England women

She caught her leg so definitely a penalty in my opinion..

 

I watched every replay and didn't see any contact but the referee agreed with you, I thought she just fell on her arse like the air shot she did the other game.

If there was contact it was the softest penalty in history.

 

There was only one angle that the contact could be seen from and my instinct at first was not a chance. Then they showed that one view and there definately was contact just as she was about to let go. Can't say whether it was enough to knock her off her stride or anything else but going down when you are where she was with little to beat would not be the smartest move would it. She virtually had an open goal. I still think VAR sucks though. I would not have called the disallowed goal offside either but when you look at the still photo and the two lines it shows there was an inch in it.

 

Put it this way if that penalty had been against Sunderland nobody on here's calling it a pen. Maybe a couple of leg hairs made contact with some shorts fibres but that's not what I call a penalty.

 

One angle clearly showed her leg been taken away.. Clear cut penalty once I saw that angle..

 

Looked to me like as she pulled her leg back to strike the ball she kicked the American on her own backswing

 

Nah there was nowt in it.

 

Yeah if anything. I don't believe anyone here would say it was a clear cut penalty if it was against Sunderland.

 

We will have to agree to disagree on this one then..

 

And if it was FOR Sunderland you would all be saying what exactly Nacho? I can't believe you use "leg hair" as an example in Ladies football either. Just shocking........

 

They've probably got more leg hair than the men, well I was supporting the England ladies and it was never a penalty so if it was Sunderland I'd say the same. Just not very loudly or for very long.

 

Absolutely. She opened her foot to guide the ball goalwards and the contact on the back of knee moved her leg away. It was a great spot to be fair it took several angles to spot it, but it was absolutely correct.

 

So if you draw your leg back to shoot and it hits a defender running alongside you that's a pen? Doesn't seem very fair to the defender.

 

Penalties can always be given for accidental mate, always have been.

Facts are she took a player out of her shooting stride and that gained a defensive advantage.

 

Penalty is at 3:00 - definite contact as she was about to shoot.

 

If you take a massive swing at the ball but kick a defender before you make contact and fall on your arse that's also accidental contact that gained a defensive advantage, and it'd be no more a pen than White's was.

Never a pen but agree to disagree.

 

Aye let’s. You’re wrong but I respect your opinion

 

I think all y'all who claim it was a pen are nuts but I, er, respect your opinions.

 

It’s was women’s football. There are no nuts. Checkmate brother.

 

There are chest nuts.............
