When In Rome

No way was that a penalty. The referee did the right thing and made the decision there and then.
In the early stages of this World Cup the poorer referees were relying too much on VAR and some decisions took ages to be made and were still wrong. Hence why we routinely saw 7mins plus of added time.
The USA player had her arm by her side and could do nothing about the ball being fired straight at her.
Spot on. By that time the French were so desperate they were appealing for anything. I did want them to win so I could revel in us beating them but I'm glad the right decision was made on the penalty appeal.
