Denmark had been well in the game against Germany and thought they had taken the lead when Joachim Andersen converted a chance three minutes after half-time. But the goal was disallowed by VAR for a fractional offside and, almost immediately afterwards, Andersen was penalised for a harsh handball picked up by the video officials.'I have the photo here, it was one centimetre', he said of the offside call. 'In terms of statistics and date it doesn’t make sense. This is not how we are supposed to be using VAR. It’s one centimetre'. Hjulmand continued: 'I’m so tired of the ridiculous handball rules. We cannot require our defenders to run with arms like this [flat to their side], it’s not natural'
