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

"context and any idea of intentionality" seems relevant wrt viewer/poster reactions as this tournament (as w/ world cups in general [also this is a net positive I should probably state]) has definitely hooked ppl who don't necessarily watch that much football

reading liveblogs etc which platform shouty dissenting voices for even the clearly correct decisions has a signal-to-noise effect as well I guess

Although what Jim in Vancouver says makes sense. I don't watch enough soccer games. Thanks dudes!

It's not really overtime though. Stoppage time is meant to make up for time lost due to injuries, substitutions, goal celebrating, but is still considered part of the half it occurs in.

The correct analogue for overtime are those two extra 15 minute periods when the game is tied after regulation in a tournament match

i think the issue with VAR is that in football lots of stuff that technically is not allowed happens and we expect it to be allowed to happen. we applaud a referee who lets a game flow, we hate one who inserts themselves into the game too much. with VAR this expected refereeing of flow, subjectivity and feeling is crushed like a butterfly on a wheel

If it makes anybody feel better, we get terrible officiating decisions at twice the rate in MLS with VAR in tow.

Say "Ted Unkel" at a game or "Chris Penso" and get a free beer poured on your head

Not to beat a dead horse, but I Wiki'd it just for my own knowledge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_football#Duration_and_tie-breaking_methods

Answer: additional time

In Argentina stoppage time is known as "el tiempo de cangrejos inoportunos", the phrase popularised in the mid-2000s by Spanish-speaking Manchester United fans enamoured of the late-game ball retention skills of one Michael Carrick

all around the world

:D

Had no idea Phil Collins was coaching the Canadian squad

I can't tell one Swedish player from another tbh... oh, hold on, there's a brunette there.

Canadian players have awful touch.

0 shots on goal

the gaffer of the canadian team looks like monty burns' son

This game's dull enough to be a Men's World Cup game.

Both squads combined for three shots, zero on frame. Riveting

Blackstenius - great real name.

pass cant be any more perfectly placed than that

Wonderful assist

Honestly amazing.

Canada deserved that with how careless they are with the ball

Whole sequence was nice

Sweden carving through right now

there's a real gulf in class between this game and the one earlier.

O here we go, VAR.

Sigh

"A surefire penalty kick"

Inevitable given the nature of the decisions to date and probably right within the new rules but it absolutely looked like she was trying to draw her arm into her body.

Obvious pen tbf

Justice

Ridiculous to book her though.

Booked for someone kicking a ball that hits your arm.

Gonna be hilarious when they miss

damn what a save

Yes to PK, ridic to book

great save, can't wait for it to be chalked off

huh. nice

justice is done

Are yall watching a stream or something, a minute behind?

my stream is pretty behind, it's even behind my coworker's stream by like 10 seconds

Oh right, i'll try to avoid spoilers.

Yes. SlingTV is at least 20 secs behind. By the time i saw the save i had already seen Spottie's post about it

I mean i avoid this thread until after i see something hapoen so i don't consider spoilers a big deal

Weird how the draw has worked out that every second round match is team from Europe v team from elsewhere, even down to being that way round.

Mostly down to European teams winning the groups (or being Scotland) but not quite just that

I'm watching it on television - a technology which may catch on one day.

Canada surrendering somewhat meekly here.

SPOILER ALERT

I suppose you realize this means VAR!
