World cup

Only the second person ever to save a World Cup Final penalty and her reaction was brilliant!
OK Pondy, it's women's football, but they are playing teams of the same standard as themselves so that save still counts.
But better than that was her reaction! A true Lioness!

The penalty should have been retaken as the English Goalie obviously dived well before the kick was taken.

Movement isn't an issue, as long as one part of one foot is behind the line at the point the ball is struck. It was.

I think Mary Earps is great! But I am very shallow, so only because she is quite good looking! :wink:

Have another look enuff and another. It is clear that the goalie removed her right foot from the line before the player kicked the ball. It was so obvious to me at the time that I was amazed the striker still sent the ball to the right, she had lots of time to change her mind on the run up and tap it into the left.

I've looked several times.
We must agree to disagree.

VAR viewed it many times over and the stills they produced show the foot behind the line as the ball was hit. It didn't have to be touching the ground, just a tiny part of it behind the line.
In effect the same kind of thing as the positioning of the ball for the spot kick. It didn't have to be physically on the spot, as long as it was overhanging it. The referee actually checked it from above.

And in the end, none of it made any difference.

Indeed!
