Gary Neville demands ‘show us the pictures’ after Japan goal that ‘doesn’t feel right’

Gary Neville has demanded that FIFA show the decision behind Japan's second goal "as it doesn't fel right."

Japan were awarded a second goal against Spain – sending Germany home – after a lengthy VAR check in their World Cup clash on Thursday evening. However, images broadcast appeared to show the ball going out of play in the build-up.

And after the game, Neville said on ITV: "Look, I don’t believe in conspiracies. I believe in this tournament, they’ve not demonstrated it. That high cam which is on the line tends to suggest there might be some of the ball over the line but I’m struggling with it.

"From that very first offside goal, Ecuador vs Qatar, I’ve struggled and found it uncomfortable that we haven’t been shown the angles and correct camera – it doesn’t feel right."

Neville then finished his rant by saying: "This is not subjective, this is a black-and-white situation. Show us the pictures."

Graeme Souness agreed with Neville: "The longer they don’t come up with a picture, that last bit would show me that ball is out of play. The longer they don’t produce that picture which shows conclusively that its not gone out of play, you’d think there’s something untoward going on."

The goal meant Japan topped the group ahead of Spain and Germany, with the Germans heading home from Qatar.

Spain, on the other hand, secured second place, setting up a clash with Group E winners Morocco in the knockout stages.
