Cerberus Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Disappointed that the Australia woman's team is called the Matildas rather than the more obvious name, the Sheilas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbroathlegend36-0 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 She’s clearly offside but didn’t interfere with play so yeah correct decision. However would off been intriguing too see what they would of giving if the Brazil player had taking a glance behind her before hand 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieT1314 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Surely the fact the ball is being passed to her, causing the defender to try and intercept counts as interfering with play? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkinFighter Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Referee got that wrong in my view, it was clearly a pass to an offside player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 One or two of the Australians like a wee simulation. Hopefully that’ll put aside the patronising sanctimony of the “at least the women’s game is honest.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to see a bit of biting next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellAnderson Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Wrong decision IMO. VAR fucks it again. If the Aussie player isn’t there, the defender isn’t forced into gambling on the defensive header. No goal. f**k VAR honestly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Law 11 says: http://www.theifab.com/laws/chapter/31/section/87/ A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by: interfering with an opponent by: preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or challenging an opponent for the ball or clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball Clearly none of this applies so there is no offside offence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's not there, the defender leaves it and the keeper gathers. Her presence in the attacking position means the defender is under significantly more pressure and is forced into the error. It's a really tough call though, and one which IMO there's not really a "correct" answer to. Either side will feel aggrieved. It's yet another rule which is open to interpretation. Therefore the search for perfection by using VAR is futile. They're forcing the referee to make an impossible decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but if I a few metres behind you, does that impact on your ability to play the ball? And had it been further out, if the Aussie player received the ball from the header that would've been fine as it was a deliberate play. I think the goal decision is more correct, from what I've seen of similar situations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Probably the most entertaining match of the World Cup so far. Both teams going for it and a great comeback from Australia. Think this is the most competitive group 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
