That Chinese free kick sums up my luck in FIFA 15
Karsten Binkley CTC
It`s never a penalty. The Canadian girl ran into the arm of the Chinese defender.
No just no
Bård H you cant have your arm up that high on another player thats an easy call if her arm was against the canadian players side it would be clean but it wasnt, she was elbowing her in the jaw..
If you run into my arm it`s not my fault. If that`s a penalty, there`s at least 10 penalties in most matches.
Bård H arm is at her face level. Footy is a legs sports. Arms are a no no. You can't push, put your hands on players, tag shirts, or raise them up high to block players
Bård H She didn't run into the arm. She ran for the ball and the Chinese player VERY clearly moved to cut the player off rather then playing the ball. The fact that she went to block the Canadian player from getting the ball by throwing her arm up to head height is so VERY clearly a penalty.
Agree...that Chinese Free kick was very impressive.It hit the Cross bar, and then, the post.
mshayashi the tekkers.. but it would be better had it went in
It's hard to call a penalty shot in the dying minutes of the game, but the Chinese player was very clearly doing what she shouldn't be and the Canadian player played it up. Looking at the end game stats it's clear Canada was the one controlling the match so I'm not sour about the way it ended.
Wrosgar isn't that type of foul rewarded with an indirect free kick instead?
Art Vandalay I'm not 100% up on the rules, but I'm pretty sure in that position in the box a penalty shot is the only option.
***** Yeah you're both right, IFK I think would be if there's no contact
Art Vandalay Absolutely not. Indirects are used for technical violations (offsides, general dangerous play / high foot, etc.), when there is contact made, it MUST be a Direct Kick. Any D.K. violation in the box MUST be a Penalty. There is a bit of wiggle room at let's say the 17.5 yard mark (in the 18 yard Penalty Box) to "say" that contact was "initiated" outside the box, so a DK would not be a Penalty - clearly not an option here.
The player had her arms in an unnatural position restricting the players ability to get the ball (Obstruction, Indirect Kick), but made significant and intentional contact with the head and neck of the player -> therefore Direct -> therefore PK.
Referee was in great position, and made an instant and 100% correct call.
***** There are several in-game offenses that can result in an Indirect in the box:
Pass-back to the goaltender (who uses their hands)
Obstruction (which that could have been if the contact didn't trump this lesser offense)
Dangerous play / high foot (without contact)
That free kick by the Chinese wow
The referee was spot on with the use of excessive force of the arm across the neck of the defender forcing the player to the ground. PENALTY.
That penalty was placed to perfection
Mohamad Idzham Bin Mohamad Faizul At least it was put on a right place, not like the joking decision of Nishimura in Brasil last year.
Wow, the Canadian player faked the fall and got the penalty kick and won the game. What a shame.
FAKED!? AHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA
Singsong Wind I think not. It is obiviously your fault. Don't compare it to Brazil's opening match in 2014 WC.
She got a pretty solid arm to the face so I wouldn't call it a fake. I've seen plenty of dudes go down with far less contact.
Singsong Wind ...I believe it was more about the elbow to the face...
fenrriho It`s an elbow to the face because the Canadian girl runs her face into the elbow. Besides, the arm is straight, there`s absolutely no intent involved.
The referees remind me a lot of fifa 15. Even match all game that in the 90+ min a pen comes from nowhere
Saint Germain Says a guy who clearly has never officiated a game in their life. That's a PK 24/7.
The Chinese team did really good
xavier church They did good, I agree, but look at how many opportunities the canadian team lost!
They really played well in this game although I’m not a big fan of teams that park the bus from the start.
I guess they respect Sinclair that much ...
I am not chinese but I think that should have not been a penalty. She barely touched her and she fell by herself. Canada is really lucky.
But Canada played better
daniel lee Dude, Canada lost so many opportunities... It should have been 5-0 if it wasn't for the good goalkeeper China had
What a great penalty shot from Sinclair, the keeper had no chance of getting that save.
If china were the host, that call could've been a dive + a yellow card. Good job making fair play work FIFA. I'm so impressed.
The Canadian girl is a good actor who should be rewarded the best actress of Oscar.
I know right? XD It looks like the Canadian girl just ran into the Chinese defender's arm and then fell on purpose =_=
I agree!
Wtf, umm no your so wrong, if you actually played soccer then you would know that she wouldn't just run in like that on purpose, the dumb Chinese player just doesn't know how to play and apparently she doesn't know that she did something that would give away a penalty to Canada ( THE BEST TEAM EVER) and it was Sinclair who took it and we all knew she's just 👌🏼 and we all knew it would go in , so u really don't play soccer eh?
