Interesting thread, with video, of the reversed handball call in #USAvsENG.

rd1899.bsky.social RD Welch @rd1899.bsky.social · Dec 1
On the reversed PK decision in the USWNT-England friendly, this seems like a case when the call was made too quickly and actually "stopped a promising attack" (to borrow a phrase from Law 12), as three other USA players were open in the penalty area.

(1/5)
Video still at the 63:34 mark, just as referee blows her whistle and points to the penalty spot. #24 Yazmeen Ryan had control of the ball. #10 Lindsey Horan was open above the penalty spot. On the upper left of the box, #7 Alyssa Thompson was wide open. Also, #6 Lynn Williams was a few yards outside the 6-yard box and clear of her defender, so she could have received the ball as well. Additionally, #16Rose Lavelle was open outside the box, though just behind the referee,

Lavelle with some sneaky moves. Greenwood disarms her but still looked good.

Naz out for England. I think she was such a powerful move for them. Exciting to see more of her!

I wouldn’t call it a handball. It hits the trunk of her torso. But her arm is extended…
