maxjak Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Great to see the girls keeping up our record of glorious failure in World Cup Semi Finals. Don't want to be mr hindsight........but always told by my coach to strike the ball hard down the middle of thr goal with late pens......as the keeper will almost always dive one way or the other in desperation to be a hero!

VAR is seriously wrecking the game. To be fair to Fifa, they were reluctant to introduce VAR for years because of the disruption it would cause the game. They dont often get things right, but they were spot on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keflav Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Really hope the USA don't win it they are the worst example of cheating, diving, throwing themselves around I've seen in the whole tournament (some will call it gamesmanship, I call it F88king cheating). no doubt a talented team but some of the worst sportsmanship, Morgan a great player but no need to for all her antics... and as for VAR gonna be 20mins added on to every prem game next season gonna become a yawn fest waiting for every decision to be checked needs to be refined as gonna take the soul out of the game as it is...

I think that’s a fair point. The USA team to me just seemed to be that bit physically stronger, with always an extra half a yard and bit of power. The way England could beat that would have been technique, but the passing was off and the US were as good technically if not better. The lack of physical strength was shown when England just couldn’t get out, and when a long ball was needed, not hit it long in the last five. Probably short of the US on a physical basis, and not good enough with technique to pull it round. Didn’t play well in my opinion, but no shame in finishing in the semi finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 For me personally, I’m quite happy to have a game without VAR. I very much enjoyed the game without it. Its adds nothing for me, it’s just killed the excitement and fortune that made it an exciting game to enjoy in person. Poor old football, hell bent on destroying itself.

Offside Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Frustrating. The USA are a very good side, but England pushed them all the way and should have taken it to extra time. In those key moments we just didn’t get it right - two free headers for both their goals, a weakly-struck penalty and overall some sloppy passing. Frustration seemed to get the better of us after the penalty miss and even more so after the (rightful) red card. That VAR decision for the disallowed goal was so marginal. Something doesn’t seem quite right with players being deemed offside when the distances involved are so infinitesimally small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
