This is the future of the sport, constant VAR reviews. Like a game of American football this.

Won't be long until FIFA realises it can monetise these breaks.

Celebrating scoring a retaken penalty should be a cautionable offence. 

[urban.spaceman]

I should not have said that.

[LCFCJoe96]

Hopefully settle and get a bit of rhythm to the game now

Hahaha this VAR is somehow even worse. 
 

Talk through the process, not the final decision ffs. 

Exactly, let the fans here the whole discussion and how they’ve come to that decision, they may understand the decisions and create less aggro. 
 

As for the penalty just given what’s the point in stating her decision over the tannoy when it’s quicker and easier to understand a hand signal.

 

Its like they’ve begrudgingly accepted to accept the refs being miked up but are desperately trying to hold on to some sort of secrecy or power.

I think the part of the issue is they are explaining the decision, but the roar following the decision is so loud you can’t hardly hear it.

 

Pretty sure she was saying after no penalty that it’s a free kick due to an England foul. You just couldn’t hear it.

Surely with  the handball one they didn’t even need to let the ref check the scene just say handball as it was pretty easy to see after looking at it

England have been quite poor so far out muscled mostly and outplayed periodically.  
A team with someone who can score could easily be in front. 
They seem over anxious to succeed need to add some poise to their game.

Plucky little buggers those Haitians against some of those big bruising English girls ..  quite impressed by them. 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Only one warm-up game and the dispute with the FA over bonuses wasn't great preparation tbh. Might take them a couple of games to hit their stride.

Thought Haiti were the better side. England just putting it  into the box and trying to feed off scraps.

 

Can we sign Dumornay? She’s class. Best player on the pitch by a country mile.

 

[Countryfox]

Pony tails now old news …. 

 

 

[Countryfox]

Where’s the token bloke pundit ?? ..  shocking !

Just moved to Lyon, think she's passed us by haha

[LCFCJoe96]

Similar to the Austria game from the Euros last year in that it all looks a bit disjointed but we're winning, get through and hopefully build

[Countryfox]

Half time opportunity for the girls to sort things out ..

I was listening to some officials talking about this earlier, their view was that the explanation should come to help educate and understand and then the decision (verbally and shown in stadium). Issue at the moment is the decision is shown and the crowd responds and you can’t actually fully hear the decision communicated verbally from the official. I understand people want to hear the full decision making process but this is just the first step into trialling comms, you can’t just go and throw everything out all at once.

[Countryfox]

3 points ! ..  

[StanSP]

Russo deserves a goal 

[Countryfox]

Haiti deserve a goal ! .. 

[Countryfox]

She might only be 5’4” but she gathers crosses better than Kasper ..
