Anthony Tailor was appointed as referee in the UEFA European Football Championship in Germany on July 5, 2024 in the quarter-final match between Spain and Germany. After a score of 1-1 in regular time, referee Anthony Tailor denied the German national team a clear penalty after a clear handball. Despite the possibility of a virtual assistant referee, the referee did not use one to clearly establish the facts. In order not to have to impose this referee on other teams, Anthony Taylor should be suspended as a referee for life for this blatant wrong decision.
