zwayer was then advised to check on the play by VAR.
Ollie Watkins scored the game-winning goal for England in stoppage time in the second half to propel the team into the final.“Football is getting destroyed by these type of decisions by VAR. This penalty would not have been given in England. What should you do as a defender? I thought the referee whistled for a lot of silly things, but that’s not why we lose.”
