As soon as it hits the ground it is in play
On a different forum, it was claimed that even though the ball is live and the first player to touch it may continue with it, a goal either way would not count unless touched by at least one other player on either team.
Another VAR call on the GK line during the penalty? (and again on the second shot, there was a line violation by players)...this one was a closer call since under the new rules she's allowed to take the step forward but it seems her back heel stuttered forward too. Tough as well since that one decided the match.
Also another exceptional performance by a goalkeeper (this one the Chinese keeper....and though granted all Spain's shots were saveable and most didn't carry very much force, it was still a flawless performance).

If Spain could work out a finisher, they could get dangerous.
They play a nice game, just can't get it in the net.
The Chinese keeper did save the few real chances they had.

Back when FIFA/IFAB changed the rule about passing back to the keeper sometime in the 90's, I was only following indoor soccer (Sockers!) and ignorant of the impact for years. When my boys got old enough to play on an organized outdoor team, their coach told me about it. I laughed. How are they going to call THAT? A little research will show that the transition was not smooth, with IFAB having to issue emergency amendments ("...obvious trickery...", lots of debate over the overlapping meanings of "deliberate" and "intentional", etc) when players started taking advantage of the loopholes in the change.
England just scored over Cameroun from an indirect kick as a result of that rule change.

First time I’ve seen it actually happen. *edit: seen the indirect from inside the box
Crazy game. I had it on mute and was trying to figure out the huddle at the end of the first half. I thought Cameroon played strong the second half (or England’s defense isn’t that good).
Gotta find a replay of the Cameroon denied goal. Sure looked onside live.
The Cameroun attempt was offside - easy to see it with VAR. Before halftime, the Cameroun players were pissed because VAR overruled an offside call that resulted in a goal counting for England.
Was possession the call? I had to run out after that. Didnt know if the call was possession, handball or charge. None of which were remotely possible, particularly possession.
Is clear and obvious for VAR not being used in WWC? Sure seems like it.
