Women's World Cup 2019

And there you go.

I'm done speculating about these calls. They didn't even look at one the other day that looked.

In the old, even is on days, that is a goal. Given that any part of the body seems to be enough for offsides, that seemed like a correct reversal.

Someone is also gonna have to explain to me why the US seems to quit attacking in the second half with a lead.

Exactly, and then didn't even VAR that one.

Again, the way they've been calling and reviewing, that seemed like the "correct" call.

I hate to say this guys, but maybe Hope Solo was right. Seems like the US might win this game/tournament in spite of Ellis not because of her.

I literally said that before France on here.

She just doesn't adjust very well and the only reason we've seen a change at all is due to injury (both with Rapinoe and just now in game.)

They need to review if she came off the line 9,000 times.

If these were guys the goalie would have tried to guess and run himself off a terrible penalty. Kudos for staying put and seeing it.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 3:41 pm

I mean... It's technically the right call.

But that call isn't even getting a second thought if that same play happens in the corner or the middle of the field.

And England can officially SHUT THE FUCK UP now. You had your chance. Fuck off.

Poetic justice save after such theatrical wanking.

Can't help but think that penalty was a make up for the disallowed goal by VAR.

That was some Ty Cobb-level spikes up shit right there.

Watching the replay, as I suspected, she absolutely left to that side "early"... She's moving as the shot is being taken. You pretty much have to.

Post by **brian** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 3:46 pm

The US going into time-wasting mode without even attempting to put the ball in a scoring position with 10+ minutes left is beyond frustrating. Especially a man up. There's nothing wrong with maintaining possession and moving the ball around.

All that’s left for Morgan to do is make the hot tag to Marty Jannetty

Post by **brian** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 3:48 pm

They had to fucking know there was going to be 7 minutes of extra time. Come the fuck on. There was a four-minute VAR review.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 3:48 pm

Jesus Citgo... Your takes are not strong right now. :D

That's a studs up tackle, over the ball. Straight red on probably 25 percent of the time (roughly). ABSOLUTELY a yellow card. Not the refs fault that women went into that tackle like that. She could've a) let it go and stay on your feet, or b) if you want to slide go in on your side so you don't open the possibility of the studs coming up (you lay out and your foot is low to the ground, went in like a baseball slide.)

Yeah, it worked against FRA, but I sure don't like it. I think they went into it prematurely.

But almost every game I've watched (and I mentioned this early in the tournament) there has been 5-7 minutes of added time. They should've known.

Again, this is (IMO) an Ellis thing.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 3:54 pm

Wow, just reminded of ENG's historic issues of not converting PKs.

And, TBH, while a decent save... That was a pretty shitty shot.

Nonlinear FC · Post by **Nonlinear FC** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 3:55 pm

Lloyd doing Lloyd things. I'll give to Ellis on that. That's a good sub.

And there we go.

Nice job USA!

If a goalie mishandles it...she smothered it on a save, then it went across the goal line as she was gathering it, shouldn't it be a corner?

EDIT: Looks like it had already crossed the goal line before the shot is why they got a goal kick.

Post by **brian** » Wed Jul 03, 2019 3:11 pm

Just hoping this game goes a full 120 with plenty of hacking fouls at this point.

That big-butted goalie just stole one from Sweden. Fingernail save, tipping it enough that it hit the post. Brilliant stuff.

And now SWE's goalie with a fingertip save to put it off the crossbar.

Wowsers.
