Don't let a three goal lead slip. England win their group.
WWC19 | Final: USA v Netherlands
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
What a shit rule that is.
Going to be about 10 minutes added on.
Play was stopped 86th minute and play only now restarted at 94th minute.

VAR is actually awful.
What the feck?
If they enforce the rules for time wasting and penalty retakes in the men's game like they have tonight (and most of the time), there'll be shedloads of players booked in the PL (good... babies) and loads of retaken penalties.
If that penalty drama had been in the men's game, the players would've been all over the ref.
That's never all the injury time!

How the hell can that be full time, that is nonsense. Ref completely lost track of time there as play was stopped at 86th minute.
O rly?
Ref blows for ft and nobody can believe it
Var is just a joke
Scotland v Argentina was a crazy game!
Yet another feck up for VAR. It’s been a comedy of errors since last summer.
The replay from the right wing of the pitch, the goalies taken half a step when ball is hit.
That's very very petty. But I guess thems the rules now.
As long as they follow them every time.
VAR is being fecked over by the refs.
No it isn't. The referees who are implementing it poorly are a joke
What the actual feck is going on? This is staggeringly nonsensical officiating.
Ahh the games done then. Great advertisement for the women's game that. Well done ref.
What the feck just happened in the Scotland match?
What a disgusting mess VAR is & is making football worse to play & watch.
Hope all those advocating it would watch it in action in that Scotland v Argentina game. It’s such a terrible addition to the game

Ref will be sent home after this, joke at this level of the game.
Feel a bit for Scotland, but feck me, if you're already relying on maybe getting through on a third place finish in a four team group, then you don't really deserve it if you throw a 3-0 lead on 70 minutes, regardless of any VAR shenanigans.
That's what I thought at the retake... "Stand behind the line"?
Going to be fun this season?
there could have been 5-6 minutes of quite interesting footy rather than that load of olde cobblers for twice as long
but no added time because of it

It’s nonsense. There has barely been a penalty in history where the keeper hasn’t moved forward marginally before the ball is struck.
Right call on the pen, but is the one foot on the line a new rule? I can’t remember a men’s game having that.
I don't care about the refs or VAR but I genuinely think that it's taking the fun out of the game. What is football without the spontaneous moments of celebrating or despair. Having to wait an hour for a decision just kills the fun
No way are the PL refs next season going to be applied that goalie off line rule consistently
It depends. I thought from first glance it was a penalty tbh. Ref was looking at it for good 2-3 minutes. Overall problem is the standard of replays provided isn't good enough to give instance decisions.
It's new for the coming season. One foot has to remain on or above the line until after the ball has been struck, so we're now seeing keepers punished for being fractionally off the line as they dive in anticipation of the shot.
I'm all for stopping keepers charging down penalties, but if they're using VAR, surely they can create a virtual half-yard zone that's accepted as effectively remaining on the line to stop this nonsense.
Has their been a male PK in Copa America / Gold Cup / AFCON yet this summer?
Was it taken to the word of the law this is a joke, I mean stopping a PK is almost impossible as is, why make it harder??

Scotland robbed by piss poor refereeing again.
Well be thankful see won't be ever reffing a Man. United game when you're all crying when teams like Burnley time waste and you only get five minutes.O rly?
Also past that the who check re check re take of the PK took about 7 mins how the feck do you add three mins of ET?
This ref needs to go home after this disgraceful performance.

Agree. In the men's game/PL, they're 2-3 yards off their line? If they can't move and noting most penalty takers ability to place a penalty, I don't see a goalie saving any penalty put in the corner of they can't get any momentum.
Trying to think of a.way around it. Apart from standing behind the line, the only thing I can think is if the ref/VAR says it's a foul in the box, just give a goal?
Only two minutes were added as re-taken penalty was eventually scored on 94th minute. After that Scotland kicked off, got a free kick which they hit in the box and Argentina keeper claimed. She kicked it to centre circle and that was it.
Goalies have always had to stay on their lines for pens. What's the change? I just did a quick Google and could not find anything.
Scotland can go back to what they do best- rooting against England while sitting on the sidelines.
The change is VAR checking that they've got one foot on or above the line, so it's not so much a rule change, as it is something being far more heavily and noticeably enforced than it was before. It's a bit of a joke at the moment, but it's basically been seen as a new initiative, and the expected trickle down effect is that if match officials in non-VAR games think the keeper has stepped out, the penalty will be retaken, whereas before they'd have probably not paid as much attention.
Well we've had CL finals won when Dudek has been saving penalties pretty much on the six yard box.
It simply won't be enforced after maybe one or two retakes, similar to shirt tugging in the box.
Can’t imagine why we do that
