Some of the refereeing so far has been unbelievably bad. Another gem at the end of that game.

I really have no idea how the standard of refereeing can be this poor. Surely they have to go through the same tests etc as the men?

What happened? Is there a clip?

There have been others but it's hard to find highlights for most of the games.

Japan's penalty yesterday at 2:11 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05zhvxn/womens-world-cup-2015-day-3-catchup

I saw the Japan game live and nobody seemed 100% sure what the ref had given. To give a penalty which lead to the only goal of the game was shocking.

Such bizarre decisions. :fp:

Germany in red. Norway in white. Obviously.

That confused me - I've never known Germany to play in red.

Just seen this on Twitter. There are probably better versions of it, but what on earth was the defender doing? And how was a penalty not awarded?!

That was at the 2011 tournament, although the standard of refereeing at this one hasn't been great.

Four minutes of stoppage time at the end of Australia v Nigeria.

But look again: the game ends after 70 seconds.

I knew that :shifty:

the overall standard of refereeing does seem to have been declining over the past few years. Fingers crossed for robot refs within in the next couple of seasons.

Just FYI - England vs Mexico kicks off in ten minutes on BBC 3.

PostRe: The Woman's World Cup by **TigaSefi** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:19 pm

France vs Columbia was a cracking match!! This England one isn't so far.

PostRe: The Woman's World Cup by **Chris** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 9:38 pm

We're doing better now. Just need a goal before half time.

Women are wearing wrong colours for some nations

"If that had gone in that would've been excellent for England."

Alright Andy...

PostRe: The Woman's World Cup by **Chris** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 10:29 pm

England 1-0 up. Definitely deserved.

PostRe: The Woman's World Cup by **Dowbocop** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 10:34 pm

Totally, Mexico don't look like doing much, but you never know with some of the distance goals in women's football sometimes.
