France 2-1 Norway: Women's World Cup – As It Happened | Soccer

The report of tonight's match of Suzanne Wrack in Nice …

A controversial VAR penalty means France is about to qualify for Group A. They have six points in their first two games and need only one point to be sure of their clash with Nigeria on Monday. Norway, who face South Korea in their last match, is tied with Nigeria in three points. That's all for me tonight. Thank you for reading and sending an email. Goodbye.

90 min + 1: Boe Risa gives way to Maanum. There will be four more minutes.

90 min: "The penalty was not severe," says Jan Schreuder. "It was wrong, the Norwegian player hit the ball, the French player was late, that's why she was hit, she should have gone out, mistakes can be made, but that decision is ridiculous after watched the VAR I do not have skin in the game, except that I'm in favor of the VAR and that makes it ridiculous. "

88 min: Cascarino sneaks into the area from the right, but his cross escapes everyone.

80 min: The general opinion is that the sentence imposed on France was very severe. It's probably ok, although I was convinced that they would get it as soon as the referee went to check the screen.

78 min: "After seeing the result of VAR, I vowed to NEVER watch another match," says Stephen Scriven.

74 min: I doubt that the former deputy director of Wales is enjoying his evening.

After a long wait, Le Sommer keeps his cool and imposes a slight penalty in the corner on the right. Hjelmseth is going in the right direction but she is beaten by rhythm and precision.

71 min: This was not intentional, but Engen caught up with Torrent and France was given a VAR penalty. Norway fulminate.

70 min: It may be a fault of Engen, who caught Torrent on the thigh with a wild momentum, although she took the ball first.

69 min: VAR! VAR! VAR! They seek a penalty for France after a possible foul on Torrent. It could have been Engen's fault.

68 min: There are some whistles from the crowd. The inconvenience caused by the loss of time in Norway. "During the Germany-Spain match earlier in the day, a Spanish player became mysteriously undecided in his own six-yard box, thus contributing to Germany's victory," said Peter Oh. "Now, a French star has invented another bizarre scene in this small space. This is the day of the Six Yard Box Twilight Zone. "

66 min: Fight! Fight! Fight! "I wonder if Mr. Lilley really read my comment?" Says Alan Kirkup. "I was at Old Trafford when Denis Law scored for Man City (a nice rear wheel) to knock United down. I suggest that he's looking for the video. The clbad does not have bad.

64 min: This goal counterbalanced the sails of France. "To answer the question, how much is enough?" Says David Farrelly. "Football could be done with an injection of mathematics, just as the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method is used in ODI cricket. You can use a simple Gaussian (normal distribution), the maximum of which corresponds to the current average number of goals scored (in a league or a competition, for example) and whose width is set with the help of the gap. -type. Depending on the current state of the game in the cast, the level of celebration can be described as "over the top", "peak" and "dumb", with possibly subcategories. "

58 min: Renard means "fox" in French. It was a real Francis Jeffers of a finish.

57 min: France breaks with Thiney in the lead. Its pbad is deviated in the Gauvin trail, which loop directly to Hjelmseth at 18 meters.

This is an absolute Djimi Traoré of Renard. Hervolsen falls to the left and places a cross in the penalty area. Unfortunately, no Norwegian striker is there. Fortunately, Renard is. France's defender carefully hits the ball in the bottom six-meter corner. What a finish. You can not be too careful in these positions.

53 min: Henry dances left but his center is led by Gauvin.

52 min: "Seriously, Mr. Kirkup?" Said Jeffrey Lilley. "Nobody is worried about the unbalanced results of the men's match. As long as the goal differential is one of the decisive points, expect the teams to score as much as they can. If the game now has to focus on "sportsmanship" and not detract from your opponent's feelings, I suggest that the game be played until the first goal is scored. So, if a team scores in the first minute, so be it. If they score at the 47, 88 or 120 minute, so be it. Shots on goal would be handled normally after 2 extras. In this way, the score is always 1-0 or 0-0 (Team X on penalties) so everyone looks good and no one is sad. Seriously? They are all professionals. They can cope with an imbalanced loss. Do not try to place the rules of the game for children in a professional competition, and do not criticize women when you do not criticize men. "

48 min: "Thirteen goals," says Joshua Reynolds. "It makes me wonder how many celebrations should have been stopped. Would the receivers receive if they had just come back stoically after scoring the fifth goal? The eighth? Where exactly is this line where you celebrate too much?

Le Sommer feeds Majri on the left. It does not take much time to bad a center and Gauvin is more alert than Thorisdottir, which allows him to score a low shot for Hjelmseth. Gauvin, who has had some problems off the field, is delighted.

None of the two guards had to make a serious stop. See you in 15 minutes.
