UCLA has something on this ref. 2 handballs and a reckless tackle from behind in the box in the first 30 minutes

I always wonder how the refs are supposed to call these slide tackles. The offensive player was clearly going in 1v1 vs. the keeper. #5 came in from behind with a slide tackle and cleared the ball first, then made contact with the offensive player second. According to the rules, is that a clean tackle or is the defender not allowed to make any contact? I’m asking because I’ve seen this play a thousand times it it would appear that there isn’t a foul if the defender makes contact with the ball first.

I agree. It looks aggressive because she’s coming from behind, but it was all on the ball first.
 
So it’s ok to break a kids legs as long as you get ball first? If it was from the side maybe but the player was clearly beat and made a desperate tackle denying obvious goal scoring opportunity

It was a great game.
The superior athleticism of NC matched against the better soccer players of UCLA.
I think the man made climate change may have helped had it been ten years ago when it was called global warming.
The new moniker is too cold, and doesn't lend itself to flash and soccer IQ.
It's more inclined to stifle creativity, and jump on the race horse's back.

I know I enjoyed the match, though. Both teams left everything on the field, and both are superb examples of what they bring respectively.
Im starting to miss this college game already.
Congrats to NC, and to UCLA.
Both teams were great.
 
Choker. Three years in a row. All the coaches know. Just isolate her 1 v 1 and it will happen.

Happy to see the kneelers lose. Maybe it is time to play the beautiful game absent the political statements. Karma is a bitch.

UCLA goalkeeping, always an adventure!

Absolutely horrible all game. Second goal stemmed from her failure to catch the ball. I’ve been meaning to go on the goalkeeper forum to ruffle some feathers, but those “clean sheet” and “goals against allowed” stats are absolutely meaningless, especially for keepers on top teams because they are rarely meaningfully challenged.

Shoot, I still don’t know how good Hope Solo is or was, I saw her make like 3 saves in 10 years. And don’t get me started on the dives for balls 10 yards wide of the post or the dive for a ball 2 feet to either side. But, but, but that’s how they train them! Exactly, trainers are a bunch of idiots who never played other sports, especially baseball.

Dumb ass, there’s kneelers on at least 2 of the remaining teams.
