2019 FIFA Women's World Cup

Yea it makes total sense when it’s a really close play, but in situations where it’s like 4 feet offside there’s no reason to let it go.

 

[Pouchkine]

What will happen in those idiotic situations is a defender or the goalie will make a ruthless challenge on the player not knowing it's offside, could injure the player or a play who would warrant a yellow or red card, then after that we found out it's 1 metre offside so what does the referee do?????

And that goes without talking about how it's slows the play down even more.

Since the arrival of spray paint, chicken referees and VAR the actuay minutes played in a game have been decreasing a lot.

Another situation where the punishment does not fit the crime. Defenders are going to have to have tiewraps around their arms....I don't care that it is a penalty with todays rules...that situation does not warrant a ball in the back of the Scottish net.

I can't even begin to explain how much I ****ing hate that new rule. As a former forward I would absolutely rather be called offside earlier rather than waste my energy chasing down a ball where I was clearly offside. And then there's that probability of injury to the players. Nothing will happen until someone gets injured though.

And then they will "correct" it. Really idiotic things like this are starting to ruin the game.

It looks like Harry Kane suited up for the womens team in order to actually win a trophy.

 

[TP]

That "handball" that was called was nearly the same one like in Italy-Aussie game wasn't called.

I JUST saw it. Unbelievable.

Parris and Bronze impressing on England's right side. Penalty was harsh but the rule is dumb. Didn't expect to see Hope Solo on BBC's coverage.

Parris has been quite impressive, especially with those nutmegs

Penalty was harsh but the rule is dumb.

I don't it was harsh. Her arm was completely extended.

Didn't expect to see Hope Solo on BBC's coverage.

No one in their right mind should ever hire this crazy bitch. She's already hurling insults. I am surprised no one has ever knocked her out.

 

[Juve]

I JUST saw it. Unbelievable.

Do you have a replay? I can't find it on twitter.

I saw it on Fox in the highlights on TV, not on the internet.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I heard Hope Solo on the BBC live podcast...I had to listen to it a second time to hear what I thought I heard.... Outrageous comments ....seems like she wants to be a shock commentator...describing her former coach as cracking under pressure.

A simple background check on her would eliminate her from most jobs anywhere in the world yet they put a microphone in front of her.

 

[Jussi]

What did Solo say?

 

[Pouchkine]

The VAR is a total disaster for so many reasons. So many errors, referees not making easy calls, so much wasted time that they never add at the end of halfs. Complete fiasco, for one good decision you get at least 10 negative situations.

Completely killing the spirit of the game.

 

[GabeTravels]

Didn't realize until yesterday that the match I have tickets for will likely be USA v France. Man that'll be fun.

 

[Juve]

What did Solo say?

To sums things up

- The Coach is not a leader she wants her to be. (I don't think the coach or her former teammates give a shit about what she wants in a leader.)
- She relies too much on her assistants
- She always cracks under pressure
- US wins in spite of coaching

She needs to sit down, shut her mouth and lay off the sauce.

She is still bitter over being dumped by her teammates. Guess the BBC wanted to keep Aluko far from the Lionesses as possible.

Gotta feel bad for the Aussies. Going into the World Cup as a favorite and the coach gets sacked over allegations of a "toxic atmosphere" and the whole affair had an effect on them. It not going to help them any more as they play Brazil next, who seem to play better when Marta isn't on the field screaming at her team to give her the ball.

On this, I agree.

Bit of an upset today with Italy beating Australia. Things don't get easier for Australia as they play Brazil on Thursday.

The U.S. Women's National Soccer Team begins their World Cup quest on Tuesday, so naturally, former goalkeeper Hope Solo is talking bad about head coach Jill Ellis.

Hope Solo calls out USWNT coach Jill Ellis ahead of team's World Cup opener vs. Thailand

 

[Pouchkine]

Canada starts today, should be interesting.

I don't think much of Jill Ellis, but I also don't think much of Hope Solo

Canada kicks off today vs. Cameroon. Expecting a win for Canada there. Japan/Argentina is on right now.

 

[Pouchkine]

Incredibly boring game so far Jap-Arg

 

[Pouchkine]

I'll go with a 3-0 Canada win.
