Seems ticky tacky. There's a defender trying to block the shot with his leg extended towards the goal not more than a step from the goal area while the player who eventually heads the ball is trying to hold his position about the same distance from the goal area. The replay from Twitter is at a horrendous angle for making that call, but not sure if there's another replay floating around.
No, they actually looked decent, but I hoped by 2024 I’d be past losing to France 3-0 and thinking about the way they could progress.
I worry a bit about goal differential, but realistically they always needed results against New Zealand and Guinea. I just worry in this format that they get grinded down into a couple low scoring games and then New Zealand advances on goal differential or something like that.
Prison sentence? I know, suspended, but is this a crime? Or an infraction that should be dealt with by the team, federation, or FIFA with fines and other penalties?
It was for the illegal use of a drone above 250 grams I think. Like driving without a license.
As someone who watched the whole game, this is consistent with what my eyes told me. But France finished on two great shots from outside the box, and the US missed at least three point blank chances.
I was only able to watch the second half so I don’t have a ton of commentary but those xG numbers are tough.
She's badly overhit two of them. Wonder how much longer she gets to take those.
I’m not so worried. The bracket is set up such that the winner and 2nd place from group B go to the same side of the bracket:
Because the initial incident happened at the Olympics and she was sent home by the Olympic Committee, not the federation. The Canadian Fed then suspended her. Two others on the staff were sent home, including the one flying the drone.
