Apparently you can run up to a defender controlling the ball, initiate contact

and throw yourself to the ground. Really bunk call especially given VAR use

POLL: What are your thoughts on the foul / penalty kick late in the USWNT loss?

Meh. Losers blame 1 call on an entire game.

Yeah. Every team has their chances.

In soccer, that is often the case when the bad call is a penalty kick.

yeah, this isn't like a block vs charge decision in the 3rd Q of a bball game

Dive into a player that clearly had position, get a penalty kick.

Not a foul. Agree that non scoring threat fouls shouldn’t be awarded a PK

Lazy clearance attempt by the US defender. No awareness if pressure was coming. Kicked an opponent who had gotten in
