Sorry not sorry for thinking the fact that France's doing everything they can do lose this game on purpose without it being too obvious
62' 1-1 Henry holds 1-v-2 in deep right corner, shoves one of them away , splits them and slips a pass to Gauvin(?). Shross blocked over by Risa. 63' 1-1 France right ck, to 6-top center, Hjelmseth comes out behind Renard and double-punches away. Majri drives through 8m box left, but clangs ball way ahead of her to 2m 4-left, Hjelmseth falls on that. 1138905352538349568 is not a valid tweet id 64' 1-1 Norway right ck, Reiten bends it too far, into right side netting.
Bouhaddi was probably bored so she came out of her box for no apparent reason... I smell one of her famous blunders coming.
Well I've always looked forward to the France vs US clash because I think they're the ones with the best chance of knocking the US out of this tourney
Okay perhaps a penalty and I don't reckon the fact that Renard or Henry miss too often but you know perhaps this is the day I want us to lose because 2nd in the group is probably the best
68' 1-1 Engen races Torrent head-on for a ball, extends foot, Torrent pokes ball away and Engen plants toe cleats into Torrent's right knee/thigh. Stoppage for treatment ... and a VAR check And the pbp crew (correctly) cite the precedent of Spain-South Africa, which was ... a penalty.

Three cheers for VAR! 72' 2-1 Le Sommer pk, right instep hard into back left low, past Hjelmseth's dive.

Agreed, I mean what could she have done? This reminds me about the US penalty against Krahn last WC where poor Krahn couldn't do anything
How is it a foul to kick a ball and then an attacker jumps in two-footed into your follow through. Your leg has to go somewhere.
75' 2-1 Reiten right ck, to 5m center, Bouhaddi catches high in the scrum. Bouhaddi has been very steady 76' 2-1 Norway subs in (1 of 3) #11 Lisa-Marie Utland for #21 Karina Sævik.
Norwegian's doing a good job of shielding the ball from their opponents, holding them off, and knocking the French off the ball. The USA could take a lesson or two from them in this regard.
1138907033867042816 is not a valid tweet id Not sure now if it was a PK. Defender got the ball first, the French player jumped in with both feet and caught the defender's follow-through.
