Over the line by a hair's breadth, not even millimetres.

Interesting that goal line technology is black or white, but can it really be ThAT precise?

In the old days it's a miss and in the very old days gentlemen would probably agree that it be retaken. Indeed, you wonder whether Corinthian Casuals vs Royal Engineers ever had a penalty shootout, or the like.

Rapinoe's miss was key. The legend blots her copybook. Not the first.

How far back are you going fro that to be a miss? Pretty certain in the 45 years I've been watching the Albion, penalties that go in off the keeper have always been a goal.

Thought that was a bit bizarre because if they have GLT then the ref should have had an immediate signal to her watch confirming it was over the line.

The linesman reacted straight away to her watch going off, so I was a bit confused as to why the referee seemed so uncertain.

Walsh back for England as they face Nigeria this morning in the knock out stages. Come on England!!

Favourite with the bookies now, what could possibly go wrong?

Come on Ladies!

I just saw a clear albion flag in the right corner that Nigeria are attacking.

 

[zeetha]

Nigeria have nothing to lose and are definitely not looking overawed by facing England and giving us some problems. If the team didn't know that they needed to be at their best, they do now. Need to do better keeping the ball and not giving it away cheaply

THWACK!

Did you see that shot cannon off the bar?

The commentary is annoyingly out of sync, unless Robyn Cowen can see into the future. Calling shots and saves before they happen.

 

[maltaseagull]

England being seiously outplayed so far.

Commentary is behind the action

Commentary is behind the action

Ahead on my TV. Logically, commentary is always behind the action. It’s fractional but noticeable on key moments. You don’t shout that the keeper’s made a great save, for instance, just as she touches it.

*That Nigeria save sounded about right so it’s possible they’ve now addressed the problem.

Anyone noticed the seagull flag by the corner

I was noticing the same. Takes me back to when sky commentaries were so bad you had to turn the sound down and put Alan Green on.

Ooh, penalty.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

With the greatest respect to the achievement of the women's soccer team, at times it's like watching schoolboy football where everyone runs towards the ball. That incident just now with 16 players in the box was crazy

 

[jackanada]

Very reminiscent of when the men undeservedly beat Cameroon.

VAR

Boooooooooo

See post 247.

What the f*** no penalty?

 

[Bozza]

Why was that not a penalty?
