I think refs are not up to time keeping and reffing- I have said this for a while. In terms of penalties, there was always common sense applied and you can tell if keeper was being ridiculous or not.
That new penalty rule is awful. Puts the keeper at such a disadvantage. What happened to injury time too?
No it really does not.
A penalty is supposed to be 12 yards away any less gives the keeper the advantage.
I think the new rule is brilliant, keepers should remain on the line
I thought the old rule meant that 'keepers had to stay on the line anyway (now they just need to have one foot), just referees were terrible at enforcing it
Isnt it now that they've got to stand still and not move to put the taker off like we've seen in the past
Keepers just aren't prepared for this VAR rule. It's making penalties more or less unsaveable
Goalkeepers invariably have both feet off the line - as you say they've not prepared for this VAR rule. The booking seems OTT - keeper could easily end up being red carded.
She did move off her line. That can't be argued. But a lot of time was lost in the whole incident from it being reviewed to retaken and that was unfair on both teams.
If you think clear and obvious it was a split second - millimetre decision between her leaving the line and the ball being kicked - it was intended to be instaenous - makes it harder for keeper as they have to accurately predict kickers run that doesn't have to be consistent
Bit of common sense has to be used in these VAR scenarios- used in the penalty decision was fair game but in the second decision you are expecting a robotic response from keeper
Scotland have some good players but they are a front foot team, defensively they are not so good. They need a manager who understands that or some better defensive players.
No one to blame but ourselves throwing away a three goal lead BUT, the game was stopped on 86 minutes to check VAR, the second penalty went in after 93 then the final whistle went on 95.

If Cameroon v New Zealand and Chile v Thailand end in draws then they're through to the next round

Stay on your feet, keep your arms down, dont do anything stupid

No problem with VAR.
The powers that be decided before this competition started to get penalties retaken if keepers move off their lines.
Could be carnage next season all over the football leagues where VAR is used unless this is just a trial ?
Coupled with VAR means the slightest movement off the line is punished. Football as we know it will be ruined imo by microanalysis in slow motion
