Why do Germany play against Switzerland in white?

A look at the schedule for the last group stage match in Germany is confusing some fans in Switzerland and Germany. This is the match on 23 June (9pm ARD and Magenta TV) according to official UEFA rules.

The reason is the Continental Confederation’s classification system for the preliminary round. Germany was placed at the top of A1. Switzerland ranked fourth in Group A. In the game board dummy, A1-A2 is played first, A3-A4, then A1-A3, A2-A4. But then there is an exchange. The A4 gets the home advantage, so to speak. Otherwise, the Swiss will always officially be the visiting team and will always be at a disadvantage when it comes to choosing the color of their shirts, for example. They are allowed to select the official home team.

As the German Football Association team will visit the country on June 23, they will once again play in their white shirts. Switzerland chose its first red kit. Therefore, Germany’s pink shirt, which is very popular among fans, will not be worn again as was the case in the 2-0 win over Hungary. (dpa)

Bond coach Ronald Koeman has no understanding of VAR’s decision in the 0-0 draw in the European Championship group stage match between the Netherlands and France. RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons’ goal in the 69th minute was disallowed by the video referee.

Teammate Denzel Dumfries is said to have tripped France goalkeeper Mike Maignan in an offside position. He was standing next to the goalkeeper when the soccer ball went into the goal. Koeman said: “Personally, I think the goal should have been awarded.”

“The Dumfries position is offside, that’s true, but it doesn’t bother the goalkeeper. That’s why it’s legal,” the former national player said, and was also upset that the decision took so long. “You need five minutes to check it, I don’t understand it. Again: it doesn’t bother the goalkeeper.”

He confirmed that his fellow coach Didier Deschamps believed the decision was correct. The French coach said: “It became clear to me immediately, but I don’t know why it took so long.” (dpa)
