Women’s World Cup France 2019, 7 June - 7 July

Astonishing.

Really laughable, feel so bad for these players, it’s a mess

ridiculous, jfc this is a shambles of a tournament

Phew

properly thought they were gonna find a reason not to give that

Indeed, you have to assume FIFA are determined that France win this.

feel like they just need to get em into the last four then the bums seat themselves

They wouldn’t have disallowed their perfectly good first goal if that was the case!

Yeah if fifa were competent enough to illuminati some team or other into the final they would probably do it in a less insane fashion

idk there was just an *extremely* incorrect fk against brazil as they were bursting into the box

this ET will be carnage

nicely taken that

eh didn't think cameroon were remotely hard done by. their reactions were p pathetic imo. var during this wc has shown that the price that is paid by the process of getting decisions correct isn't really worth it to the spectacle of the game itself.

What about the spectacle of screeching about VAR?

and phil neville can stfu acting like he wasn't part of a team where the manager wasn't fine with them chasing a ref around the pitch to get a decision or kicking reyes out of the game whenever they played arsenal

Suddenly baffled by the US broadcast rights for this thing -- today's matches are on both FS1 and NBCSN, direct competitors.

Ah, I guess NBC has the Spanish-language rights in North America? Looks like NBCSN is simulcasting the Telemundo coverage.

guess what? it's a penalty!

actually this looks like the clearest penalty of the entire tournament so far tbf

yankees are a wrecking machine

Lol that explains why my SlingTv broadcast is in Spanish

oh holy shit that was a blunder from the goalie.

an absolute beauty of a strike though. chef kisses fingers stuff

LOL

everyone ragging on england for slack play yesterday can be made to watch that tbh

spain getting cocky and wanting a red card too

We didn’t see a proper replay but I reckon if you zoomed in and slowed it down and ignored any context that’s a red all day long

"hoof it to Rapinoe" works often but maybe wanna try some other tactics here and there

The pace of this shit is great

feel like US are asking the questions. every through ball they attempt comes close to working out

spain are getting forward in numbers surprisingly well, good game

Yeah, this is rolling pretty well all around.

What a bullshit yellow

at last! controversy!

Nah this is still fun

Yes, fun game.

yeah good game. the longer it goes on, the better spain look

bullshit pennn

Yea wtf

fucksake

Penaltyball has been superseded by VARball.

No way will it stand

since when did catching somebody with your studs in the box after the ball has gone not a penalty?

RIGGED

VAR ran so much smoother in last year's cup

Xpost

she pulled out of the tackle and barely brushed her. 'caught with studs' is nonsense

it's not really. you're not allowed to have contact with the opposition player with your studs up? like ever?

this thread is 85% moaning about calls lol

Fair penalty call. Good shot. Go USA!

a lot of people are demanding a standard of leniency in refereeing that doesn't exist in men's professional football

Yeah, I think it was a penalty, just a pity it was for USA.

Basically no need whatsoever to go to VAR.
