Officiating re: penalties has been really lenient this tournament.

A handball on its own isn't a VARable foul, right?

e: one that's not in the box I mean

Yeah she stands and waits for it instead of challenging.

Overall I have no idea why Australia has been getting praised by announcers/other talking heads, they haven’t scored from open play and have been a hot mess defensively, their star has looked mediocre, and the US wrecked them in the warmup.

I'm not too sure there's been any game I enjoyed the whole way through. Once a team went down a goal few looked like they could come back. This looks like it'll be fought until the end.

Although I am looking forward to the next game today. I thought the Saffas were screwed against Spain and will be looking to right their loss.

This is a great game, but Australia has looked a little lost and out of synch. I expect Brazil to pull away once exhaustion sets in

Goalie had to guard that as a cross, and the striker completely missing the ball threw her totally off. Had the forward touched, then the goalie was in a great spot

Brazil have thrown this away. In the first 10 minutes of the second half they've had a couple of breaks but no willingness to get the ball in early. They've had opportunities to upset the Australians, forcing them to drop deeper but haven't taken them. My €1 Brazil bet is disgusted.

I'm disgustingly casual when it comes to following football, what was that call even about? Was somebody potentially offsides?

That’s an interesting edge case. Fox’s “rules expert” got it right for a change

Wow, I don't think I can ever predict how the VAR calls go, it seems to go the opposite of my hunch :psyduck: what a decision to make though, offside-onside mess as that was.

Brazil should have more than enough to get something out of this game still
