Brutal line by the commentators.

"What will the legacy be for Marta, Formica, Christiane?"

"Empty."

Very weak handball call against Jamaica. Hit the players elbow and arm not raised.

Justice! Keeper stopped it!

Awful take on the PK by Brazil.

This Jamaican team is actually pretty good. They seemed very nervous the first 20 minutes or so.

I doubt they get a result now that they're down 2 goals but they could definitely still make the knockout rounds.

It would be amazing to see this team in 4 years if they actually had some financial support. The dang coaches are volunteers...

Foul, yellow on an easy call and 5 Brazilians swarm the ref begging and complaining about the call.

I hate that crap.

Jamaica is way bigger and Bunny Shaw in particular is giving the Brazilian defenders fits. And Brazil is a very old team. At some point that's going to catch up with them. They sat Marta for "tightness" but I suspect saving her legs is partly the reason.

Brazil's defense is very bad and definitely allows for Jamaica to get the high pressure they want to play with. Unfortunately, I think Jamaica really needed points out of this match to remotely have a chance to advance. They might be able to steal 1-point from Australia or Italy if the stars align, but I don't see more than that.

Bunny Shaw is going to get a pro contract out of this tournament though. Good for her.

Edit: Just looked it up and she signed a contract with Bordeaux yesterday!

Another dumb VAR ruling, imo. Ref doesn't call anything but play is stopped to review a completely incidental handball off an arm.

Agreed, these VAR handball calls that occur at the side of the box resulting in penalties are disappointing. England has looked better but Scotland was getting some chances on the break.

Agreed. I really though VAR was supposed to be in place to correct egregious missed calls. This is overboard.

Yep. Teams should just blast balls into the box and hope for a hand ball deflection

VAR should be used for offside goals, goal line disputes, and egregious fouls. That's about it.

Another handball, even more obvious than the first, just went unpunished. Inconsistency is annoying.

Its a combination of things. VAR being in place is one but the criteria for handling in Law 12 has changed. And none of us know what FIFA has told Referee and VAR to call. There are several changes to the LOTG this year that will really impact calls on the field. The GK on a PK is a big one. In the U20s GKs are getting carded and retakes are being ordered like crazy.

Man. 2 plus yds offside. Wait for a pass and a goal t decide to flag it. I get waiting on close calls and letting VAR help but if you are a FIFA AR and cannotbtrust yourself to raise a flag on a play 2 full yards offside in clear space you shouldn't be there.

I don't disagree. All they have done is make it look to coaches and platers as though the AR doesn't know what offside is.

This is such a frantic game, it's hard to judge quality but if England expects to get close to the finals, I would have expected them to press more and try to make a statement the way France did. Feels like they're setting back hoping to hold the score line.

Seriously? I think more it was great anticipation and athleticism by the keeper. Ball was well placed in bottom corner.

She hit the ball with very little pace and kept it on the ground. For me, that's an easy save for the GK and a poor take.

Pace was the issue. I have no problem going low corner. As a former (below average) goalkeeper I can say it's often more difficult to get down to lower 90 than it is to elevate to upper 90. But the lack of pace made it too easy to not only save, but prevent a rebound.

Canada having trouble creating good chances in the first half against Cameroon. Another surprising scoreline so far.
