- Thread starter Peru
- Start date
For all their possession, France were poor. USA scored with their only 2 attacks.
Feeling a lot less pessimistic about England's chances right now.

This is so bullshit.
Still, we were so sloppy in terms of passing and finishing that coming back at 2-1 was an achievement.

Complaining about refs is weak. Great game. Sad it happened in the quarterfinals instead of the finals tho.
It was because the Japanese defender's arms were out and away from a natural sihlouette. They weren't too far out but they were, even though she was bringing them back in. The USA defender's arms were down by her side in a natural position, hence no penalty. It's all part of the new law.
Good win USA. England is playing a lot better than France right now though. Gotta step your game up to beat England
Great game with awesome atmosphere. France really wasted a bit to many passes though. Still I think they deserved more.
It wasn't a penalty as the American player had her arms a lot closer to her body than the Japanese and Swedish players that were penalized in similar situations.

Yeah why is this even an issue. Arm was against her body. It's not why France lost. They had opportunities and didn't convert.
Honestly can't tell if these are fans of other nations' soccer clubs or anti USWNT trolls. Thread seemed a lot more fun previous to this game.
They literally had a penalty stolen from France, a penalty given in the game against Spain that was world class diving, and a penalty stolen from Spain.
No single referee mistake against them.
That was before the referees handed the second game in a row to the US.
Nah, it's the same situation.
If they wanted such nuances, they would have kept the old interpretation of the rule.
Must have missed that match, what happened with Cameroon?
I'm sure you're not talking about the England game, where the VAR calls were all correct and Cameroon were extremely lucky to not have ended the match with 8 players.
That's not been an argument for more than a year in most competitions including the WC.
This. That offside was bullshit. If we give France that goal for handball then we get that 3rd goal, seems fair. USA still wins.
