Commenting on footballers' behaviour during matches is either fair game or it's not. Whether you agree with the behaviour or not is irrelevant.

Nice try, but no.

Minimize what? The backpass that was clearly an indirect? England’s goal that was clearly on? Cameroon’s goal that was off as per the laws of the game (Sterling’s goal was just as close a call which kept MC out of a CL semi)? Or are you talking about something unrelated?

Dont minimize it

So much for all the hand-wringing about policing women’s behavior.

If Brazil loses it will be because of their keeper. Been a liability the whole tournament.

Now I’m not an expert on reading lips, but I’m pretty sure that was a “what the f...” to the ref.....

Marta is hilarious playing with that red lipstick.

France goal called back after VAR review for unknown reasons. And the refereeing has been really terrible today.

Echoes of Argentina at the 1966 WC in that one.

Deliberate elbowing of a player

Crying and pouting.

Were you watching the Spanish-language broadcast? The English-language broadcasters certainly said a lot about it.

At the end they did. The English coach unleashed and said it best. How fuc@ing nasty is it to have a gob of snot spit on you from the mouth of an opposing player. Or a nose breaking elbow purposely slammed into your face. Pushing the ref and flagrant fouls galore. Shameful.

Will this get the same amount of attention? Nope.
