Caught the highlights and noticed the ref was announcing the VAR decision to the stadium. Is that the case for the whole competition? Is it a trial? I think VAR definitely needs more stadium interaction but I’m not sure that’s the answer

Yes refs tell the stadium the VAR decision but seems pointless as they don't explain how/why it was made so really not much use.

Remarkable really to think that Morocco who lost 6-0 to Germany in their opening game end up qualifying 2 points above them.

With Brazil exiting yesterday and Germany today, the QF opponent for England should they progress will be Colombia or Jamaica.

With the likes of Japan, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden and the US on the other half of the draw and at least one of Australia and France guaranteed to not make the SF, it can't be denied that the draw has certainly opened up for England in a way that few if any would've expected.

Penalty shootout decided with VAR and goalline technology. Just when you think you have seen everything...

Over the line by a hair's breadth, not even millimetres.

Interesting that goal line technology is black or white, but can it really be ThAT precise?

In the old days it's a miss and in the very old days gentlemen would probably agree that it be retaken. Indeed, you wonder whether Corinthian Casuals vs Royal Engineers ever had a penalty shootout, or the like.

Rapinoe's miss was key. The legend blots her copybook. Not the first.

Sweden only had 1 shot on target in 2 hours of football.

The US had so many chances. But they blew it big time. You've got to make the keeper save it in a shootout. Hit the target.

It matters not. With their superior movement and finishing, Japan won't be losing any sleep before the QF.
