[Football] Women’s WC Final - who is watching?

[KZNSeagull]

I would say that she was off her line but no-one noticed so that's fine.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

VAR is awful in the female game as well then

Stonewall pen that took 5 minutes to check

 

[BrightonCottager]

Even I could lipread Mary Earp's reaction to the excellent save, though it looked like she moved before kick taken.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Really harsh. If it’s takes that long to decide, they’re clearly not certain and should go with the on field decision. Ridiculous.

They should have been certain it was obvious. Hand moved towards the ball end off 100% penalty.

 

[US Seagull]

Is the save going to be a turning point? England have been second best all game. 2-0 down would likely have been the end.

 

[vegster]

ball glances hand. then 5 min to decide. tired of this crap.

In the slow mo replays, the ref was about 10 yards away and looking directly at the incident. ...should have given it when it happened or not at all.

 

[Gazwag]

Did var forget to look at the keeper

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

The penalty should have been re-taken because Earps' foot was clearly off her line before the ball was struck. Great if England are inspired to go on and get back into the game, but Spain are all better footballers. Their first touch is really good, while many of our players couldn't trap a bag of cement.

Maybe you're allowed to swat the ball away with the back of your hand in the women's game?

Decisions making FFS

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Why do we have 2 threads going?

Which is the official one?

Whichever one you choose it to be.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Close from James. That's better

 

[nsclurker]

Quality shithousing from Lucy Bronze. Poor pen, but decent save.

The keeper can move, but has to have one foot on the line when the ball is kicked.

I'm not sure she did, from the head-on angle, but VAR didn't flag anything, so...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

In the slow mo replays, the ref was about 10 yards away and looking directly at the incident. ...should have given it when it happened or not at all.

Refs bottle making a on field decision now.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Decisions making FFS

I agree. The women get the ball and then look to see where to pass it. They’re not playing as a team at all.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Nice of Spain to slow their counter-attack down there to allow England to get back into position. Very sporting

[Algernon]

What a f***ing nonsense

 

[nicko31]

Ref just shocking at any level
