Did Nigeria get screwed with the call going against them for the keeper moving early?

Yes, I think Rennard stutter stepped a bit and keeper barely came off line I guess? Too nitpicky IMO.

Well that's so BS then... I get why they would call it then but if a player makes an "attempt" to shot, and I count a stutter step (since moving forward) then a keeper should be allowed to move

I don't know the rule, but the stutter was on the approach. Honestly didn't care for the initial foul call either... They collided, but...

Yeah that's what I mean.. Player "approaches" the ball to make an attempt to kick it whether it is to deceive keeper or not) then keeper should be allowed to move imo

That's so dumb... A player doesn't have to come off the pitch when a card is given... Trainers come out... Player should sit on sideline for at least one play

VAR hands France a goal... Getting a bit out of hand IMO.

I wish I saw it.. Did she really move too early?

Yeah, BS IMO. IF the keeper had stopped it, maybe, but she MISSED. Also, as a lot online have pointed out, if she had made the PK, would they have done a do over since the keeper moved? I think not.

Not out of every group, but the top 4 third place teams advance. 6x groups of 4, and 16 make it to knockout, so you get the top 2 of all 6 groups to get to 12, and the the top 4 third place teams.

Nope, they wouldn't have even reviewed it imo if she initially had made it

No team in World Cup history has come back to tie after down 3-0. Argentina pulls off the stunner with 16 minutes left. Damn!

Not much of a soccer spectator, but I've been watching this match... So far the US has dominated the possession. But little mistakes on the back line are keeping things interesting.

Sauerbrunn has been making a lot of little mistakes with decision making, but luckily she hasn't cost them a goal yet. O'Hara is not giving her midfielders very good placement but she clears it pretty well. Dunn is spectacular. Her ability to defend as much space as she does is amazing.

The final round robin games were played today. Knockout round begins Saturday. Canada is through and plays Sweden on Monday. Looking at the playoff brackets I think it'll be USA/Germany in the finals.

Dunn really impressed me as well. Her ability to attack a wing player on an island and clear the ball off her feet is amazing. Combined with her getting forward like she does....wow

As much concern with the center of the D line I noticed what they did well....they used the center Mids to help push the opponent attack to the mids and Dunn and O’Hara were capable time and time again. Shots on goal were often from wing angles and that’s easier to stop most times. Still a dicey defense to me....but that was much more of a quality opponent they handled.
