Putting the Copa America to shame

It is. Some exciting games on show. Also... some fine looking ladies on show.

Powell attacks 'cowardly' players and considers her England future - International, Football - The Independent

"Three times I had to ask [for volunteers] before anyone stepped forward. 'Where are you?' I was thinking, and then a young kid is the first to put her hand up. And Kelly Smith was dying on her feet but she stepped up and took one. You've got to want to take a penalty, but other players should have come forward and they didn't. That's weak, it's cowardice."

I haven't watched a lot of the games but seen a few. Some really good football being played. One thing that has irritated me is the penalty's. Well just the officials and the keepers. Isn't the linesman/woman supposed to watch and make sure the keeper doesn't leave her line before the penalty is taken. Well I have noticed the keepers leaving their line and by quite a bit yet the linesman/woman doesn't do a thing. It just annoys me.

Other than that the women's World Cup has been pretty good.

Haven't a number of penalties been retaken? It often happens in the men's game too that the officials don't see it.

 

[G7SEV]

They need to be docked pay if they can't see it. That is all they have to do it watch their feet. Yea penalty's have been retaken but watching the penalty's in the women's World Cup there has been more than one time where the goalkeeper is way off the line and it hasn't been pulled up. It just annoys me.
