#world cup '23

.....and here we have another example of bad referring. Like yeah, it is kind of fun, but this is an automatic red card offense.

Just so we're all clear, other moments that go in the "bad reffing" column:

VAR reviews that last that long are usually a sign that the offense was not "clear and obvious" like they're supposed to be.

There were numerous instances of time wasting by Spain in the second half. Like that corner kick at 90'+3', geez.

Paralluelo should have received a second yellow for this moment (it's just a screencap) where the ball goes out of bounds, off her, and then she kicks it out again in frustration. You can literally see the ref reaching for her yellow card and then backs off? What the hell. Also her own reaction was pathetic, don't act like you don't know why the ref is glaring at you (I just hate when players do that).

There were plenty of moments where a foul should have been given and wasn't, or was given when there wasn't that bad of an offense.

I know I probably just sound like a hater and/or an trying to find ways to justify why the team I like more should have won, so two things:

Some of the penalty shot behavior from the English team was uncalled for. Like as fun as Mary Earps screaming "fuck off" is, that's also a cardable offense. And so was whatever the hell Bronze was doing to Hermoso, which was kind of dumb.

I'll say there appeared to be consistency from the ref for the most part, but her choices of what counts as a foul and what doesn't were bad.

Ugh, I'm just annoyed. This happened in the Spain v Sweden semifinal. It's been happening in other games too, I've just noticed it more significantly in these two; it begs the question, what the fuck is the point of the rule book if we're disregard it at time or just not follow it at all?

FIFA has just delayed a decision on a Palestinian bid to suspend Israel from international soccer until after the Paris Olympics, claiming that both parties had requested more time to submit their positions.

I wanna love these players, so I’m hoping behind the scenes things are happening to justify them coming back. There have been some moments during the tournament that make me wonder if the Spanish players are miserable: Putellas not high-fiving coaching staff, how the players celebrated wins separately from coaches, photos of Spanish players crying in the hallways after a win (I can’t remember what player it was and now I can’t find the article, of course, it was the Netherlands v Spain game though). Granted some of their celebration behavior today goes directly against that. And, it’s still not all of Las 15 who are back, so something’s gotta be bad. Until the players or journalists let us explicitly know there’s more to the story and that the players did in fact have a good reason to be there for this tournament, I’m gonna keep assuming they’re not. That may be morally wrong, but so is enabling an abuser. 

ok im just gonna put this out there, everyone hates you-know-who, but people who are like "I'm not cheering for him I'm cheerin for the players" that's not better. most of these players went back on something, bc most of the las 15 came back now there will never be change. Patri, Pina, and Mapi, players who are willing to miss big tournaments for the sake of change in the women game. i know this means nothing to them, but I've lost a lot of respect for those playerswho came back. i find it extremely frustrating to watch players, that in any other circumstance I would look up to , go back on their word and go back on their morals. so no, I will not be cheering for Spain in the wwc finals. and no, I will not be cheering "just for theplayers" bc they are condoning behaviour that other players have bravel stood up for and fought while they went back on their word

my favorite part about the uwcl final was me crossing my fingers and praying that barca wouldn’t let in a goal and then the camera panning to vicky doing the exact same thing…god i love our generation we’re so unserious with serious intentions

[mmichog]

absolutely gutted

[reginaimissyou]

getting real tired of having to type “women’s” or “2023” alongside “World Cup” cause search engines and tags keep showing me year old stuff from the men’s World Cup as if I’m interested in that and not the one that is currently happening.
