Are penalties essentially a coin flip like they are in the men’s game?

There was a Brazilian defender there whose sole purpose appeared to be keeping every French attacker onside.

California. Duh.
It was a good ball in, but how do you let France cross it on onto her foot? It's not like Henry out-jumped everyone, it got all the way to the ground right in front of the box.

Marta can still out-dribble everyone, but she isn't fast enough to get away even if she beats the defender anymore. Especially 110 minutes into a game.

That ball is dangerous even if the Brazilian defender is on the other side of the player, but when all you can do is try to drag her down from behind there's no chance.

The goal kicks vs corner calls for this tournament have been the worst I've ever seen. Can't believe there's not more player protest.

The good news for the US is that if they advance past Spain they'll be facing someone with 30 extra minutes on their legs, albeit with an extra day of rest.

Looked like garbage when I first saw it. Replay showed that she stepped on her ankle. Still not sure I'd call it.
