    Well no, in the same way that if ‘insert random 200 ranked male tennis player,’ beat Serena Williams, it wouldn’t mean he was a better standard of player than her, it just means he has a biological advantage, and hence why the majority of sports at elite level are split by Sex. 

    It would also mean that he was better

    Did you sit and watch Jess Ennis win gold in 2012 saying "Daley Thompson would hump her"? Or Liz McGolgan, back in her heyday, saying "guys who can run faster than her would run faster than her"?

    Apart from tennis occasionally, nobody talks like this about any sport other than football. It's tedious, and nothing more than a show of the fragile masculinity that's all too common among male football fans.

    It's just running

    That's why there are no comparisons

    Footballs a wee bit different

    If the ‘keeper coming off her line warrants a VAR review then the substitute situation should have, too, IMO. There must be a much greater advantage to a team having their substitute barely enter the pitch thus not being ready to defend a free-kick than the goalkeeper is gaining by being 3 inches off her line.

     

     

    EDIT: VAR at all if it was up to me, but if they insist on using it then the substitute scenario is and was far more important than the ‘keeper being slightly off her line.

    What about any player who takes a tumble under slightest contact

    Tonnes of players are at it nowadays, lose possession, take a tumble.  Got possession high up pitch want to time waste, take a tumble

    The ref stopped play for the penalty in something like the 86th minute. There was barely another 30 seconds of football played afterwards - if I remember correctly, we kicked off, won a free-kick, launched it into the box, the ref gave a foul on the keeper, that free-kick was taken and the final whistle went.

    Both sets of players were robbed of at least 4 minutes, but probably more like 8 or 9.

    We would probably have conceded another goal

    After having scored one ourselves

    That would fit our usual narrative

    I kind of agree with this.

    But we still shat the bed good and proper. Defending at that first Argentinian goal was abysmal and then you've got a howler from the keeper and a silly lunge in the box.

    Argentina really started to play but we didn't do enough to kill the game.

    Throw in the aforementioned shitey refereeing (be it incompetence or stupid law changes/implementation) and you have a hellish night for Scottish sport.

    A total shit-storm.

    We have to hold our head up and take it though, as has been mentioned if England went out in similar circumstances we'd be absolutely pissing ourselves.

    We did what we always do

    Find new interesting and always unfair ways to blow it

    This.

    Way back in my playing days I was goalkeeper in a game which went to a penalty shootout. The referee; who'd been a wee bedwetter throughout the entire game, decided he was going to enforce the "Goalkeeper must stay on his line until the ball has been kicked" rule. Of course the penalty takers simply hoofed it into the corners ever time and there was nothing I or my counterpart could do. It went to something like 11-11 before one of our players knocked it outside the post. Allowing the keeper to move one foot off the line is going to be marginally better than that, but it will still be pretty much impossible to save a penalty unless the taker makes an error. When it comes to the smaller women, the referee might as well just award a goal and be done with it.

    It's not possible to save a penalty unless you take a step as it's about to be hit

    Guess a side and hope you're lucky

    Taking a step just got turned a blind eye

    Running out to the six yard box didn't

    Just side foot roll in the corners now, it will never end

    First sentence .....pish

    Second sentence........pish as well. Of course it’s possible to dive to either side , rather than forward.  Even if your second comment was correct , though, it’s up to the goalie to make sure that he or she doesn’t move forward BEFORE the ball’s kicked

     

    You've never played in nets clearly

    Two teams desperate to score, in order to qualify for the next round, with 3+ minutes remaining on the clock and the idiot b*****d ref stops  the game. 

    She should not referee another.

    There was prob already going to be between 3-5 mins injury time, always is

    Then pen took 9 mins

    There should have been at least 12 mins extra played

    She jumped off her line forward and into the air. It's clear in the shot from behind the goal... As soon as she lacks a foot on the line, and has gone forward of it, you're now in retake territory.

    Every penalty saved, will now be retaken until it is scored

    It's not possible to move without taking a step forward to propel of the foot

    Everyone knew it, it was just one of those unwritten things in the game
