StaffsRam Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Nigeria were unlucky. Very unlucky in fact. That being said, I'm not sure what logic was applied in overturning our penalty. Goal line technology I'm all for. Anything that requires analysis, or is subject to interpretation, please just f*** it off. GB SPORTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a challenge for the ball in the air one of their players went in elbow up and then fell down clutching her head as our player was on the floor hurt.

It could get even more out of hand if it includes a review of the events up to the decision I guess is the reasoning. Still hate VAR. Team Kylie 1-0 Team Sarah Lund Not so, earlier in the tournament there was an incident missed by the ref, which was caught by the VAR team. It showed that the ref had missed a foul in the penalty area on one of the English girls, but after showing the incident several times showing that it was a penalty, they then showed an incident on the lead up to the penalty showing that another England player had first fouled the player conceding the penalty. This resulted in a free kick for the opposition. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigeria clearly the better team on the night, but lacking either the experience or mental toughness to get through the drama of a penalty shoot out. The experience of the Euros came through for this England team. Overcame a penalty award being overturned by VAR (which looked very harsh) and a sending off too. It will give them huge confidence boost. But with so many players missing the next round, it'll likely be about grinding out results Germany-style from now on. I don't think grinding out a 1-1 draw with South Korea will get us very far! 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does there have to be an actual decision before var gets cranked up to review? Some commentators seemed to think that var couldn't intervene in the Lucy bronze elbow as the ref hadn't given a foul? Crap performance,but we actually improved when we went down to 10, ironically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No of course not or how would it ever intervene on something the referee completely missed (like violent conduct etc). RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk Thrust Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Agree with previous posts. Nigeria were unlucky and were definitely the better team. Just lacked the mental strength with the shoot out. And is it just me (probably) but did a lot of the commentary sound like Carry On type double entendres? “She’s a wonderful dribbler” ”Unlucky. She just couldn’t get on the end of it” ”She went down very easily” ”Oh she took that shot straight in her face” Mucker1884 and Ram-Alf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oomarkwright Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Terrible game this. Very bitty, no chances. Lots of falling over. Fancy England against either of these. Got 0-0 on it. therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I’d think about clearing your internet history before your mrs starts asking questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
