can't agree with that. Spain controlled the game and went behind to a fluke for all that "Spain couldn't handle their pace" - South Africa had one shot in the first half Spain's problem was that their main striker was never in the box to get on the end of anything, she was forever drifting out wide red card was probably a bit harsh but result was more than fair in the end  |

Simply they play a lot more games then the men The Senior Womens Team competes in the Olympics so I believe there is qualifiers for that, as well as qualifiers for World Cup and for the continental tournaments too.

I was curious myself, it seems the answer is that they simply play more games! There are fewer club games and more international games and tournaments. It also seems that they start their international careers younger, as a rule, and the oldest competitive underage football is u-19s. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Scotland's original away kit was yellow and pink, so the women wearing pink isn't a mile away from tradition. However I do agree that international kits must be made to conform to a proper standard. On the Scotland Argentina game, the pedantry from the officials, over the keeper taking a step off the line, turned the game into a farce. The game had everything you'd want, and a heroic penalty save was the icing on the cake. It didn't need the officials taking over and creating a massive anti-climax.

Chile blew their chance at a knockout spot. Missing a penalty in the last few mins to put them through as one of the best 3rd place sides. Shocker of a penalty against a keeper who looked a quarter the size of the goals. VAR in this one taking minutes again to give what was a clear penalty.

VAR in it's current guise is an abomination. The English penalty (which is clearly a penalty when seen from a couple of angles) - I have a few issues here. - it took how long? Once they had the couple of angles showing the contact, how did it take that long to make such a clear call? - it's a red card. There is no attempt to play the ball. It is as clear a red card as you will see. Once the penalty is given it is a woeful decision to give a yellow. Disgraceful decision from an English point of view. - correct me if I'm wrong here, but if the USA hadn't made a substitute when England were claiming the foul for the penalty, the penalty would never have been given. The ref was waving it away saying nothing to see here, and the keeper was about to kick the ball out from the goal kick, until the USA made that sub. The VAR setup is a comedy at this stage ------------- "I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," ....

She ran into the back of her leg as the White is about to tap the ball in from 6 yards. A simple tap in. The US defender knows what's she's doing. She's in a last ditch attempt to get anywhere near the player or the ball, and she is never ever getting there. She knows England are going to equalise. Can't believe anyone would see this any other way. Is it because they are women that people think that cynicism isn't there? If that exact situation happened in a men's game nobody would question a penalty and a red card being given. It is a clear penalty. It is also a clear red card as there no genuine attempt to play the ball. ------------- "I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," ....

Double punishment is only gone if there is a genuine attempt to play the ball. Once the decision to give the penalty was made, the only colour card possible to give was a red. As there was clearly no genuine attempt to play the ball, so dogso doesn't account for giving a yellow there. Also there are clear angles that shows she runs into the back of Whites legs as she's about to tap the ball in. It's as cynical a play as you'd see from a CB. Very smart though as it's amazing how often that is gotten away with. ------------- "I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," ....

Not quite; a deliberate foul preventing a clear goal scoring opportunity should still be a red. I don’t see how that could be given here. Having watched it again on the news I don’t see how that was a penalty. In fact, it was an appalling decision.

How can you not see the contact? She runs straight into the back of Whites right leg, with her right knee. It's cynical as she's never getting near the ball and she knows it. It's clear on the replays, I'm not sure what lads are looking at? From there it's a penalty and a red card. Btw I had no dog in this race. Can't stand either team really. Hope the Dutch win it out. England got shafted that the US weren't down to 10 for the last 10-15 mins though. ------------- "I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," ....

PM can I ask you your general take on penalties being awarded. Do you only believe that a penalty should be given if a player is scythed down in the box? Do you also believe that anytime a player over eggs the extent of the foul, that it's not a penalty? Reading your comments on this penalty decision and previous ones, it seems this way. In the game tonight imo, the English player is clearly fouled from behind. The US player just runs into the back of her in desperation to stop an almost certain goal. No attempt to play the ball and clear contact. It was a penalty and a red card. The English player hams up the contact then to make sure it's noticed, as they all do because they know otherwise the plebian referees won't even look at such a call. So the English player clearly exaggerated the foul. It is a clear foul at the same time though and a very cynical one by the US defender. ------------- "I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," ....

Ha what exactly was their problem with it? Saw it as a slight on the glorious Lionesses, was it? I actually thought she was pretending to smoke a reefer for a second...maybe that's the plan if she scores against the Dutch in the final! As for the penalty, I'm surprised people are so vehement in their views about it - I watched it the 100 odd times it was shown and still couldn't be 100% sure either way. Definitely didn't fancy being in the ref's shoes for that wan. In the end I thought it probably was the right call - penalty and a yellow. Because of the almost synchronised movement of their legs it was very hard to see the actual contact, but there probably was just enough to knock an off balance player off the ball. In fact it was almost Ramos-esque in it's execution. Also the US player didn't seem to have any real issue with it being given which was also pretty telling.

Re the penalty, I agree it was marginal and couldn't have blamed the ref had she not given it. But everyone is looking towards the English player's movement etc to try to determine whether it was a penalty (naturally enough). Whereas with the replays from behind the players, if you looked for the American player's movement, she too was clearly affected by the contact i.e. she was knocked off course as well (albeit v.slightly). So imo a penalty, just.

It's a clear penalty. Her knee clips the heel of the English striker as she's about to score. When you are lining up to kick a ball like that, any clip from behind will totally put you off your stride. It's the defenders duty to not run into the back of the attacking player in such a scenario, so even if she was thick enough to run into the back of her accidentally it's still a penalty. Imo though it's very cynical by the USA player. These are elite level players, she knows exactly what's she's doing there and she's just hoping to get away with it. It's a clear red card as well. Big mistake made by the referee there. Btw if that's not a penalty in some people's eyes, then what is an actual penalty? Any slight clips of the heels won't warrant a foul in the box, especially if the fouled party exaggerates the fouled party - is that where we are now? Very strange times. It's like people are so conditioned by their reactions to people diving that they won't believe someone is fouled unless they are laid out in an absolute heap on the pitch. ------------- "I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," ....

"Players who commit a foul to deny
a goalscoring opportunity will no longer automatically be sent off,
football's rule-making body has confirmed. The previous 'triple-punishment' rule required a red card - and therefore a suspension - as well as the award of a penalty under those circumstances. However, players committing accidental fouls that deny a goalscoring chance will now be cautioned instead. But deliberate fouls will still incur a red card. Those include holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball in order to deny a goalscoring opportunity." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36047575" rel="nofollow - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36047575 I imagine the ref concluded that the American didn't commit any of the offences outlined in bold, i.e. brushing against an opponent in open play does not constitute "serious foul play" or "violent conduct"?

No intent to play the ball. It's exactly what dogso is in place for. If the penalty is given that has to be a red card. Maybe I'm the only one who would interpret that as a definite intentional foul by the USA defender. Which is very strange. I'm sure that if that was a men's match every one would look at that and think the defender knows exactly what he's doing in that scenario. It's very cynical by the defender.
