Bright and Stokes completely out classed. Bright not made a decent pass.

I think Lucy Bronze is trying too hard. Overall we're being outplayed.

Even my Mrs said she's hot. Who am I to disagree ðŸ˜
As for the football we are being outclassed and we look far to scared of the event

Some great ball control skills on display, followed by a rubbish pass. It's a strange contrasting mix.

she had a bad bug prior to the quarter final and she had a poor 2nd half. I don’t think she has fully got over it.

I'm beginning to see Stu C's point of view with this; I thought it was supposed to be for CLEAR and OBVIOUS errors.
Yes, within the letter of the law the offence was complete, but did she really gain an advantage?
In this and the men's world cup we've had more than our fair share of help with VAR.
For me, that offside was the type it should be. Realistically a lino couldnt be expected to be able to see a call that tight. But if we want correct decisions then help would be required.
Edit to say, that according to what I’ve seen on the Fifa website. The wording is “The VAR team communicates with the referee only for clear and obvious mistakes or serious missed incidentsâ€. I’d argue that an offside that’s missed could be described as a serious missed incident.

That's the sort of decision that always used to go to the attacking side.
No Lino in the World would have picked that in real time.

If anyone thinks introducing a system that reduces the amount of goals per game, interrupts the natural flow of the game and sucks the spontaneous joy out of the game is somehow an improvement really doesn’t understand football.
Edit.. and that was never a penalty 😄

Not a pen for me, and not a good one either.
Is a CB really our second best penalty taker?!

Ooh, there is an echo.
It's like being pregnant, with offside you either are or you aren't. It's cut and dried. I agree it was ridiculously marginal but ultimately she was off so that's that.
Whilst typing, a penalty was given by VAR. It took too long, over to StuC ðŸ˜, didn't look a penalty to me and the penalty was rubbish so it ended about right.
I must have missed something. VAR has allowed ruled out goals too hasn’t it?
I’m not saying it’s perfect yet, or the answers to everything. But the goal we had ruled out was the correct decision and didn’t disrupt any natural flow as a goal being scored creates a natural break in a game.

A sub, with one minute remaining. Really?

I totally get your point, but it is also a system that has so much potential to remove the influence that the diving wingers have on the game these days and for that reason alone I'm prepared to give it a run and see if we can't sort out the issues that you point out (spontaneous joy excluded, obviously).
P.S. It so was a penalty.