Kristina Bati THE BEST TEAM EVER just lost its match. Canada is just at the same level of China.
No they aren't, Canada is a way better team then China , did u not see how many chances Canada had ? And then there's China who barely had 1 or 2 chances getting to the net because Canada's defence is to strong for them to just go through, Canada has one of the best defenders in the whole World Cup, and she's only 19
It is normal for the defenders to open armers when playing defending, in fact, the Chinese defender opened her arm BEFORE the Canadian player rushed into the ball; so basically, it is not the arm hit the neck rather it is the neck jump into the arm and fall down. If the Chinese defender moved one step left, then it would be perfect block, but she didn't do that. I won't say the referee was "bad" or "bribed", it happened too fast, however, usually 9 out of 10 referee will be very cautious and not call it a penalty.
qiansu2001 Then 9 out of 10 would be completely wrong. Fortunately you have your ratio reversed to reality.
LOL the ball hit the crossbar so much times in this match, It was like they were doing the "Crossbar Challenge". I was at the match, Canada really deserved to win. GO CANADA GO! Good Luck at 2019 Womens World Cup France and 2020 Toyko Olympics!
The Chinese goalkeeper is very good. And pretty :)
bilou027
I thought the same...very beautiful...(^^) I hope to see her in the Knock-out stages also. By the way, her name is Wang Fei, 25-year-old, 179cm tall...(^.^)
mshayashi go to register a Chinese Weibo and you can follow her. :)
bilou027
I wish in the next matches, FIFA does more close-ups on her...(^^)
JohniG Giaynakoff
Ah, the Volleyball player from Uzbekistan, right? Yeah, I've seen her...very cute, very beautiful girl.
mshayashi as tall as Hope Solo then
Keep up the highlight video for all the tournaments FIFA. We love 'em! Great stuff!!
GO CANADA GO!!!!:)
Thank you very much for uploading the match...
I live close to this stadium but I didn't get to go (because the tickets were sold out). When the game was going I was walking around the stadium and it was REALLY loud. I had to take my dog home but I kept walking. It also stormed there.
FIFA World Cup soccer Edmonton AB Canada
That was a controversial penalty
Ackim Mpofu Only to people who don't know the rules.
How was that ball a threat to the goal and the other thing is she was not facing the goal when they blew the whistle for a penalty so basically she wasn't a threat to the goal. All Iam its not a clear penalty hence controversial.
Ackim Mpofu "How was that ball a threat to the goal"
The ball was in the box when it was crossed back into the middle, and remained in the box during the violation. That is absolutely a threat to the goal. Beyond that, goal scoring danger is irrelevant to the call. The foul occurred in the box. There can be no debate about this (right?). Because it was a contact foul, it is a direct kick. There can be no debate about this (right?). Because it's a direct kick foul taking place in the penalty box, it is a penalty shot. There can be no debate about this (right?). These are the rules.
"and the other thing is she was not facing the goal when they blew the whistle for a penalty so
basically she wasn't a threat to the goal. All I am its not a clear penalty hence controversial."
As stated above, the eye-direction of the player is irrelevant. ALL that matters is the location of the foul. So there are two choices for two scenarios:
If there is NO contact: Obstruction (Indirect free kick), or No Call. Surely no-call based on the game time and score, and you're right, lack of DIRECT threat at the goal.
If there IS contact: Penalty kick or No-Call. Given that the arms were in an "unnatural position" (this term being addressed in an earlier follow-up), and used in a manner that was not purposed towards getting the ball, but at stopping the Canadian from getting it, there simply couldn't be "No Call".
Ackim Mpofu It doesn't matter if she faced the goal or not, or was it a threat or not. If their is a foul inside the box then it's a penalty.
@@ackimmpofu9918 A foul in the box is a penalty, period.
It's always unsatisfying to win as a result of a penalty and always unfortunate for the other team to lose because of it. However, that did seem like a pretty clear penalty.
Referees should be also penalized for such a poor judgement. A gift for the Canada! Although, the penalty's execution was excellent!
I was lucky enough to have attended this game.
Grew up with this game. Played and later coached for number of years.
1. Ref was right there to see what happened
2. Canadian player was elbowed and thrown to the ground
3. So called game obstruction by Chinese player inside of box (fault)= penalty. Simple as that. Stats say who was a better team. Nice free kick by China though. Fortune always has to choose the side :-). Bunch of us is coming from Ottawa to the game vs. Netherland in Montreal next Monday. Go Canada !
