Women's world cup

Forwards look gassed but also wasteful. Really could have had 3 more if they were clinical

The difference being she doesn't have to put her foot up there. She chooses to play the ball high and the consequence is when she hits Morgan who is challenging in a legal manner it's a foul. There isn't much to think about here. Middle of the field no one blinks twice if that's given as a foul. I don't think anyone argues if it isn't VAR either.

No she does have to put her foot there! She is a defender. She is raising her foot to kick it away as it comes over Morgan, Morgan just bunches herself up and throws herself towards the defender.

It wouldn't have been given as a foul in the middle of the field would it though as it wouldn't have gone to VAR.

It was not dangerous play at all. People seem to be adding a foot on top of how high her foot was for some reason. Morgan drops her head/body down.

Again we have had players being subbed today due to a missed header resulting in a clash of heads. Which one is more dangerous?

Its a pish rule that players can manipulate which they will because players just love to cheat. All of them. Sport doesn't matter any more.

The two FBs for the USA - O'Hara and Dunn - have been great all tournament.

I don't think it matters who initiates contact when someone's foot is that high and there is contact it's a foul on the person who's foot is 5 feet off the ground.

Kinda like Sissoko In the CL final. Regardless of what the rationale was for having his arm like that, if the ball hits your arm in that position, the referee has no choice

Morgan was a foot off the ground mate.

The defender was out of control. Created the situation to get unlucky

Its a very convenient angle that proves nothing seeing as she dives into the foot before the ball even comes.

People don't see the blatant gamesmanship going on in football. "Oh contact was made, has every right to go down" etc etc. It's garbage and people keep getting conned by it.

Yeah she threw herself into the foot!

The defender was not out of control! She was going one way to get a touch on the ball and then Morgan changes her direction to get the contact.

Its been going on for years and its wrong.

No mate. It doesn't matter who initiates contact when the defender has her foot up like that. It's high and by default it's dangerous. If she didn't want Morgan to hit her foot she shouldn't have had it at shoulder height.

Have the RS taken any credit yet?

@Papa Shango having a mare here.

“She dives into the foot.” Haha okay. She’s literally jumping toward the ball.
