    Great tournament overall, has been really fun to follow from Australia.

    England outclassed today. Congrats Spain 👏

    How did the 2nd half warrant a crazy 15 minutes of overtime? FIFA is getting really obvious with their corruption lately. Spain should file an official complaint.

      A head injury. 5 mins plus to review a VAR decision, Spain time wasting in the 90 minutes , 13 minutes as justified under the new rules.

      It has nothing to do with corruption and all teams were aware of the changes to the addon times.

            That’s because you’re not neutral. Sure, please point me to the rule saying a five minute medical break warrants 13 minutes of added time, which get then another 3 minutes added for 16 total minutes. 16!!! That’s not in any sane way explicable other than FIFA wanted England to win.

            I’m so glad Spain won it, if this undeserving English team had turned around the match it would have been a massive blow to the popularity of women’s football around the world.

              Medical 5 mins + VAR & penalty 5 mins + 4 subs + other shorter medicals + time wasting.

              Give it a rest.

                  If FIFA referees don’t use the opinions, guidelines, and rule set from FIFA then what do they use? Make up their own rules on the day? Murder is wrong is an opinion, the law is just made up by people.

                The men’s World Cup was also subject to heavy “scripting” by FIFA through the referees. You give FIFA way too much credit, there’s just no way 16 minutes of overtime are reasonable in a WC final at 1:0

                Also I was sort of rooting for England, they are so poor now and their country is going down the drain, this World Cup win would have given them hope and a way to be a little proud again, even if just for a short while…

                  How is it ‘scripting’ when most of the games have tonnes of injury time? This is how they’re applying the injury time consistently to address the problem of time wasting etc at World Cups. They’ve been very transparent about this.

                  They’re taking the same approach in Premier League and EFL games this season. Sheffield Wednesday vs Southampton the other week had 15 minutes of injury time too.

                  Just accept you made a ludicrous argument and were wrong.

          Frankly the only person who would see it your way along with your other comments, is someone who so despises England they’d be arguing for the full time after Spain scored.
