If the referee actually explains the decision like the one in the Netherlands game currently being played, it's a good idea. But if all they say is "penalty" or "goal", it's pointless. But as soon as they say the word penalty, anything else/explanation is drowned out by demented screaming anyway? I'll watch the highlights later in the Dutch game. The penalty that had to be retaken yesterday, she explained that the gk moved off her line, infringement or something, but it can all be done on the screen, and they're still doing that awful 3d thing with the offside where they remove every single player apart from off/onside and whoever was closest to playing them on/off. I much prefer our lines and seeing the full picture They need to learn from the NFL officials in terms of the way they explain a ruling. They give the explanation then finish with the outcome. Example: "The receiver caught the ball and came down with both feet in bounds. The result of the play is a first down." So a football example might be: "The Netherlands no.6 was in an offside position but was not deemed to be interfering with play. Therefore, it is a goal."

2019 runners-up Netherlands start with a narrow win over Portugal through a first half goal that was initially ruled out for offside but awarded by VAR. All six debutants that have played so far have lost. We still have Morocco and Panama to come.

Record of debutants in this tournament so far: Played 8 Lost 8 Scored 0 Conceded 23 Comparison with the 4 debutants in 2019. After their opening games, their record was: Played 4 Lost 4 Scored 2 Conceded 12 They ultimately finished: Played 12 Won 1 Drew 1 Lost 10 Scored 9 Conceded 32 South Africa and Jamaica lost every game. Chile best Thailand (who were by far the worst team at the tournament) and Scotland drew with Argentina. Given the debutants struggled at the last tournament with 24 teams, you have to question whether it was wise to expand the competition to 32 teams so soon.

Teenage star Linda Caicedo was on the scoresheet as Colombia started with a win against South Korea. Casey Phair came on as a second half substitute for the Koreans, becoming the youngest player to feature at a Women's World Cup, aged 16 years and 26 days.

Philippines became the first debutants at this year's tournament to score a goal and managed to beat co-hosts New Zealand in the process. Sarina Bolden's header was enough to beat the Black Ferns and give the rank outsiders a chance of progressing to the last 16. 1995 winners Norway are in real danger of a shock first round elimination after being held to a goalless draw by Switzerland. Norway, who lost star player Ada Hegerberg to injury in the warm-up, must beat Philippines to stand any chance of progressing.

I'm enjoying the highlights, because I couldn't sit through these games, but NZ scored a goal which was ruled out for offside, but we never saw any var evidence to back it up as the still the BBC showed it didn't look offside. Also the handball penalty given against the South Korean where her arm was near her side, where's her arm supposed to go? Good to see them getting some VAR decisions wrong, just like the men's game.

Comfortable wins mean Spain and Japan are the first teams through to Round 2 and Costa Rica and Zambia are the first teams eliminated.

Ireland are eliminated after a narrow defeat against Canada. Ireland took a 4th minute lead when Katie McCabe scored directly from a corner but the Olympic champions equalised through an own goal right on half time. Canada then went ahead early in the 2nd half to seal the points.

Nigeria pull off the shock of the tournament, beating Australia and moving to within a point of progressing to the knockout stages. Australia will desperately be hoping striker Sam Kerr is back for their crucial clash with Canada. Unless Nigeria lose to Ireland, either Canada or Australia will be going out at the first hurdle.

USA and Netherlands met in a repeat of the 2019 final. The Dutch went ahead through Jill Roord on 17 minutes but after a ton of American pressure, Lindsay Horan headed home a corner to level the scores. Portugal had a comfortable win over Vietnam though they'd have been frustrated not to have won by more. The vital victory sets up a winner-takes-all clash against the USA, while Netherlands should progress unless they suffer a shock defeat against Vietnam, who are eliminated after today's loss.
