Re: Women's World Cup
I think it is a good thing as long as it is not abused, such as players pestering the referee for VAR. Too much money in the game now for referee and assistants mistakes. Every weekend you get controversial decisions. Referees are only human and don't see everything.

I did'nt think it was a penalty either. There was minimal contact. The referee took so long looking at the monitor, for a minute, I thought she was watching something on the other channel!

It should have been declared and taken at once instead of faffing about for a good five minutes.
In tonight's semi final Sweden had what looked like a stonewall penalty but VAR was never consulted.

Re: Women's World Cup
Tonight's semi final was a really turgid affair, both sides playing safety first football. I was praying, that anyone from either side would score, to save the misery of extra time. But no, we were subject to another 30 mins of the same mediocre fare. The Americans must be licking their lips for Sunday's final against the Dutch. At least it should be a helluva lot more exciting than what we were subject to this evening.
