Re: 2019 Women's World Cup
Nothing about the penalty?
What has happened to football where people are just OK with every ball that happens to hit an arm/hand being a penalty now?
Japanese player had the ball shot at her from close range, literally tried to move her arm out of the way, it hit (because, you know, fuckin physics) and it's a penalty?
It has become where players are just having balls hit them and they can't do a thing about it and it's a penalty.
Unless we want all defenders to tuck their arms behind their backs at all time.
Japan robbed. I feel so bad for them.
I have never felt the way about football as I do right now. I can live with VAR. In fact, I like it. But the new changes to handling are becoming game-breaking. It's literally ruining the game and I'm not being hyperbolic. I've genuinely never been this upset about the direction of football (besides the general disappointment with FIFA/corruption in football/Qatar&Russia)

The call is always painful to swallow, but you cant really be too mad for this particular incident when its been called pretty consistently throughout the tournament. Was just a hard break at the end.
Kumegai knows she cant have her hands up like that....just a lapse at the end.

Re: 2019 Women's World Cup
It was not on purpose. Heat of the moment, turning as a shot is blasted on goal...give her another second and she probably realizes to put her hands behind her back.
I agree that this call has been consistently given.
But that fact is fucking painful and it's a disgrace to the sport. I'm not sure why no one else here isn't as outraged as I. At least my brother and dad are in agreement. None of us can believe football is doing this right now

football is a game of seconds. She switched off for that split second, and the team goes home. Its a good learning experience for next summer, where after today the expectations are sky high.
I dont like the rule and hope its changed, but right now cant be too mad. I thought it was going to be an ass kicking like every other Asian team got in this tournament(outside of Australia....who put on the worst penalty showing this year) but what was seen were the heirs to a very good japanese team going to Europe, in a knockout match, and taking it to the European champs so hard in the midfield that they had to remove their best player out of exhaustion.
If Nicole Momiki(Nice to see a Japanese American on the team too) shoots a little to right Japan goes through, but right now? Fine performance. Lets see what the Dutch have in Tokyo next year.

Yeah, the deep issues the squad had was always going to cause problems and I think Kerr was carrying the team far too much.

Re: 2019 Women's World Cup
In theory, the new handball rule is clearer, as refs are now only looking at one thing: whether the arm makes the play "unnaturally bigger". And VAR can give them another look if need be.
Where the difficulty will be, as we're already seeing, is determining what a natural position actually is. IFAB believe it's having your arms by your side. However, for the players, it's instinctive to spread their arms when they're trying to block a shot, both for balance and to make themselves look bigger to put off the opposition player.
So, technically, the penalty in the game last night was the correct call, by IFAB's ruling. The Japan defender has her arm outstretched to make herself bigger, and blockd the ball. Even if she's pulling her arm away, the fact is she positioned herself to make herself bigger and only tried to rectify it after the shot was taken.
Thing is, football is never going to get this right, because the rule is too subjective and there's no objective way to call a handball decision short of making every contact with the hand/arm a foul. So far, the rule change seems more for the ref's benefit than the players, and that could be a huge problem. Defenders knew what they could and couldn't get away, but now they have to re-wire themselves so they aren't throwing their arms out when going in for blocks, which obviously isn't going to happen overnight.
I think the IFAB need to review what they think a "natural position" is, and actually survey the players.

She's never been shy about her politics. She's a big supporter of Colin Kaepernick and was kneeling at NWSL games and WNT games before she was forced to stop by the USSF or risk future call ups.
What I love best about this is that Trump's response to her was all about black unemployment rates. He thinks she's black![Laughing](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_lol.gif)

i doubt trump thinks she is black. imo trump thinks she refuses to go to the white house because she thinks trump is racist and that was his way of saying he is not. tbh though i think trump should stay off twitter.McLewis wrote:She's never been shy about her politics.

Re: 2019 Women's World Cup
Norway were warned twice previously about that free-kick routine, yet still managed to not mark Bronze.
Any chance England have of winning this tournament will depend entirely on their attacking quality, because defensively they've been sloppy. They haven't conceded since the Scotland game, but that's been down to some good keeping and poor decision making from the opposition.
It worries me since we're going to have France or USA in the semi's, and those teams will absolutely punish us.
Part of the issue is that our midfield set-up is so attacking, it leaves our holding player isolated. Jill Scott has been excellent going forward, but between her, Kirby, and having two forwards on the flanks, it's leaving Walsh too much to do.
Kirby's form hasn't been great, so I think it'd be a good idea to drop her for Jade Moore in the next game, to stiffen the midfield.
