    Fingers crossed Brazil go out now, they seem a bit entitled at times. Hope Henry bangs in one from 40 yards out, she's excellent from long range.

    He seems to be trying to flirt with Sue Smith most of the time, she should tell him to **** off.

    Another debatable pen awarded to the US. (against Spain.) VAR brought in.

    It was never a pen in real time - went to VAR, looked even less like a pen, and still gave it.

    Crock of ****e.

    I said VAR would be a sack of $hit.

    I don't want to say I told you so, but I told you so.

    What puzzles me is why does the referee get to make a judgement call a second time after reviewing the video evidence ? It's a conflict of interest situation - do they really honestly want to make themselves look bad ? It should be a second independent neutral decision maker who gives the final call.
    There have been some horrendous calls by refs in this tournament.

    The whole competition has become a farce as it is all about the referees now. I was watching it all avidly but have now switched off mainly, stupid on field decisions and endless lengthy stoppages to review VAR. Lets hope to f**k it is not adopted in this format football wide :headbang:

    You're probably right there, it will make watching football even less appealing than it is starting to be on TV.

    I'd be quite happy to not have VAR at all , the only really useful recent innovation is goal line technology

    If you are going to stop the game all the time and have to wait to have every goal confirmed you at least have to get the decisions right
    in the end . This women's world cup has been a disaster for that .

    Geez, don't tell the Yanks. They wanted 4 quarters for the 94 World Cup games.

    I feel sorry for her, she's a good pundit on Sky sometimes but is having to be professional with him. There is no way he would talk to a male commentator in the same tone or generally

    He makes me miss Clive Tyldesley sometimes.

    He's on tonight with Sue Smith. Listen out particularly for when she has to pick the best player and his comments. He's already going on about players spouses, like he would do that in the mens game.

    Dutch penalty against Japan was very harsh.

    Unfortunately it's a penalty based on the recent changes to the handball rule. Which is bollocks, because she literally couldn't have done anything about it.

    She was quite clearly trying to move her arm out of the way too.
    Shades of Liverpool's first against Spurs.
