Germany 3 (Popp, Dabritz pen, Schuller) V Nigeria 0

[GG of G]

Offside first goal - commentators on BBC fuming why that 1st goal wasn't given as an offside, showing how the 1st goal has to be an offside. Don't even get me started on the 2nd. it's a joke the whole lot........smh

[zoro]

It's just a joke the whole lot. The referee is as biased as they come, VAR is a joke, the game I enjoy watching and playing is finally gone to the dogs.

Please go back and watch the refs reaction when she got the VAR call.

Now that is a handball going by the new laws. If it hits your arm no matter what it is a penalty. Now it is not even given .

That is not the rule.

I told you guys Falcons are technically bad players..

Can you shut up abeg.

But it is true. The can't string five passes. What do you call that?

What does that have to do with bad calls affecting the game? Or is it not possible t win trophies by ‘parking the bus’? When Jose, Chelsea, ManU, Liverpool et al do it, na tactical master class but when done by a Nigerian team, they technically bad abi?

There hasn't been any bad calls. All calls have been legit. There is nothing wrong with parking the bus. Jose does it all the time but they still string more than five passes from time to time. Jose does it and win games with park the bus. Jose does it and you know that if his strikers should get on the counter you are doomed. Tell me, do you see that in this game?

Lol. You are forgetting I haven’t missed a Chelsea game in almost 20yrs. I can give you many but the obvious examples are against Barca and even Man City. But there are tons of examples that led to successful outcomes for Chelsea that it’s actually a thing of pride for fans.

[Comrade Machel]

Bbc analysts agree the first goal was offside and shouldn't have stood

[Its a Goal]

3 times we have been screwed by VAR.

[waka-man]

Uchenna Kanu is having a decent game. For all the abuse, Desire is working hard. We’re behinf because we’re playing a better team, better particularly at set-pieces.

[Odas]

That was not a penalty because her hand was firmly placed on her chest.

[Schillachi]

Was anyone seriously making a case that the penalty was not the right call?

3 times in a row...

[The Eagle]

Listening to these USA telecast commentators trot out all of the nasty stereotypes .... is boiling my blood. Did she really just say the word "naive"?

That is not what the rules says...haba

[Nkume]

VAR has been screwing small teams all tournament.

[tolahs]

Punchbag football. This Thomas Dennerby guy gotta have some tactics in his arsenal - especially with Corner kicks. We just seemed to have dropped in technique from the last time 1 really watched the girls. Girls struggling to control the ball - others running w/o looking up for passing options & a super slow pass rate on counters - it's so English Mens 3rd div of the '80s - blast the ball forward & hope something happens.
I missed the Frace match but even though Germany used to be a powerhouse - this German team doesn't look convincing.

What part of Sissoko’s arm did the ball hit during the CL finals?

…the hiring of a foreign coach showed that Nigeria was taking things more seriously.

I just mute am. There is no benefit to listening to us telecast commentary when the girls are playing. Especially from their female ex players.

Chief, am not talking of just one or 2 incidences or just this game, this whole WWC has been a joke from the whole VAR, refereeing fiasco. The whole beautiful game has been ruined beyond recognition

[charlie]

The penalty was very harsh, but they have consistently made that call, so no arguments.

The 2 missed offside and goal keeper interference calls leading to the first goal is what is boiling our blood. The Ref cannot say she didnt have an opportunity to review the event. She did, and still gave a goal that their own rules say shouldnt have been given.

Nah so nah. That the foreign coach is "teaching them the technical side of things"

[zoro]

A clearance kicks gets the ball but a follow through gets a players leg. A good ref would give a " take it easy caution" NOT A PENALTY.

Stupid Fox is not bothering to show the replay of the offside move. What is annoying is how the ref is pick and choosing which law to apply literally. The penalty call was wrong because the defender kicked the ball but her follow through leg was what caught the German. She was not going intentionally for her leg. If the ref was willing to make that call that was not based on intention then she should have called the handball on the German since the ball hit her arm even though it was not intentional.
