FRANCE : UNITED STATES Referee: Kateryna MONZUL (UKR) AR1: Marina STRILETSKA (UKR) AR2: Oleksandra ARDASHEVA (UKR) FO: Kate JAZEWICZ (AUS) Reserve AR: KIM Kyoung Min (KOR) VAR: Danny MAKKELIE (NED)
Not a bad choice, I guess. She reffed the USA vs Nigeria group match and the WWC 2015 final - USA vs Japan.
Just getting this out there in advance (first page) any mistakes the referees made were not really mistakes and VAR is awful and has ruined soccer. Please refer back as needed. ;>)
Some people are acting a little punchy. [edit] Punchy is an adjective that isn't used much anymore. I guess we'd have to treat you as possibly concussed. [/edit]
I am interested to see if France will try to kick Morgan out of the game, and if so, how will the referee respond to this?
1. That decision to not flag for offside on Rapinoe didn’t seem close at all. 2. Definitely should have been a caution for Simulation.
Interesting sequence there, with several decisions: Rapinoe potentially offside... GK comes out of box gets ball first, but also puts studs right into Rapinoe's ankle Then Mewis dives.
Good job not to be fooled by the dive (I sure was in real time). Should have been a card, though. But not an easy call.
This is the second game where Morgan has become injured surprisingly at the 30 minute mark allowing the team to get a water break.
Can’t believed this wasn’t reviewed Two hands to back Knocks US player to ground Renard never touched ball
Lots of people here that would know more than I do about it but I think they only would look at that if France had scored?
Right. Then you came in commenting about what wasn't reviewed. Jokes or not, I was entertained by the BigSoccerness of it all.
