FIFA Women's World Cup 2023

Thought the ref got that about right.

Rather watch paint dry most of the football is shite and that’s being generous

The football isn't too bad - you just have to remember it's women. The pace 'n power of the men's game hasn't translated into the women's game, and that's before we talk about technique and ball control. Despite what the media and women's game acolytes will tell us they aren't the same game.

Strange that the pen was ruled out for a foul before hand apparently by Russo (which I don’t think it was) then the ref decides to book the player who fouled Kelly yet didn’t give the pen ..baffling ..

I have tried to watch it, the punditry is annoying in the mens game I find it unbearable in the Womens game.

That said if people enjoy it then crack on, I am rarely right about anything.

If she's getting a card (because it's after the supposed foul) then it is definitely a red. Studs all the way down the shin.

It strikes me that VAR allows the ref to manipulate what is written in the LotG. As long as summat is 'decided' and the paying public have a decision explained to them FIFA would think everything is fine and dandy. It's not a yellow card - it's what the Yanquis would call in their law courts 'reckless endangerment' and that is a red card. Another patently wrong decision.

 

[G-Star Medium Rare]

How can a yellow card against a defender for a foul in the penalty area not be given as a penalty?

 

[Gray]

England have scored one goal in their last 4 games (including this one), that is the fundamental problem.

 

[KearsleyBlue]

This is so bad.

Ooooh gotta be a pen. If Jack's was a pen then this is!
