Womens Euro 2025


One thing I am liking about this tournament: it's separating the women from the girls.

Pure grit has got England and Germany through against the odds.

Sign of a good tournament: the flakey are getting found out.
 

What a disgraceful piece of refereeing there at the end when she told the celebrating players to wait for the VAR confirmation of the save. Talk about draining the game of any joy whatsoever.
What's the alternative? Letting them celebrate for longer? I hate VAR as much as most, but honestly thought she got it confirmed and handled quite fast. In the Premier League, we'd have had four minutes of cameras cutting between the VAR room and nervous players and fans.

Cracking game though.
 
Berger the star there. Amazing save in extra time, couple of saves and a penalty of her own. Pretty incredible given they were down to 10 since the 13th minute

Possibly the best save I’ve ever seen! Still, disappointed France didn’t get through. Thought the last kick of the game was going in

The alternative was to simply trust your own eyes and lineswoman. No call, no problem. Goal. This was a prime example of meddling.
 

So you'd want her to ignore the call from VAR to delay?
Yes.

Why is VAR involved at all? Linesman or ref thinks all is good, that’s that. It’s a penalty. Keepers always move.

VAR should only be involved if the ref or lineswoman thinks the keeper moved egregiously off the line and calls it. If they didn’t, no need for VAR.

Time for common sense in a game going mad.