It's exactly reminded me back to Brazil last year. Canada played like Brazil when they battled against China. The difference was the penalty kick is a right decision.
Awesome game and really glad to see them kickass!
Awesome job ladies we are all so proud of you!!!
All you need to do is to hide under the defense player's arm and fall. Because no physical contact is allowed.
wei wang all you need to do is not raise your arms above the opponent's shoulder in the penalty box. 99.9% you will get called a penalty. chinese would do the same to the canadians. it's fair game.
***** that is just not nice.
***** whatever you say
That's how you take a PK. Hard and off the post. The goalie guessed right and still couldn't get to it.
What a great start start to Canada
Norway is a real team. They pass and shoot well and are very skilled. A team worth watching even though they were playing Thailand.
Football should be reformed, if you hit the post you score, if you hit both posts in one shot you score two goals.
good amount of people in the stands compared to other games
1:41
a little bit scared right now...watch out shes comin for you
1:32 What a dive.
Went to high school with Christine Sinclair. She won so close to $250,000 in scholarships by the end of grade 12. High school won so many soccer tourneys because of her.
How close was that Free kick. Awesome
The ref shouldn't gave the penality
This is more exciting than the male version
Chinese goalkeeper was absolutely amazing
Excelente cobro de Tiro libre, una pena que no haya entrado.
That freekick tho
Congratulations Canada from your cousins in the USA. Go Canada!
WOHOO CANADA!
The ref won the game,, gg
Go Canada! Best women in the world!
Even though China's goalkeeper didn't catch the Penalty Kick, my impression is that she's very good. She almost caught the well shot kick.
Don't like the penalty call, but perfect placement on the PK
The Chinese free kick would be a top 10 goal of the tournament if it went in
The Canadian penalty call was debatable until they show the replay, which makes it a clear foul and the penalty couldn't get any better than that.
Nice diving
No worries, Canada is gonna win the World Cup. Positive people.
It wasn't penalty. Please fair play.
Let me explain that penalty kick call at the end.
If two opposing players are going to head a goal kick (a 50/50 ball), and one contacts the others head with their arm (impeding), then it is always called as a foul. If the contact was shoulder to shoulder then it is no foul, but the contact was arm to head. Those that think it was head to arm are delusional, the Chinese player knew where the Canadian forward was and was trying to shield her from the ball. You cannot shield the ball by contacting an opponents head, it's a foul every time.
The referee was in an excellent, unobstructed position to make the call and I'm certain she knows more about the rules of football than the closet hacks commenting on how bad a call it was. Whether the Canadian went down too easily is besides the point, the original contact was still a foul.
BTW, the non-call in the NZ/Dutch game was not correct and was an even more glaring penalty than this one was.
I'm sorry, if I stand in the middle of the field and you run into my arm and fall, is that still a penalty? I knew exactly where you were.
Brandon Chen If we're standing in a field and we both run forward and you clothesline me, then yes it is still a penalty. ESPECIALLY in the box
Brandon Chen Yeah and the chinese player had her arm outstretched for balance LOL If you slow down the video you see the Chinese player change direction and move to block the Canadian player while the ball was moving in the opposite direction away from her. Excuse the Canadian player for wanting to move towards the direction of the ball in play. This is not US football you are not supposed to "play the man" you are supposed to play the ball which she obviously was not that interested in doing. Pretty funny you want to talk about bad penalty no complaints from you about the earlier BS penalty shots given to china. In one case the Chinese played was just out run to the ball, but fell down, no elbow arms or anything need Chinese player, player falls, cue the drama classes and penalty kick for china.
Sid Hawkes lmao. Low blows. We are not talking about the "flop" you saw. We are talking about the penalty foul.
1.you can use your arms to block an opponent as long as you have NO force towards the body or face (which was clearly the play)
2. The Chinese player did not change direction until the Canadian player hit her arm.
3. If the plan of the Chinese player was to block or harm the canadian player her arm would've stayed stiff, she clearly had loose arms as the face of the Canadian bent it with no force.
Brandon Chen Was the Chinese player standing still, or running and blocking to the path to the ball. Since yes to the second option, your point is irrelevant.
"1.you can use your arms to block an opponent as long as you have NO force towards the body or face (which was clearly the play)"
Holy crap - NO!!! If you make any move specifically to IMPEDE the player from the path of the ball, without having an intent to play the ball yourself, that's Obstruction. Using your arms to impede further just makes the call go from debatable to indisputable.
"2. The Chinese player did not change direction until the Canadian player hit her arm."
