This will surely be given. Dangerous play and didn't get the ball.

Haven't seen any of the WC. tuned in to see the finals.. should be the highest level of womens football..


It's not even Championship level .. and I'm not talking pace or intensity.. the quality of passing and ball control is rubbish.

Is it finals nerves making it a scrappy match, or is this the usual level?

oh and that's a penalty

They are getting a pen every time.

Morgan is dying every time.

Jesus if this is now a penalty I would never have made it through a game. That’s more the ball has hit Morgan than her trying to control it as she is already cowering expecting a big hit to come in when it’s basically nothing. She doesn’t even need to go to ground there. Just ridiculous.

Wasn't much different to the Houghton penalty, just keeper didn't bother to dive.

That's a unique way to take a penalty.

Anyway, USA.. USA.. USA!!

Clear penalty. Game over. Holland are terrible going forward and have hardly played 2 passes in a row.

A typical way for the US to win after their knockout games but was such stupid defending!

That's never a clear and obvious error. You can give a pen for that, you don't have to do.

Everytime it's close they get a pen. Pens are gifts in this tournament.

Weak, weak penalty. It was a high boot, but morgan wasn't even attempting to play the ball, she was bracing for impact with the defender while the ball hit her on the hip. You don't reward that with a penalty that will likely decide the game.

Thought it wasn't on first look but a definite penalty.


She got the ball though wtf?
She had her eyes on the ball, and seems to notice the foot coming towards her and braces for it. She definitely didn't go into the situation looking for contact.

Some people like VAR. I prefer football. How many games these last thre or four championships I’ve watched are decided by VAR?
How was that not football? It was a foul and it was given. Whether in real time or not.

That's a penalty no doubt
That's a pen.
Studs up, high foot, gets none of the ball. It's pretty clear, regardless of whether Morgan made a meal of it or not.
The narrative in here is getting a bit silly. This is simply a foul and penalty.
What's the joke? It was a pen.
Penalty was the right call
a definite penalty
Thank you, fellas.


And get in, Rapinoe! Take that Trump!
