VAR penalty check.
WWC19 | Final: USA v Netherlands
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
That looks a penalty to me.
Yeah her arm is too far away from her body should be a pen
Canada get the penalty.
meh, hope they do something about these rules soon.
VAR is getting really boring now. See more VAR than actual football
What a save!
Beckie to take. Saved.
Great save that! Covered the distance really well.
Nah to close of a distance from ball to arm to be a penalty in my eyes
Thats a great save, got across her goal line really quickly.
Amazing save
Definite pen and impressive save.
Amazing save
The women are really panicking when they get too much time and space, they're way better when they have no time and space and have to think quick.
This is not the best of games, I think because they’re so evenly matched they just cancel each other out
Swedish GK just went a few feet out of the box with the ball in her hands without anyone noticing 
Sweden look like a totally different team 2nd half.
Thought that was the second.
Really?Swedish GK just went a few feet out of the box with the ball in her hands without anyone noticing
Now a penalty to Sweden?Offside.
Ref gave the pen there because she knew VAR could bail her out.
They're using the system completely wrong.

Now no penalty as offside.
Refereeing as a whole has been terrible, there is no consistency, even throughout one game, nothing challenges get yellows and steamroller 2 footed karate kicks get nothing
I think some of them are not believing it when they've got time and space. Pressure of the event maybe (national teams get way bigger crowds than the club teams) and the occasion. That's why when it comes down to it, I look at the USA and France (with their Lyon core) as the strongest sides here.
It's also why for all its weaknesses, I see hope for the England team
They've got a lot of players who've been close before (those two third places!) and they've got a couple of players who've played at the business end of the CL etc. Never stop dreaming - right!I think that is the first time I have seen them make a call with VAR as back-up. Normally they let the game play on until a break to look it over.
You could see in the ref'sbody language that she made that decision with VAR in mind.
This new offside rule where the linesmen wait 30sec to raise the flag might just be the most useless change in the history of sports.
The Canada manager looks like that evil wizard dude from GoT.
The implementation of VAR in this tournament has been everything the naysayers feared it would be when it was originally trialed. Far more consistently disruptive than anything we have seen before. Add in this handball interpretation with players actively looking to hit the ball off their opponent field hockey style, hoping that slow motion makes everything more dramatic and it is a worrying trend.
Refs are afraid of making key mistakes so they will use it for everything.

Yeah, a lot of scrambled blocks and not much individual flair or sophisticated teamwork. Though to be honest, from the Canada/Sweden games I've seen this tournament - that's pretty much what I was expecting.
Have to respect the fitness levels of these both sides been back and forth all night.
He did in fact complain about stamping and other rough-house tactics. Again, hypocrisy of the worse sort.
The article below is just one of many that focuses on his tsk-tsking of the Cameroon showing yesterday.

Dangerous freekick for Canada. Nothing. Now a corner.
Sweden win. Just hope there isn't a penalty.
This would be proper fecked up if it's a penalty after the game is finished
Surprised they didn’t give that handball just for giggles and shit.
Coverage has ended here, is she looking at it? Can she even look at it after the whistle?
VAR after the ft whistle
Always great to see a keeper for the last freekick, corner kick though. Personally I'd chuck both of them out (sorry Sweden) and award the QF berth to Spain.

Reviewed and found not guilty.
7 minutes added... No interruptions during those added minutes... Yet she let's the clock go 8,45 minutes until she blows the whistle
Sweden celebrating after the final whistle while Var is still checking for a penalty. Sums up this tournament
