Yorkie Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Sadly missed all of that apart from literally the last kick. Chloe Kelly is a legend, like. I don't know much about many of the individuals across the women's game but she seems like a proper A-lister. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 32 minutes ago, LFEE said: Wanting him off and should he be off are two different things. If Bruno did that to Tielemans would you want Bruno off? 🙂 Wasn’t going to as it wasn’t violent. It was clearly petulant. Sadly if the Nigerian girl had of cheated and overreacted about it all it might of got a red from the off for violent conduct. She was however very honest and actually highlighted how little the contact was when walked over. If more players did this then fans would be less inclined to want to see red as per the example I’ve quoted above. It’s a vicious circle of “I’ve seen them given”. What are your thoughts on the 2nd penalty not given involving Bronze? 'Clear and obvious error' territory. Either way, the ref's decision to award or not should not be overturned. It's quite an important principle, and I think Howard Webb was right in trying to cut down the number of VAR interventions. So many decisions in football are subjective. VAR is there to correct howlers or pure questions of fact like offside. It shouldn't be a 'second opinion'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Lovely to get outplayed and win on penalties Defended well in the end. Bright was terrific. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lish007 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Nigeria were the better team across 120 mins but never really tested Earps. I thought the few chances we had were actually better. They should have won it but they didn't and that's football. Gutted for them, I saw that they knew once it went to penalties, that was it. Tough to take. Onwards and upwards!

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Well done to England and credit to Nigeria for overperforming expectations in this tournament, especially defensively. I cannot claim to be an expert of women's football that I haven't watched since last WC/Olympics or of this match that I started watching at extra time, but to me this is a massive waste. The better side and an advantage with 11 v. 10, but no idea how to attack when it is not in transition. Just long balls to the forwards, no progession through midfield, and then rubbish penalties. No time to claim moral victory, there is potential with investment, but we have been saying this about the men for decades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Just seen the James incident. Overriding emotion is that I just feel sorry for her tbh. Obviously it was a very stupid act and a red card is undoubtedly the correct decision, but it was clearly a red mist moment, which we're all capable of as humans (particularly in an environment like that). For a player's entire tournament to be destroyed because of one petulant moment just feels overzealous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given James was violent conduct, she is out of the World Cup. I don't recall the men's rule being this harsh, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen worse get yellows or nothing with far more intent to harm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
