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

"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!

No pen bcz offside

sound the VAR signal

xp lmao

Canada look quite bad

They haven’t looked capable of scoring at all. Sweden have had all the creativity.

Idk why Sweden get frustrated losing the ball. Wait five secs, Canada will give it right back

Well deserved!

Oh God, don't tell me...

Ah, come on.

... sanity, at last.

Canada seemed to be playing like they thought they were tied for a while

Just not good enough.

It wasn't a spoiler Tom! :D

who is jim going to root for ~now~ :(

grandmother was an italian citizen so the bandwagoning continues tomorrow

(xxp) No, I meant, "Oh God don't tell me, another VARcical penalty decision".

(xp) After that it has to England, flying the flag for the UK.

I know, I know. I'd never say anything about any VAR decision iirc xp

Don't go with Orange Jim, we'll bottle it tomorrow I think

(xp) After that it has to England, flying the flag for the UK.

love to see the lionesses, champions of the world, visiting number 10 to see bojo. #bettertogether

It's a perfect storm.

only took 10 minutes for a VAR check, this one was very fast and unobtrusive though, only noticed it due to the chyron coming up at the bottom of the screen.

italy had a goal chopped off for offside - it was offside but the flag came late as is the style at this world cup

italy scores! giacinti starts and ends the movement by robbing the chinese right back then after a goalmouth scramble stabs it home

left back even

I've only caught the last 15 but I'm gagging for China to score here

italy looked much better first-half but seems to be all china now. not sure they'll be able to make up the 2-0 deficit though,

Yeah they're like 80% good but I also wouldn't be surprised if they don't score

Nothing happens when China are in or near the 16. Bad decision after bad decision.
