Denmark's exit from Euro 2024 has sparked significant controversy due to two pivotal VAR decisions during their match against Germany. The Danish coach, Kasper Hjulmand, expressed his frustration over the 'ridiculous' handball rules and the penalty awarded to Germany, which he deemed unfair. Michael Oliver, the referee, has faced severe criticism for his decisions, with Denmark's Joachim Andersen calling it 'one of the worst refereeing performances' of his career. Former goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel also criticized the officiating, stating that the referee, Stuart Attwell, made it too easy for Germany by disallowing a goal. Despite the controversy, Germany advanced to the quarter-final slot.
