Getting the ball still doesn't allow you to clean your boots on someone's thigh/knee.
I never seen such a horrible call... it's really infuriating that it was still called after the video review... This just makes me not want to watch this Tournament anymore, takes the wind out of my sails... And I don't even have a dog in this fight (match)
Why it wasn't...
1) The ball was loose, meaning, it wasn't in the possession of the French player, it was just rolling in neutral ground
2) The Norwegian defender had a good piece on it and kicked it away and only...
3) through the follow through, she made unintentional contact with the french player....
No way in hell that's a penalty, just because she got hurt and she was in the way of her kick, come the fuck on!!!
I don't like these calls either, but if you saw Spain vs South Africa, it seems to be some sort of a recommendation.I never seen such a horrible call... it's really infuriating that it was still called after the video review...

Oh shit, checked points, yeah, they could steal the 2
WRONG!,,in the way of the kick" ^^
it was dangerous play and she made contact with her leg. Penalty.
An excuse ? It's literally the rule lmao.At least I am explaining why it wasn't, Can someone explain why it was? and "dangerous play" is a sad excuse here.
1. Direct free kick
A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:
• charges
• jumps at
• kicks or attempts to kick
• pushes
• strikes or attempts to strike (including head-butt)
• tackles or challenges
• trips or attempts to trip
If an offence involves contact it is penalised by a direct free kick or penalty kick.
• Careless is when a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or acts without precaution. No disciplinary sanction is needed
• Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned
• Using excessive force is when a player exceeds the necessary use of force and/or endangers the safety of an opponent and must be sent off
WRONG!
Not every physical contact in this sport is a foul, and of course there are lots of dangerous plays where players get badly hurt, but there isn't an apparent foul.
Just see any corner kick or long pass where an attacker jumps for the ball , ends up unintentionally colliding with the goalie or a defender, where one of them usually gets elbowed in the jaw etc. usually those aren't called fouls, but they are very dangerous plays and they're sure very physical. this scenario wasn't much different from the example I just gave.
First thing you look at in a review of a foul in this sport is intention of the foul committer. Did he or she intend to tackle, kick or hurt the opponent?
The answer to this is 99% of the time, yes, they did.
And their intention was usually bad, ill fated, they wanted to stop the attacker rather than make any kind of effort to steal the ball.
That's what you call a foul, when .. "Was goign for the ball, instead took out the legs didn't even touch the ball or barely grazed it."
That was not the case here.
1) the Frenchwoman did not even have the ball to begin with, it was not in her possession, she was racing for it.
2)The Norwegian got to it before she did, and she had intentions of booting the ball ( clearing it out of danger)
Did she succeed in kicking the ball? Yes, she got a piece of it and cleared it, She had good intentions, and none of them involved hurting, kicking her opponent.
3) Only after kicking the ball, the follow through made contact with an oncoming player who was also going for the ball.
Sorry but that's not a foul.

Should then have booked the french player as well for coming in two footed studs first.
But the french player played dangerously first, which created the situation, and which was not shown in the var loop for the ref
luckily South Korea only plays defenseSucks. But a decent effort. And we'll beat South Korea. But Thorisdottir makes too many critical mistakes.
10 minutes of Brazil / Australia might already be the best quality of football I've seen so far.
