Strikers get away with those types of plays all the time in the act of shooting but with VAR, a defender gets a PK and a yellow?
I don't know the rules. Does it matter if she got the ball first? Because if it matters then why the hell did they give the ref that angle to look at instead of the angle that clearly showed the defender getting the ball first?littlebitofhifi said:
That's a terrible penalty. She got the ball and glanced off to catch the player. Absolutely terrible call via VAR.

Sloppy passes, bad touches that would not have lead to shots on goal, let alone goals scored against a team that knew what the hell they were doing. Chile aint doing dick against the US, but Sweden may punch the team in the mouth if they allow the scoreline to go to their heads.bbry81 said:
What I personally think is getting lost in all this scoreline talk is how we actually played. Many of these goals don't happen versus an average team and we will eventually play a great team. I think rapinoe had a poor performance. Many of her services were over hit and not quality and she was the worst when it came to celebrations. I'm not sure why we showed so many different types of corner kicks and free kicks against a team we don't need them on because now teams have film on them and they won't be as productive. Call me negative Nancy but I see a lot of false positive out of this game

So you are saying we aren't gonna score 13 every game?
Does the defender head it if she's not there? It affected how she played the ball.fig96 said:
Correct call IMO, her position didn't affect how the defender or keeper played it.
I agree with you but its an impossible call for the refs to make consistently and without VAR. Just bring back 'the no offside on deflection' interpretation and be done with itfig96 said:

Probably? Unless your keeper has a direct bead on that ball they're not calling the defender off, in pretty much any situation a defender that deep in the box is going to try to clear that.I Am Mine said:Does the defender head it if she's not there? It affected how she played the ball.fig96 said:

Agreed, though even with that you'll occasionally get an attacker who's genuinely interfering with the keeper.tysker said:I agree with you but its an impossible call for the refs to make consistently and without VAR.

I do think her position might have impacted where the keeper was, however this was a complete failure by the defense to communicate. With proper communication this does not happen regardless of the "Offsides".fig96 said:Agreed, though even with that you'll occasionally get an attacker who's genuinely interfering with the keeper.tysker said:I agree with you but its an impossible call for the refs to make consistently and without VAR.
