There was no shove at all, Daly just backed in and then threw herself to ground. Cracking VAR review to overturn it - well done refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Could have gone either way, Daly was being shoved though. Russo looking dodgy again, she has struggled in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking VAR review to overturn it - well done refs. The angle from goalside clearly showed a forearm shove into the back of the neck. It was a penalty, but the way she threw herself down was so theatrical it cast doubts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2023 I think that was a penalty, theatrics from Daly or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a penalty, but the way she threw herself down was so theatrical it cast doubts. For me, there's a shirt pull outside the box which is probably a free kick but the rest is nonsense - there's just no foul anywhere. Edit: You can't just back in to win a foul. The contact has to be initiated by the defender, not the attacker. Edited August 7, 2023 by bobzy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I'm going for Nigeria but I thought it was a pen even though she over egged the contact. That ball connects with Daly's head without the nudge, giving the defender an unfair advantage. There have been penalties for far less on this comp.

PaulC Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Once the ref gave it was there enough doubt to overturn the original decision. I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 "Being smart there from Rachel Daly, she's turned and stopped to make it look like the defender has pushed her" - Alex Scott bang on, aside from the "being smart" part.

I think the decision to play her over the top goalscorer in the wsl will cost England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) We just need to step up and match them physically.looked like they had all the pressure on them but I'm sure they will step up and win it second half Edited August 7, 2023 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLVillan Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 19 hours ago, Xela said: No disrespect to our friends from over the pond, but i'm glad USWNT are out. Trust me, there are plenty, perhaps even a majority of folks here in the US who haven't shed a tear to see this iteration of the women's team lose. Them inserting themselves into politics, the "equal pay" hoax (they actually receive more than the men, despite their matches/tournaments generating less than 15% of the revenue), and their complete lack of respect for the national anthem have caused many to grow tired of them. They didn't deserve to even progress from the group, so those saying they were unlucky against the Swedes is failing to recognize the fact that their poor performances in the group led them to have to play a tougher round-of-16 match. One half-decent performance out of four won't win you a world cup. Rapinoe must have been getting penalty training from Kane... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
