Ooh, a penalty which has gone in ... just

I’m not sure what to make of the refereeing in this game.

I could have sworn that I saw the ball fouling a French player and it wasn’t even shown a yellow.

It may even have been borderline red, but yellow would have been a fair decision ultimately, as the player who was clattered to the floor was up on her feet in next to no time to take the free kick.

The ball definitely got away with one there.

I said earlier in the thread that the standard has come on leaps and bounds, but this game tonight illustrates that there are still areas where they need to learn. One is do NOT dive in from behind against an attacker going nowhere in the penalty area. That was such a stupid penalty France gave away a few minutes ago. As usual, it was missed.

 

[Pegojack]

This game has got a horrible inevitability about it. Despite being down to ten players after 13 minutes, I think Germany are going to win on penalties. France will only have themselves to blame if so, they just haven't used the extra woman effectively.

Minge to score the winning penalty

Feckin 'Silly Walks' again!

Honest to fuck what was that my eyes have just seen

Some good penalties in this tbf

The save by the German keeper is one of the best saves I have ever seen. She seemed to be able to move in mid air. Outstanding stuff.

Feel sorry for the French. Second best team in the tournament, but if you can’t put ten women away after going a goal up, them’s the breaks. At least it was a quality shoot out, at last. No comedy.

Feckin 'Silly Walks' again!

Yeah, that one aside…just why.

England a goal down to Italy in the first semi.

 

[Pegojack]

Viva Italia! Winger looked offside to me mind, surprised there was no VAR.

 

[Pegojack]

More weak refereeing. Bronze just kicked an Italian in the bosom, but no card given.

Surprised she wasn’t given a yellow earlier when she followed through someone’s shin
