Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman expressed his frustration with the use of VAR in football following his team's 2-1 defeat to England in the Euro 2024 semifinal. The match, held in Dortmund, saw England secure a spot in the final against Spain after a controversial penalty decision went in their favor.
The turning point of the game came in the 18th minute when a penalty was awarded to England after a challenge by Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries on Harry Kane. Despite Koeman's protests that it was not a legitimate penalty, the decision stood, leading to England's equalizer from the spot.
