105+2' (of +1') 1-0 Eriksson right ck, outswings to 8m 1/3 right. Asllani runs up from box top, heads softly down into the wall, off Janogy's back(?), it bounces away. AE1 1-0.
Golden goal was also tried and rejected roundly in 1868 and again in 1993. It went away for the second time in 2002.
My first serious contact with the beautiful was at a time when the golden goal was commanding over extra time. I really liked that rule, especially after so many great moments I saw involving golden goals (Laurent Blanc, Zinedine Zidane, David Trezeguet, Jung-Hwan Anh, etc.).
106' 1-0 Asllani chests a high drop through box top left, drives past van der Gragt(?) to 9m mid-left, turns away from her pressure, backpass. Seger passes down mid-right, too fast for Jakobsson(?). 108' 1-0 Roord crosses from box right, blocked back to her at 14m mid-right. Roord shoots left instep through Sembrant's legs, wide right low into side netting.
Beautiful shot by Groenen. And the Dutch are still playing on the front foot, attacking the Swedes. Sweden is paying for playing too defensively; don't they know that they need to score to win?
There were a couple pretty good moments without the golden goal, like Rapinoe to Wambach in the 122nd minute against Brasil.
1 - Jackie Groenen scored with her first shot on target this #FIFAWWC for the @oranjevrouwen. Timing. #NED pic.twitter.com/ZLmrDHCZty— OptaJohan (@OptaJohan) July 3, 2019
USA favors the 2ET rule because we've scored at 120+2' to tie (Brasil), and at 120+3' to win (Canada) 111' 1-0 Sweden subs in: - (3 of 3+1) #20 Mimmi Larsson for #11 Stina Blackstenius - (4 of 3+1) #2 Jonna Andersson for #6 Magdalena Eriksson.
No one seemed to complain about uneven rest days when the USA was getting one less day rest every single match leading up to and including the semifinal.
113' 1-0 Janogy does many fast cut-backs at 2m wide right, backpass. Seger one-touch through-ball to box top mid-right, cleared. 114' 1-0 Glas dribbles down right touch, van de Donk spins self down around Glas' left, ties up ball lying on her side. Foul on Glas?
115' 1-0 Asllani right ck, outswings to 8m 1/3 left, Sembrant jumps for a challenged header, ball bounces off her leftward. 115' 1-0 van de Donk slides and undercuts Asllani at 27m mid-right. Foul, yellow card on van de Donk. 116' 1-0 Asllani fk at 27m mid-right, right instep inswings just over Fischer jumping at 10m right post, van der Gragt heads away.
I think both teams need to play on both sides of the field, so no one gets an unfair advantage. In case one side of the field is more beat up than the other.
117' 1-0 Glas settles at circle center, misses a through-ball too fast down mid-right lane. 118' 1-0 Seger counters up circle left, passes ahead to Jakobsson through box top left. van Lunteren slide-stretches through 6m and blocks ball off Jakobsson's foot, over endline left. 119' 1-0 Asllani left ck, to 4m 1/5 left, van Veenendaal punches away to box top center. Zigiotti Olme shoots one-touch, van de Sanden jumps and blocks. Asllani collects at 11m mid-left, shoots right instep across mouth, wide right 1/2 high.
Van de Sanden has had such a bad tournament that she is funnily going to end up somehow scoring the winner in the final
120+1' (of +2') 1-0 Asllani tries a pass up box right, intercepted. Netherlands switch (their) right to van de Sanden at box top right touch, backpass. Pass to van de Donk at 18m box right, she taps down box right for van de Sanden cutting alone through 14m box right. van de Sanden creeps to 7m 6-right, never quite pulls trigger -- snaps right outstep shot across mouth, way wide left low. 120+1' (of +2') 1-0 Asllani jumps looking backward at circle left, Bloodworth jumps and heads ball point-blank into Asllani's left jaw/neck. Asllani lands bent backward, bends further on impact, stays flat on back. Stoppage.
120+3' (of +2') 1-0 Stretcher is brought out for Asllani, still flat on back at circle left. 120+5' (of +2') 1-0 Neck restraint, backboard EMTs do the backboard-loading protocol, strap her to it. 120+6' (of +2') 1-0 Backboard is loaded onto the stretcher ... 120+7' (of +2') 1-0 ... Asllani stretchered off. Sweden have used all 4 subs, resume with 10.
