Women's world cup
Been watching the televised games only. It's been quite entertaining at times and some of the players have some good skills. Like in the men's game, its the latin countries that are more prepared to play a bit dirty to get the end result.
But a lot of the refereeing has been awful. Clearly offside goals have been given, even after seeing it on VAR. Both Nigeria (versus France) and Scotland (versus Argentina) were stitched up by the ref making their goalkeepers face a retaken penalty.
I switched channels to see the end of the Scotland game when Jonathan Pearce said about Argentina having a last minute penalty. Didn't realise until reading todays newspaper about the refereeing fiasco that led to the penalty. Scotland were making a substitution but the referee allowed Argentina to carry on playing.
