What was most impressive for me was Hope Solo's analysis.....blooming perceptive I thought That lady has clearly got some tactical nous. Scotland just cant catch a break with VAR. Its quite refreshing that not one of the 2 players or manager mentioned it during the after match interviews. Camt imagine mens football being quite so magnanimous.

Haven't been that impressed with England's performances so far but hope they grow into the tournament. i think Japan will suit England better than the organized 11 behind the ball physical Argentinians Could be a few goals in that match, will make sure not to miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt see the game, just the highlights and can only assume it wasnt being used for that game. About a million times more a penalty than the one england got against them.

About a million times more a penalty than the one england got against them. Its being used in every game. The VAR team would of reviewed it but decided not to ask the ref to stop the game and ask her to review it by the side of the pitch. The linesmen are also not sure whats going on. They are letting the game go on too far before flagging for offside, sometimes a good 30 secs. Its an interesting discussion I guess. The womans game is different to the mens, no doubt. I would say that the standard overall is not as good. Do they accept that some of the officials are not to the same standard as those in the mens game? I was in favour of VAR as a concept, but some of the decisions and the review process in this World cup has spoiled the enjoyment of the game as a spectacle.

ramit Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Watching Canada VS New Zealand, Canada being heavy favorites here. An unusual incident just occurred, a New Zealand player gets hit on the hand by the ball and appears to have broken her wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk Thrust Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Just watching France v Nigeria. France by far the better team but the standard of football is very poor. National league stuff. A pity because one or two games have been pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it certainly highlighted a big problem with VAR at penalties The French player took a woeful penalty that went wide. Keeper was nowhere near it, but because she was a fraction off her line - they ordered it to be retaken. That's nuts surely? The point about being off your line is that it makes you nearer the ball and therefore more likely to save it. If they spoon the ball wide, the fact you were off your line is not a factor. She then retook the penalty and scored - yet replays showed that French players were already encroaching the penalty area when she kicked it. No VAR decision there though, because she scored anyway. Had the keeper saved it and someone scored the rebound you assume they would have ordered another retake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I don't really see what advantage the keep gained by moving a couple of inches off her line in this instance (would have been different if she'd have saved it), it seems bizarre.

I'm not even sure that they got it right - if you read the VAR advice pages on the FIFA website https://football-technology.fifa.com/en/innovations/var-at-the-womens-world-cup/ Quote The video assistant referee team supports the decision-making process of the referee in four game-changing situations: Goals and offences leading up to a goal Penalty decisions and offences leading up to a penalty Direct red card incidents only Mistaken identity Penalty decisions are then classed as Quote foul leading up to penalty foul by attacking player foul committed inside or outside the penalty area ball out of play leading up to penalty offside position leading up to penalty None of which cover someone missing a penalty.

Ramkesian Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Having watched women's football from the early days you can see a marked improvement in skill and stamina levels. The only problem is I keep having horrendous flash backs, several players on most teams look like Robbie Savage from the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 So the Lionesses go through, but oh Scotland. Another hard var call as a saved penalty is ordered to be retaken and they blow a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 with Argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost their way in the 2nd half somewhat- think some tired. But yeah, one of the youngsters was playing the midfield pivot and another was basically shooting on sight. Think the ladies have been improving and Phil Neville has apparently used 19 of his 23 in 3 games, which is something I've long advocated....doing enough to get the best next round opponent whilst not burning out key squad members. ?

1of4 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Noticed that another new rule as been introduced during this tournament. That an attacking player cannot stand within one yard of the defensive wall during the taking of a free kick. Is this new law going to be implemented into our domestic leagues this coming season?
