The new announcement protocol hit a little snag during the Spain-Zambia game. There was a goal ruled offsides that was under video review and the referee announced it as:

”after review, no goal. no offsides”
*pause, presumably for someone yelling in her ear*
”no offsides, no offsides. Goal! Goal!”

So there actually is some challenge to announcing stuff like this...

In (US) Football, a member of the officiating crew will act as a scribe and will make notes/confirm what the Referee is actually announcing in a quick chat before the announcement. And they are making sure what is said exactly matches that. If not, they make sure a correction is made.

If they’re following the VAR protocols properly then the referee is supposed to confirm the final decision with the VAR before leaving the monitor.

Dumb question, and I think I know the answer since it’s been discussed before. But watching the women’s World Cup, it’s mentioned many times players who played in US colleges. Just like many other Olympic sports.

Is there any chance that at least the women’s rules adjust to be more international?

For the NCAA rules? Doubtful. The length of the seasons would have to be extended in order for teams to get proper rest if they moved to limited substitutions and the schools have been actively resistant to that kind of change (because it’s more expensive).

Yeah, but in football they’re writing down the line of scrimmage, which hash the ball is to be placed, if time needs to be added back on, if the clock is on the snap or on the ready, where the chains need to be set, if there’s a penalty, if there’s a player ejected. They’re writing down a lot more than just the announcement.

These World Cup ones have literally been “after review, there is offsides. No goal” or at most they’ll add “yellow card to #17.” Like Jim said, it doesn’t add much because they’re doing the signals along with it, so it’s providing no more information than before. Plus, I’m not sure how much practice they did with it, because most of them seem to be screaming into the mic, which is the opposite of what you’re supposed to do. So now we’re getting bad audio from (in some cases visibly nervous) officials in their second (or third or fourth) language and it’s causing more communication issues than just making a square and pointing.
 
Not a great night for Liga MX as Philly is beating Queretaro 4-0 and New England is beating San Luis 5-1.
 
Frustrating half. Controlled the ball for much of it but the Dutch get one on a counter. Chemistry just doesn't seem to be there right now among the forwards.
 
Can't script that. Horan gets injured by her club teammate, gets into a yelling match with her, and then heads in the corner on the very next play. 1-1 with 30 to go.
 
And Nigeria pulls it off and now sets atop Group B.

They can now advance with just a draw against Ireland. Canada can advance with just a draw as well. Potentially both co-hosts could be out of the tournament in the group stage.
 
South Africa looked well on their way to a win last night, but then Argentina came back with two in the final 15 minutes to force a 2-2 draw. It included this golazo by Sophia Braun.

edit: ok I guess we can’t link to Twitter. It was a cool goal, trust me.

England is in a good, but not secured spot, to advance after beating Denmark 1-0.

And poor Haiti, lose another one 1-0 on a penalty. China went down to 10 only 20 minutes into the game, but scored on a penalty after an overturned offsides.

If I’m correct with my math here, a 1-0 win for China over England and a 1-0 win for Denmark over Haiti in the next games would make it a three way tie for the group, and since the three tied teams would all be 1-1 against each other it would go to fair play points. China is currently on the wrong side of that with 4 because of the red card, England has 2 and Denmark 1.

Twitter changed awhile ago to where only if you are logged in can you see/use a link to a tweet.

But usually it would allow you to click into the site before telling you to log in. This seems to be more on the USCHO side of censoring Twitter’s address.

Example (this is Twitter dot com)
Twitter.com
 
China gets away with a blatant foul in the box in the 99th minute, preventing Haiti from having a chance to tie the match with a PK and hang onto win 1-0.

Is there a clip available?

Also, 90+9’. 99th minute occurs only in overtime.
