Women's Football FIFA World Cup 2019

Cameroon has a goal ruled out by VAR and the players have emotionaly lost it. If FIFA wants to claim women's football is on the way up to men's this is the worst example.

they always do that for Africa

Maybe it's time to bring back make officials to the WWC? This Chinese woman has completely lost it too. Allowing hissy fits to stop matches. This is absolute shambles of a game. Worst kind of advert for the women's football. England go 3-0 but it's basically irrelevant at this point.

France scores a goal with the shoulder but VAR takes it away

Wow, not a lot of good stuff to read about Cameroon...sounds like a very good thing for sports that they're out.

Half the players acting like little bitches does sound like it's getting close to the men's game to be fair

I wouldn't read English media who are always biased in favor of England anyway. Given how Australia & USA goals were allowed to stand at this tournament the fact that a player was actually running away from the goal when she was flagged for half a boot offside. That's really harsh. And it seemed like every VAR decision went against them. The referee almost took pity IMO when she waved off another penalty clain for England (ball was played back to another player before the foul) and only issued a YC instead of red right at the end. Cameroon looked like an amateur team with little knowledge of rules but the Chinese referee was absolutely the worst out there. She completely lost control of the game from the opening period. She should be banned from any future FIFA competitions, that was worse than Thailand's 0-13 massacre.

 

In general I think VAR isn't the main issue here, it's the piss poor quality of some (majority) referees. Meanwhile the most qualified of them all Bibiana Steinhaus has had only one game at this tournament so far. What are they saving her for esp. with Germany about to go deep in the tournament? She is missing on the R16 sheet so I can imagine she will do the QF in the non-German half (ENG vs NOR or USA vs FRA if things go to plan). But that could be it if Germany reach the last four. She should be doing like 5 matches at this WWC and she will most likely only do two while the other German ref Hussein has had three already. That's complete nonsense IMO.

I’d be surprised if the France - Brazil match ended with 22 players on the field. It’s rough out there.

I only read on places where underdogs are always favourited and even there they agreed Cameroon behaved very shameful. Didn't read any English media

Brazil with their best performance of the tournament so far. 1-1 after 75 mins.
