hoofing someone in the knee at full pelt has traditionally been frowned upon iirc ime. granted Norway would have got away with it sans VAR

Yeah, that's more clearly a penalty than the second Spanish one which was a similar offence.

Sucks, but we put up a decent fight and should beat SK to advance

Engen flicked the ball and caught the French player’s thigh as she jumped in. It wasn’t particularly dangerous play, it wasn’t deliberate and she seems to have got the ball. idk
― ShariVari, Wednesday, 12 June 2019 20:58 (four years ago) link
is there supposed to be provision made for when a leg follows through after a clearance and connects w/ an opponent? feel like there isn't really but not dredging up any obvious comparable incidents rn
lot of ppl taking about a two-footed tackle by Torrent in the same incident, seemed like more of a block to me. still think a penalty is correct w/ the caveat of it being a bad advert for VAR all the same insofar as it reaffirms how many grey areas there are and always will be

How did france look? Unlucky but figured it out? Evenly matched?
― alomar lines, Thursday, 13 June 2019 03:18 (four years ago) link
thought france looked p good. norway did cause the odd problem on the flanks, i don't think the french full backs are particularly strong, but their CB pairing is great, not just renard but the #19 as well. diani had a spectacular first half down the right. not sure of the permeations of the draw but they looked solid last 4 prospects, although i didn't see either brasil's or england's opening games. wasn't that convinced by gauvin at CF but she did score.
didn't think the pen was soft.

var on a possible pen but thought there was a hanball in the build up to the incident
― oscar bravo, Thursday, 13 June 2019 16:22 (four years ago) link
no pen
now that's what i would rate as a 'soft' penalty. marta scores.

Offside given about 20 seconds after Scotland player (2 yards onside) receives the ball. Japan go down the other end and ping it straight over the keeper’s head into the net, 1-0 Japan
― Blandford Forum, Friday, 14 June 2019 13:27 (four years ago) link
Japan are far better and deserve the lead but yeah it was a total nonsense

Scotland keeper is very bad?
― Blandford Forum, Friday, 14 June 2019 13:31 (four years ago) link
The game plan seems to be long floated diagonals which the lone striker has no chance of reaching, combined with not clearing the ball properly.

This is a little harsh on Jamaica, who've played some neat stuff in the second half.
― Michael Jones, Friday, 14 June 2019 17:42 (four years ago) link
Yeah, clinical stuff from Italy, but no way did that feel like a 5-0 game on the balance of play. Football, a cruel mistress etc. Hope Jamaica get a goal at least for their efforts, and against australia's dodge defence they might well.

No, no, no.

30 mins later......
just seen the incident from this angle.It's a stonewaller I'm afraid.Allyson Swaby gets nowhere near it and it is Barbara Bonansea's own touch which takes the ball away.

Many xps to Jim, literally exact same story for me - and she went on to play cricket for Scotland. Could’ve done with her in the goal today I reckon