Change of direction is irrelevant. She stopped trying to make a play for the ball and concentrated on ensuring the Canadian couldn't get it.
Point 3 is just so dumb that I won't waste my time discussing it.
Correct call by the ref, can't mug an opposing player. great free kick by Chinese but replay shows if it was going in the net the Cdn keepers hand would have stopped it. How can others be sad to see a penalty kick awarded, rules of the game apply even in extra time. sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it does not. The better team won here.
Is there somewhere to watch the game online? thanks
Hockey is more popular than football in Canada. But at least they have something to watch now.
Suicide Grenade The NHL playoffs have been on since May.
F Dannn All the Canadian teams are out so they CAN watch this to cheer on their team... I've been following it. (MY ICON?!?!)
Suicide Grenade Canadians don't just stop watching when teams are eliminated, they still watch the playoffs. Hockey is hockey, you're telling me you stopped watching all together after the Rangers were knocked out? if so you aren't much of a hockey fan.
F Dannn I'm saying If they want to cheer on their nation, they have something to watch and attend. This can get them excited if they are still delusional after an exit.
So a free win ...congrats lol
The Canadian girls were a little bit more lucky than their opponents. However I'm glad they won. Go Canada!
If anyone wonders, go see this year's UCL final Dani Alves vs Pogba. That was not called a penalty. So why should this be called?
GO CANADA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH ! GO CANADA GO !
Is it an elbow to face or a face to the elbow? For me it looked more like the Canadian was running to the arm not vice versa! Also poor decision in New Zealand-Netherlands game where Dutch got away with clear penalty.
Allan Soomets Still can't have your arm in an unnatural position for the purpose of impeding or obstructing an opponent. Especially in soccer, since you can't use your arms to play the ball anyway.
Viridel648 True, for me it was one of these you can't much complain eather way just a little bit soft for my taste. I think you could call it obstruction and give away indirect free kick? Or has it changed?
Allan Soomets Honestly, there was nothing soft about it. If the defender would have grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her back, that might have been considered "soft", but wouldn't change the fact the call would be right... In this case, the defender was both out of position, and quite careless. The contact to the head/neck made the call quite automatic. As for the Direct vs. Indirect question, I addressed that in another post... Re-quoted here for convenience:
there are two choices for two scenarios:
If there is NO contact: Obstruction (Indirect free kick), or No Call.
Surely no-call based on the game time and score, and a lack of DIRECT threat at the goal.
If there IS contact: Direct free kick (being a PK in the box) or No-Call. Given that the arms were in an "unnatural position" (this term being addressed in an earlier follow-up), and used in a manner that was not purposed towards getting the ball, but at stopping the Canadian from getting it, there simply couldn't be "No Call".
Now, to be fair, "contact" can be pretty loosely defined either way - but I think you would have a tough time arguing against the fact that this contact significantly altered the path of the player to their intended target... Beyond that, hitting the head or neck will be called a contact (direct) foul every single time - and rightfully so.
My 3 year old brother gets more power on the ball than that penalty.
Good accuracy though, hard to save.
Bravo Canada
Seriously, put some sort of indication of what color is what team, especially when you can not tell based on the countries national colors.
Go team Canada
Compare what Alves did to Pogba in 2015 Champions League final, this is nothing.
no matter what performance they are, I don't believe there is a penalty in the end.
Cri CANDA WINS HELL YEAH!
cuando salta el entrenador de canada la tenia parada
that was not a penalty. I would just let it go as a free kick since the defender did her job by blocking the ball but her hands was a little too high. Beside the other girl practically ran towards the defender.
Good job Canada
I thought both teams, though very different styles, were evenly matched in non-stellar performances. Canada got very lucky in being awarded the PK. But then again, luck is at least 10-20% of every game as referring can be very subjective and penalties are awarded very differently from region to region.
I was there :)
Saw some confusion about rules below. As a 20 years professional audience, certified referee and registered player, let me explain to you guys in details:
IT'S IN ALBERTA, CANADA!!!!!!!!
Clear, no doubt or argument. That's football. The Dutch should be the happiest. Otherwise, there may be 3 or 4 penalties called to them on the third game.
Canada got away with one, hope they learnt their lesson their is no easy team and they'll get calls like that penalty called late on them too.
Purposely run into someone's arm, fall over = penalty.
