that's a clear foul anywhere else on the pitch. It's a pen

I mean, agree to disagree I guess, I wouldn’t be upset if I got hit by the foot there. Defender is tracking the ball the entire time and Heath comes flying in from the side - yeah it’s high but it’s not head high and it’s not malicious.

you wouldn't be upset but that's a pen everywhere in the world.

Also, I’m not denying it’s a penalty, I just think it’s a soft call in the box in a pivotal game on a non-scoring opportunity, which, to be fair, is entirely in keeping with the majority of the VAR calls in this tournament.

I don't understand your assessment of "soft call in the box." It's not soft. It's a high boot that clearly strikes an attacker going for the ball.

An attacker whose momentum is carrying her clearly away from goal in no position to score or control the ball. That’s what makes it soft. If she’s bringing it down or was already boxing out, yeah I see it, but the way both were playing the ball I don’t think it’s worthy of a pk.

if you drag down a player 50 ft from the ball in the box, it's a penalty. The action itself is the foul, not the situation.

But it’s a long established part of soccer that certain fouls have to be, for lack of a better term, “harder” or “more obvious” to warrant a penalty kick. Otherwise every single corner kick would lead to a pk with how much illegal contact goes on from the defenders.

an allowed amount of grabbing and pulling is accepted for some reason but kicks to the shoulder aren't in any situation is my point.

I’ve seen them let go in the box before when the attacker flings themself into the defender’s leg and the defender is clearly trying to play the ball. The ref’s been letting them play physical the entire game. This stood out as different.

I think that was part of why it was called. 1) there is no reason for a defender to ever BLINDLY throw a high kick there 2) Ref knew she was close to losing control of the game given some questionable no calls. Morgan does try to draw fouls too much but it was getting chippy
