Where is the running commentary for the USWNT quarterfinal match? This site is garbage now, it’s a damn shame.
While they missed some key opportunities, I will be sorry to see the French go out, they’re fun to watch. Would have been interesting to see a Japan – France final.
Knew it would be her
Really hoping French make it but Germans will have the advantage in penalties
watch the replay again it DID NOT HIT HER ARM. it hits her shoulder. bogus call bogus attempt.at justifying it
That’s not a penalty. It went off her shoulder when she was turned facing the ball. It was kicked into her shoulder she didn’t raise it. That’s not a pk, but the one against germany that was missed in the first half absolutely was. More BS officiating in this tournament
Sorry, it was definitely a penalty. It hit her outstretched arm in the box. There’s no ambiguity about it.
Really questionable penalty decision…
I think it was as clear as can be.
This has been an awesome match.
Yes! Terrific match so far
Anybody else watching the Women’s World Cup final between France and Germany?
