I think she was probably offside. The angle was tough.

The South Korea goalie is too small and slow.

VAR offsides are a load of balls. If she’d worn a size smaller boot, that would have been a goal.
Off side should be whether the player is bodily the other side of the last man, not the end of their toe.
Applies to both genders of the game.

But it isn't. I don't like VAR but that's the offside law. Any part of the body that you can score with. So everything bar arms and hands.

The camera angles were poor, but I think she was more offside than it initially looked.

A totally one-sided no contest. France look fit and fast with a few players with skill. They just can't make decisions.

The big French defender looks like a Caster Semenya situation.

The French look disciplined, efficient and fast. Impressed by Le Sommer, Cascarino, Renard and Henry in particular. I don’t think they’ll have any problems getting out of the group.

South Korea looked like they have technical skill, but very lacking in confidence, disorganised, very disappointing. Last ten minutes or so, when they actually had a couple of half hearted attempts on goal. Showed they could at least get in to a position to shoot, but all a bit too late by then.

Just checking the prices tickets start from only €9. The 30k capacity stadium still only looks half full just now. It's near silent most of the time too.

Not much happening on the park to get excited about. It's just too slow again and they just lack composure to make a decision.

I don't know how they can bang on about equality and equal pay when it is this inferior. If you can only half fill stadiums at €9 on a nice Saturday afternoon you really can't pretend to have remotely the same pulling power.

Just watching a few minutes of Germany v China out of interest, I think I’d rather have teeth pulled, plus they’ve got that bloody awful female commentator they had on the last men’s World Cup. smash in the words of Duncan, ammmmm ooooot.

I'd imagine Scotland v England will get a good amount of viewers. I can't see millions tuning in too often for this.

Why is there zero spectators at the W Series race?

A bit of atmosphere this time. A shame to see so many empty seats.

A bit more space about the game so far compared to other games.

VAR again!!!.

The touch on the arm hardly made any difference to the flight of the ball.

Yes, she is doing well but sadly I think it's only a matter of time until ENG get another goal.

Edit: it just went in the second I hit "Submit" frown
