I see that the officials are announcing all the VAR decisions by microphone to the stadium. Makes it a bit NFL-esque but it puts a bit of clarity to the situation, also the decisions made are so much quicker than what we're used to seeing in the Premier league aswell. That makes it better, like I said before, a time limit should be on the VAR check and if it's not fully resolved then the refs decision stands.

It should be implemented throughout the footballing world.

Yes they are announcing them but not explaining anything about why they’ve come to said decision. Not sure what it adds that we didn’t get from them signalling the decision.

VAR by design shouldn’t take long…it’s to correct obvious errors. If it takes an age and numerous slow motion replays from multiple angles it’s not a clear and obvious error.

A couple of dynamite penalties yesterday

I take it all back now. W*nk decision.

But correct decision, Russo fouled the Haiti player not the other way round.

This one is also correct as she was playing volleyball not football.

Then the Co commentator made the ridiculous remark saying she can’t understand how a player can be booked for something that occurred after the original foul!

Because the foul occurred before the VAR alerted the ref to the potential penalty so was still live play.

This Ref is doing exactly that though.

A player can be cautioned whether in live play or not.

I think it's more a case of endangering an opponent/violent conduct whether in play or not, like if she had punched her

The couple I’ve seen they’ve just said “after review my decision is etc” which is no different to them just signalling penalty as they did before. No explanation as to how they came to the decision so how’s it any different.

To be honest it was borderline red card!

I dont agree. Both players have eyes on the ball, just have a coming together of legs, neither player goes down and the defender still manages to clear the ball. To me it looked like a cop out decision to stay away from any controversy. If that happens in the middle of the park it's played on.

[Doreets]

I wish they'd all stop neshing out of 50/50's it's like watching 22 Mark Randall's

[spireitetoo]

Ha ha, just blown for full-time early, restarted game then immediately blew for full-time again.. 🤦‍♂️

Never thought I'd see a game more boring than England 0 - 0 Algeria at the 2010 world cup but here we are, that's not even a slight on women's football,that was just complete and utter dross

They aren't winning it all on performances like that....

[Wooden Spoon]

Russo and Walsh didn’t get into it at all and England are missing Mead.


The Haiti left winger looked a tidy player though.

I agree. 30-60 seconds is long enough to identify a clear and obvious error by an official. Also, get rid of the pitch side monitor. That's passing the buck.

Started slow in the euros, first game wasn’t a great performance. Hopefully they grow into it like they did the euros.

I hope so, they definitely need to be better in the final 3rd...
