FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 || 7 June – 7 July, France
- Thread starter Peru
- Start date
Anyways moving on from the dive stuff. This has been a ok match, little defencive for my liking, but it was obvious Holland would do this due to how good US are.
Have you heard of momentum? It's not a dive if there is contact. She fell at full speed, didn't ask for anything, how do you fall when you get shoved from behind? This is dumb.
I can't even.
Great first half, fun to watch. I hope we can keep this up.
I wonder how many people who genuinely believe that wasnt a dive have actually played a sport for more than 1 year when they were in peewee league lmao.
It would be a yellow due to trying to fake a penalty. The rule specifically states that to discourage flopping like Neymar (or sadly more players in La Liga). It would be a tough yellow in this case though, and only really a case in Premier.
It was NOTHING like Neymar's blatant diving. You guys are being ridiculous at this point
Great work by the Dutch keeper, and they look very dangerous on the counter. Netherlands in a good position if they keep it up.
That dive would have been a yellow in the Premier League for sure, but in other leagues you might escape punishment.
It would have been a penalty exactly nowhere.
Seriously. She's totally gonna be the keeper of the championship.
Well all I can say is you don't know what a dive is cause it's clear as day a hit of that very small impact would not send her flying.
gud one
Is this a joke? Can we even pretend to watch the game being played and not the one in our heads?
And all I can say is we're just not gonna agree on this so there's no point arguing anymore about it
Exactly, It's going to be an endless argument and there's not much that can be done anymore by this point.
She doesn't even have a team atm! But I'm sure someone will pick her up, she's excellent.
Mate. Literally the first words are 'i'm not saying it doesn't make you fall', don't call my argument dumb when you can't comprehend the first 8 words of a relatively small post.
It wouldnt be a yellow in most professional leagues, but Premier has a specific case for this kind of stuff to be tougher and avoid flopping in the penalty area:
The over exageration would have lead to a yellow in Premier but nothing really in La Liga or Bundesliga for instance.
Don't think it was blatant enough for a yellow. But it's like watching men's football all over again. With Rapinoe screaming and complaining after that perfect shoulder-to-shoulder defending and Morgan's dive.
Oh well, it has been a very amusing final so far.
What are you talking about, we never were in a final against Spain.
That's crazy. There's no way that would have been a penalty. 0 chance.
Prem has the rule but is it ever called? This is just one example but this is clear diving and guess who the penalty was called on:
Do you seriously think it's only a dive when there is no contact? Imagine there being the slightest of contact and falling to the ground rolling 2 meters ahead. That's also a dive.
"didn't ask for anything" but did shout at the referee lmao
won't even go into the "it's not a dive if there is contact" nonsense
I don't remember this. I only have nightmares once or twice per year where Casillas stops a ball with his toe.
Lol is this really a thing? Feels like it happened forever ago.
How do you know she is exaggerating her foul? You're making a guess, the same guess the referee made. If she didn't call it it's not a dive. It's a blatant dive if there is no contact. You can't say it's a dive because you watch other games lol.
Its not that much about it being blatant (which is the case in La Liga, where a blatant flop should be a yellow according to the rules even if it sadly isnt given too often), it is more about Premier being more stringent on avoiding those situations and any flop / dive in the area would lead to yellow.
Edit: the rule in Premier is supposed to be unfairly tough to discourage that attitude.
Shit is missed, VAR will change that. There is a rule that exaggerating a tackle or shoulder barge etc is a yellow at least. If you exaggerate and get a person sent off you can even get punished harder after the game.
It's not a football thread without discussions about fouls.
What minute?
When did she roll 2 meters ahead?!
I mean, yeah, it is a dive. And I'm not guessing, I'm giving my interpretation based on what I've seen.
Why are you even explaining what a blatant dive is? That's got nothing to do with anything.
I don't even know what your last sentence means, did you mis-write it? Or are you saying I can't call it a dive because I watch other games? Because that's not what I was saying, I was using it to ballast that u know a dive when I see one, because I see a lot of them.
Contact that isn't a foul but is enough to knock a player down can't be exaggerated into a foul with additional flailing.
This is silly. There's absolutely no way that can ever be a penalty. People really, really, really need to watch a replay of this. You're all crazy.
That's not what I stated. It was an example.
Morgan did overexaggerate the contact. Not enough for yellow in my opinion. But in no league in the world that would've been a penalty.
