Anyone still arguing that penalty was not a penalty is just not acting in good faith. That's a pen all day long in any league, any competition.

The rules need to be changed. Destroying a beautiful game because of a sketchy call that the referee didn't believe was a foul until she had to relook at var. let these team play without having a sketchy call ruining the game.

You're wrong. Take the L and let it go

The Netherland player was concerned about the ball and didn't deliberately hit the USA player. A foul should be given only if the Netherlands player was playing in a dangerous manner. In this instance, the Netherland player was unaware of the player behind her, so she could not have had any dangerous intent. The rules is to ancient. If they want to punish a player who had no dangerous intent in winning the ball, at least it should be an in direct freekick in the box.

LOL. This is exactly agains the rules. You put a cleat up at head level, you better be damn sure you aren't going to hurt someone.

seriously, its a rule to prevent injuries, just because she didnt get hurt doesnt mean its not a foul, people just bias and/or dense. who cares, take that goal away and USA still up

Can the dude who said the US can only win by cheating explain how that goal was cheating also please
Well actually, if the VAR refs hadn't been bribed to give the so called "penalty," the Netherlands wouldn't have been playing so open to allow the cheaters to counter off the non-called illegal tackle that won them the ball to set up the second goal...

/s, obviously.

Netherlands couldn't attack and were too slow on every counter. Never really had a chance.

Think they mean all the trash talking which I can understand comes with sports when people tell each other to fuck off, fuck Netherlands etc it gets to the point it kind of ruins the experience honestly, even the NHL thread for me during the playoffs and times can be really toxic with people posting who are winning, no reason we cant be civil in victory or defeat

If it went the other way, you wouldn't be saying that It was a foul, and called correctly.

Yanks are showing in this thread that they are even worse at victory than at defeat. How is that even possible.

Anyway, congratulations. Hope EU step up their game in women's football soon tho, there is so much wasted potential, it just needs to be taken as seriously as men's.
Hope they score a 3rd and celebrate like it's the 1st. Cause most players in the world would.

The no celebration against a former team is dumb as well. Adebayor did it right when celebrating against Arsenal years ago.

The Russia thread was far, far worse. This shit is nothing compared to it.

And the Americans weren't even there lol.

Havent read the thread but lol if people were actually saying those things. Game has been completely 1 sided.

I won't mention or quote them because it'd derail the thread and we're allowed weird takes, lol, but yeah, the notion that a team isn't dominating because they haven't scored is just one sliver of the game. So much happened in the first half; I was excited during the whole thing.

The French rioted and burned down Paris after they won the World Cup. We can talk shit on an internet forum.
