Penalty to France (it wasn't)
France miss penalty.
Give France a second chance as keeper moved .000001 second before ball was kicked. |  |

So the French striker got kicked from behind by the Nigerian defender nowhere near the ball, that’s not a penalty? Wow! |  |

I genuinely can not believe that decision, and the keeper was booked! |  | | |

Anywhere else on the pitch that’s a free-kick, shouldn’t make any difference that it occurred in the penalty area. | |

Football is dead.
If both those decisions had been made in men’s World Cup if would be talked about for weeks. The retake decision is probably the most ridiculous decision I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t agree with it even if the keeper saved it, but to book her and order a retake for coming off her line when she didn’t even save it is just a total joke.
VAR is killing football in so many ways. |  |

Mind you when keepers have made a save 3 or 4 yards off their line that’s encroaching the rules and they’ve got away with it in the past. It’s a tough one, it’s difficult enough for keepers to make the save from a penalty, perhaps they’ll have to think about their set positions to make sure they have one foot on the line prior to the penalty being taken? | |

Slow motion freeze frames of where the keeper's feet at the time the ball is struck is obviously where VAR is going to take us.
The law is that the keeper is cautioned. A retake has to be punishment enough surely ? | | | |

A booking is very harsh. | |

It is the inconsistency of VAR that cannot ever be rectified unless the entire game is controlled by instant computer decisions. How can you penalise a keeper stepping off a line when encroachment of players is ignored? How can you rule an offside is correct by a millimetre if a substitute warming up has a foot on the pitch at the same time and this is ignored? |  |

Football is supposed to be a spectator sport, and VAR detracts from that. It almost doesn't matter if it is the right or wrong decision as its part of the experience of watching football.
I say ditch VAR. Goal line technology is all you need.
Sadly i think its here to stay though. |  | | |

So the assistant referees don’t do a bad job after all? Don’t moan about any decisions that go against us next season through poor decisions by the officials then. We won’t have the luxury of VAR in lowly League One! | |

The keeper didn't foul the player, just stepped off her line for the penalty! I question that booking, and if that's what VAR is for than next season there is going to be a lot of retakes. | | | |

My point was the kick on the back of the leg for the initial penalty decision. | |

Or...goalkeepers will change their behaviour and play by the laws of the game, which require them to stay on their line. |  |

Nah, there won’t be. FIFA have no interest in influencing whether Everton win away at Southampton or not. |  | | |

Well they do their best, and until the day arrives when every decision is instantly made by a computer, that's the only consistent way of refereeing a game. | |

Crazy thing is that the keeper done exactly the same thing on the retake. So she should have had a second yellow card and the penalty should have been retaken again. |  | | |

I enjoy moaning at officials, it's part of the pantomime.
I would absolutely dread the day they got everything right. |  | | |

The game has too much money at stake for incorrect decisions by human error. VAR is the way forward, but still a few teething issues. | |

Agreed, but it just shows the inconsistencies regarding the VAR shambles.
It is not stopping the arguments, it is not ready for big games in it's present form.
Cricket has it worked out perfectly and it often takes less time for them to get to a correct decision. | | | |

The penalty decision is subjective, not objective, so a subjective decision is being replaced by a delayed subjective decision.
The keeper off the line is an objective decision, but on the re-take the France number six has a foot in the penalty area. So that was an incorrect decision that those in charge of VAR chose to ignore, probably to preserve the sanity of all involved. | |

I think, but am not certain, that if a goal is scored, infringements from the defending team are superseded by the goal, and vice versa if a save is made when attackers infringe. | |

Agree about the time.
Yesterday it took a minute to review a penalty incident before advising the referee to have a look at the pitch side monitor. Then another minute after that. It is far too slow. | | | |

It works in Cricket because Cricket is a different game, not because it is not yet up to speed in Football. | |
