The FIFA Women's World Cup 2019: Haway the Lasses

[Monument View]

VAR working by a finger nail
What a load of absolute tosh

Russell Howard has just entered the pitch.

It’s some crap about anything outside of a natural silhouette. Football is fucked, won’t be watching any of the VAR competitions this coming season, the whole thing is completely broken

If her arm was closer to the body I would have considered that unnatural personally.
Unless players are meant to run around with hands in pockets.

and how many times have they got it wrong?

Why should some teams benefit from a mistake by the official? Given the speed of movement it's impossible for any human who has ever lived to get it right. The margin of error could be considerable when they have to watch both the keeper and the hitting of the ball at speed, hence the mistakes of years gone by that are clear upon a replay that is slowed down from numerous angles.

How do you know that the ball was played at the exact moment the guys paused the tv for the split screen and not 10ms out? 10ms at a cross over speed of say 15m/s gives a distance of 15cm, more than enough to change the decision

The new rules are ridiculous imo. What the fuck is she meant to do there?

Maybe not have one of her arms hanging out like she did?

I've never liked Canada since they threw an absolute paddy* in 2015 when England knocked them out of the world cup they were hosting.

*It was deemed an absolute paddy at the time, but obviously we've since had the Cameroon game.

As much as they have a reputation for chilled niceness, Canada is a country settled by the French and the Scots. They'll never be able to stand losing to England

Canada's passing game under pressure, but can Sweden keep this up for 90 minutes?

Yes, yes they can

Indeed. Perhaps give all appeals as penalties and get some goalkeepers sent off for jumping off the line

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Cracking freekick that.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Oooooooooofffff

 

[Pancho]

Good corner routine and excellent defending.

 

[super noodles]

Cracking freekick that.

Good block too. Turned into a great game here.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

That was a waste

See my post above, first half never happened, started again at half time.

See my post above, first half never happened, started again at half time.

Only one in it, we might extra time. That's basically a second half.

"Argh, I'm sweating so much I need to wipe my face with my top - shit, is my bra still on?"

So are you are trying to say VAR is worse as it uses a single frame of time that isn't precise yet a human eye from 1 unique viewing angle that has been proven to have a huge margin of error is more acceptable?

VAR can't be precise to the mm, there's no debate on that but it can narrow the margin of error right down.

The canada number 8 making sure she stars in social media.

That is a natural position

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Lots of tired touch from Canada, they're out on their feet

 

[super noodles]

Never really understood how an arm could be in an unnatural position
