    Neville might not be the best tactical coach but I do like his man/woman management.

    I’m am shocked that of all the matches we’ve had, the trolls pick ENG:CMR to make their appearance.

    Would have been fun to have those conversations between ref and VAR being broadcasted though. It would calm down a lot of tempers on social media if we listen to the explanations from the horse's mouth on live TV.

    Cameroon has had lots of bright moments. If the keeper had played the ball with her foot and VAR hadn't jobbed them of what still looks to me a good goal, this would be a very exciting last 10 minutes.

    Wrong!!! There have been plenty of refs checking for the correctness of calls including on/offside in this tournament and there also were plenty that checked in the men's WC. It is a choice and it shows that they are cowards when they don't check such close calls.

    She was clearly off
    They showed the lines.
    She was closer to the goal line than the second last defender.

    What exactly are they checking then? The line that is blatantly obvious even if the ref sees it on the big screen on the pitch.

    Yeah. It's still the ref's call. Something this important, the ref should have checked.

    After the final whistle, the ref should be ready to run for the tunnel before Cameroon players realize the game is over...lol...They might beat her up...

    Irrelevant. It’s blatantly a obvious decision which is why the VAR team make it. The only exceptions are when players are offside and the ref checks to see if they were interfering with play. This was not the case obviously on both decisions.

    They are only adding seven minutes in spite of the much greater time Cameroon spent in theatrics. I guess they figure the game is over anyway.

    VAR on again. I smell a red card against Cameroon coming up.

    edit: Or not...

    Blatant red. This ref bottling another decision to calm the Cameroon team down. Farcical.

    I am sorry, but this time I don't agree with you. The refereeing was consistent with what we've seen at this World Cup since the first day, when 'Mbock Bathy's goal was disallowed for a similar question of mere centimeters. I understand the frustration, as much as I understood it back then, but by now we should know that's the standard of the calls in this World Cup and act accordingly.

    I can't see no blatant wrong call against Cameroon. On the contrary, the Ref looked quite lenient with Cameroonian players at times.

    What I saw has been a collective tantrum that looked very childish, the way a child acts when he's frustrated and wants to make you feel guilty no matter what.

    I have to appreciate English players' composure. Imagine how they can feel: they didn't do anything wrong and they just went on winning a game without doing aything unfair, but for some reasons they should feel like robbers.

    And last thing: I am sorry but I just don't buy the "racism" card. I am persuaded that if the same exact calls had been made against a different team from a CAF's one, no-one would have made such a fuss about them.
