Spain won the 2023 Women’s World Cup

[-] Zemvos@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Great tournament overall, has been really fun to follow from Australia.

England outclassed today. Congrats Spain 👏

What a match. Really, really entertaining

How did the 2nd half warrant a crazy 15 minutes of overtime? FIFA is getting really obvious with their corruption lately. Spain should file an official complaint.

A head injury. 5 mins plus to review a VAR decision, Spain time wasting in the 90 minutes , 13 minutes as justified under the new rules.

It has nothing to do with corruption and all teams were aware of the changes to the addon times.

Nobody who’s not an England fan will see it that way.

[-] Elroy_Berdahl@feddit.uk 12 points 10 months ago

I mean they will if they have any understanding of the rules

[+] suction@lemmy.world -10 points 10 months ago

That’s because you’re not neutral. Sure, please point me to the rule saying a five minute medical break warrants 13 minutes of added time, which get then another 3 minutes added for 16 total minutes. 16!!! That’s not in any sane way explicable other than FIFA wanted England to win.

I’m so glad Spain won it, if this undeserving English team had turned around the match it would have been a massive blow to the popularity of women’s football around the world.

Medical 5 mins + VAR & penalty 5 mins + 4 subs + other shorter medicals + time wasting.

Give it a rest.

That’s not a rule but the opinion of FIFA, guvna.

If FIFA referees don't use the opinions, guidelines, and rule set from FIFA then what do they use? Make up their own rules on the day? Murder is wrong is an opinion, the law is just made up by people.

[-] suction@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago

I’m not the one saying there’s a rule for 16 overtime when maybe 5 were warranted. Of course it’s subjective whatever the fourth official gets told to do by the bald Qatari.

[-] e-ratic@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

Fair enough, if you think there was only 5 minutes when the ball was out of the play then I don't really know what else can be said.

[-] suction@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

We all know if it had been 3:0 after 90 minutes, the overtime would have been a reasonable 5 minutes. FIFA wanted 13 so they could hope for more drama if there had been a goal by England. The 1:0 gave them ideas.

And it’s worrisome that normal people come to FIFA’s defense here, as if it’s not common knowledge that they force the officials to make matches “more exciting”.

[-] theinspectorst@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Those are the rules. 10+ minutes of injury time were pretty common at the men's World Cup last year, even without interruptions for head injuries.

It sounds like you may have really wanted England to lose and so you're interpreting things through that lens.

Frankly the only person who would see it your way along with your other comments, is someone who so despises England they'd be arguing for the full time after Spain scored.
