Well.....
this is a farce
All VAR induced, which is why it has to be better
England score their second and the line judge rules offside. VAR shows that White was onside and so the goal was reinstated.... but they showed the replay on the telly and in the stadium and Cameroon saw that Duggan was in an offside position. Duggan however was on the far side of the pitch and nowhere near the play. For a moment it looked as though the Cameroon players weren't going to carry on playing. Took 6 minutes to restart the game
Fast forward to the second half and Cameroon score a breakaway goal..... but VAR gets involved checking for offside again. This time they don't show replays on the telly... don't show the replay in the stadium...... I had to rewind to see that the girl who made the final pass was offside, so VAR rightly ruled out the goal..... but the players, the crowd, everyone, didn't get to see it, so everything kicked off again
farcical
I've heard pundits saying that it's worth taking as long as it takes to come to the right decision, but it has to be better than this or the game in general will descend into this sort of chaos. These are the women.... and they are all refreshingly naive about the way they play the game...... imagine how much the men will kick off, or worse... try to subvert the VAR process to their own ends?
3-0 England now
