Dennis 634 Posted July 3, 2019 #592 Share Posted July 3, 2019 had to play the UEFA play-offs to qualify for this World Cup, and now they're in the final. The Dutch women been undefeated in big tournaments since the 1/8th final loss against Japan in 2015, as they won 6 matches in a row at Euro 2017 winning their first major title, after debuting in 2009 (semi-finals) and playing in 2013 (finishing last in their group), and now another 6 wins in a row at this World Cup in only their 2nd appearance ever. And now they will also debut at the Olympic Games. They've grown so much in such a short period of time. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swewi 352 Posted July 4, 2019 #593 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Summary of yesterdays game: -Sweden dominating first 70 minutes and it is bad that they couldnt score during that time - Sweden deserved a penalty, don´t remember the time but it was in the 2nd half I think. Very strange after all the use of VAR that they didnt even look at the situation. - Last maybe 25 minutes the Netherlands was instead dominating and they continued in the whole extra time. - Terrible referee. "Fortunately" both teams suffered from that. Edited July 4, 2019 by Swewi Dunadan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 14,364 Posted July 4, 2019 #594 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Terrible referee? I enjoyed how she managed to keep control by talking instead of throwing around cards.

Monzanator 4,159 Posted July 4, 2019 #595 Share Posted July 4, 2019 There was nothing wrong with the referee here. Losing fans always blame the ref though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there was something wrong and not only losing fans complaining? Irrati was the VAR...the best one in Serie A for 2 years in a row, he's not incompetent and commits very few mistakes. I'd say some of the possibilities are: a) a huge blunder, like he was looking elsewhere or something like that or b) technology didn't work or c) he got instructions to favor NED over SWE or d) NED player is his girlfriend. Choose the one that you prefer, I'm not certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose the one that you prefer, I'm not certain. If the ball's inside the area I'd rather think all three people in the VAR room are not looking elsewhere I think the ball trajectory suggested it was played by the Dutch defender, there was a very similar tackle in the group stage Italy vs Jamaica IIRC when BBC screamed bloody murder and outrage when a penalty was awarded for Italy (Jamaican defender clipped the ankle which went sideways and played the ball like it was tackled by the Jamaican player clean). Only after VAR replay the absolute idiot BBC commentator had to eat crowd and admit it was a stonewall penalty (I believe you watched that game since you're Italian). Sadly this error clearly falls on Irrati who didn't even make the call to the ref on the pitch. Yes, I believe VAR replay could have given Sweden a penalty but it's all irrelevant now.

dcro 10,210 Posted July 4, 2019 #600 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Didn't the Dutch player rather clearly went for the ball? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
