England Lionesses vs Australia

If you get a chance visit bbc website and watch the "highlights" from this game. Phil Neville is absolutely correct in his summing up. I await to see others' thoughts.
Be a good one for VAR

I was at the match last night and as I commented on someones Tweet without seeing any replays it was a shocking performance from all 3 onfield officials.  Seeing it again and replays make those decisions look even worse! With VAR England could have scored 4 goals (without all the other missed chances) before Australia scored. Also there was another did it or not cross the line but no goal line technology in use!

If a level 7 was making some of those decisions you would be asking them if refereeing was for them.
The assistant gets the more difficult decision right which was the first pass but then flags a player behind the ball offside, which is basic LOTG.
The first penalty shout the England player does go through 2 Aussie players but there is definite movement of the leg/body to block or trip.
The second one is embarassing. How can it not be anything other than a penalty?
Lets hope the ladies that have been selected can perform at a much higher level of competence

Just watched it, it's not good viewing is it?
“They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”  Laurence Binyon

I will give her the benefit of the doubt with regards to knowledge of the LOTG.  She got the first decision right because she was in exactly the right position.  She got the second wrong because she was 4-5 yards short of where she needed to be.  Being in exactly the right position for the second one wouldn't have been easy for anyone but better anticipation and  sprinting ability would have helped.
