And now France-Gibraltar: 11-0. The 28 years old record is beaten. EDIT: 14-0 final score.
And there it is. France-Gibraltar: 10-0.
France against Gibraltar 9-0 at the 69th minute. They are only at 1 goal from their historical largest victory (France Azerbaijan 10-0 in 1995,...
As much as pickup soccer can only help as a different form of training, I believe we're exaggerating its importance in players development. The...
That's BS. She wouldn't have deflected the ball if her hand wasn't up in the air. And I would even say she clearly makes a final quick gesture to...
Blame my poor English here. It is a sign of affection to call female players "filles" in French (women doing it themselves) and I mistakenly...
Yeah exactly. We had maybe one penalty kick per game on average in this world cup, and the same in Qatar. That's far too many and it has grown...
Home refereeing was to be expected. When 50,000 people stay silent when home team commits a foul and yell when they consider the away team commits...
I still believe the French girls were better individually (well at least some of them), but they were very disappointing collectively. Their...
Football is a free flowing game. Even when the ball goes out, players continue "playing" by repositioning themselves, which is particularly...
Well, still. I liked it better when a foul had to be intential and/or cancel out a clear goal opportunity to be whistled in the penalty area....
There's clearly no conspiracy. There's however a pattern to give a lot more penalties since VAR was first implemented in 2018. That's a fact...
This reminds me the old days of men's football untill the 1990's when you often saw oppositions between small technical teams and tall athletic...
The Swedish speed in first half came from a higher physical intensity. The Japanese girls could hardly touch a ball.
Sweden won the game in first half. They were just too athletic for the Japanese to resist. Things got more balanced in 2nd half with Swedes unable...
In this tournament only? That has always been the problem since VAR was implemented.
None of both were penalties. Typical BS of modern football.
She was diving, not a penalty, again.
That's all I hate in modern football. You have one penalty per game on average, 3 out of 4 being completely unintentional.
A handball is what the Dutch defender has done against Spain. Not that. I'm sorry.
Not at all, she was preparing to jump much before the ball was even deflected by the Swedish player. It's the ball that goes to her hand, not the...
Typical VAR penalty. Never you would whistle that in real time. Never that handball is made on purpose, it's a pure slow mo distortion.
That was shoulder to shoulder. The Dutch forward lost the ball to the Spanish keeper so she just fell down.
Considering I've grown very skeptical about VAR over the years (so many stupid penalties whistled because of it), I must say that this time VAR...
Clearly the best team won. Yet Spanish ladies frustrated me in first half with all those useless passes in the penalty area. They ruined so many...