I can't believe all the bitching about penalty kick given to Canada. Seriously? The Chinese player elbowed the Canadian in the head! How is that not a penalty? An elbow to the head is an elbow to the head and it's against the rules. The elbow also took away a Canadian scoring chance too. To me it doesn't matter if it's in the first minute of the game or the last minute, that kind of penalty should always be called. You can say the Canadian player embellished it all you want, but even if she did (which I don't think she did) you all seem to forget that 3 Chinese players barely got touched yet acted like they were dying which led to free kicks for them earlier in the game. So they have no right to complain about the other team diving. And China was outplayed plain and simple. They got exactly what they deserved.
grunge10111 "Elbowed in the head"
What?
What clip are you watching?
That chinese player didn't even use her elbow, she just had her arm in her face and then the canadian player went down.
Clear dive.
The Joker She Just had her arm in the Canadians face LOL yeah she needed her arms out like that for balance LOL give me a break. I watched the clip in slow motion you can see the Chinese "defender" change direction with her feet moving towards the Canadian player and away from the direction of the ball, to put her body between the ball and the Canadian player, if you are playing US football this is exceptable, but your not allowed to "play the man" in soccer last I checked. She was blocking her from the ball not playing the ball which was heading in the opposite direction to the direction of her body. Of course the china supporters aren't talking about the BS penalty shots they were given in the game.
Sid Hawkes "Penalty shots"
China was not even given a penalty shot.
And are you serious?
What is wrong with standing in the way of your opponent in an attempt to get the ball away?
Last time i checked there was nothing wrong with that.
Semantics pretty desperate of you, got the terminology wrong it was freekicks(multiple), not a penalty kick, big deal still several BS calls made by the official, in one case within striking distance to almost get a goal. But no mention from you LOL Problem for the Chinese is they fouled the Canadian player in the worst possible area, most good teams are extra cautious in that area. Problem she was not "standing" can't help you are blind. She moved towards the Canadian player, and away from the direction of the ball, if you ever looked at the video you would know this. You are just looking at actual impact last millisecond, she stopped, and made a further backwards step towards the Canadian player when contact was made. It was obvious to the referee that she was moving to block the Canadian player from the ball, not to play the ball. You are hopeless. See what you want to see, but the guy that started this thread was correct in his analysis
Clearly you are blind and aren't one to be calling anyone an idiot. The video is there, she moves towards the player, away from direction of the ball, it's in the video, but like I said you see what you want to see. Yeah and she need to extend her arm for balance lol, she knew what she was doing but you don't want to see it LOL No mention by you about the other calls by the ref, you just talk about this one, VERY telling LOL If the ref had let those other calls go and then called the the Chinese on that one play maybe you would have something, but she called the dives by the Chinese which you ignored, just bad luck that they got called for theirs in the penalty area. Ref wasn't forgiving on her calls, so whine as much as you want she chose to call it, it was still a foul though as the thread started had stated. I have seen the slow motion video, you have to look at player position before impact to see her intention was not to play the ball but the player, but you choose to ignore that,.She wasn't standing as you claimed, in fact stepped back towards the Canadian on impact.your cognitive abilities are obviously lacking. Have nice life, just don't sign up to ref anyone's game.
Zhao lina
If she doesn't jump outward, she would have saved the ball.
Black Harem king most probably would have been a retake as the GK was off the line
It was a obviously penalty kick .
裁判黑哨:(
❤️ ❤️
It has nothing to do with the arm, it was a block, the Chinese girl jumps around the ball to block the Canadian, she never touches the ball!!
Neil Olien Yes, and no. If she just jumped around to block (for the purpose of allowing a teammate to get the ball), that would be Obstruction (Indirect Free Kick). The contact is specifically what turns it into a PK.
No penalty!
FRANCE and USA favorite for win the world cup
I think a red card for a penalty in the box during the World Cup match should be definitively , not two players arms up aggressively fighting for positioning. Imagine working hard your entire life training for the four years to make it to the World Cup just to lose to a call like that I disagree
i was there
What is name of Player on 0:35 ?
If your talking about the goalie who saved it her name is Erin Mclead
Roller Coaster I do not guess gk saved the shot.And I had asked Chinese woman who shot the ball but thanks.
What does PR mean
People's Republic
Never a penalty. Poor refereeing. I suppose Canada deserved the win, but it's a soft penalty.
The Chinese player had her hand up in the Canadian players face, that’s a penalty.
No way that's a penalty.
If this would be the International Men's Cup, it would be very different. Oh well 3 more years to go (︶︹︺)
China got whopped
Shame on the referee. Do not lose heart. Go CHINA!
Germany should have won the game😂😂
it wsn´t a penalti!!
1:20
You can't just Clothesline people China, come on.
