Stupid new rules are ruining the game. Pointless tinkering.
I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere but this enforcement of the rule that the goalkeeper must keep one foot on the line until the ball is stuck seems like something deliberately being targeted by officials, which in turn means it will be a directive from FIFA. The precedent was set with the France penalty and so as a consequence goalkeepers have to be aware that it will be reviewed going forward!!! Over here the panel slammed the Scottish coach for the tactics they employed and for the fact that someone wasn't reminding the keeper not to leave her line!!
Heartbreaking for the Scottish ladies but the damage was done before the penalty, they just imploded as a team!! You could see how distraught many of them were afterwards, sad to see but they couldn't hold that lead in the end.
