Copa Mundial de Fútbol Femenino Primera tarjeta ROJA Japón-EE. UU. Azusa Iwashimizu
This wasn't the first red card at the Women's World Cup.
Lin Hui-fang got the first, 6 minutes into the Chinese Taipei vs Nigeria match in 1991.
Proper Brexit tackle, got all ball, let her know she was there, games gone soft
Honestly, she did the right thing. It was in the last minute of stoppage time, and Morgan would have had a great chance to score if she let her go. And she was smart enough to commit the foul just before Morgan got to the box to prevent a penalty kick. This isn't a swinging elbow kind of red card. It's a professional foul very much in the spirit of the game. Honestly, this play is nearly as important (it's possible Morgan may have missed) as the goals that were scored by Miyama and Sawa.
Who got the card? Alex or goalie
most professional red card I've ever seen, she should have been MVP for Japan, chances of a one on one vs a set play outside the box, I'll take the set play any day as a defender.
Everyone defending the Japanese- NOPE! It's a circumstantial thing. If this was at halfway through the field at like 5 minutes into the game? THAT is a yellow card, but this was right when Morgan was about to score, right at the end of the game, on the goal that would have won them the world cup. Cheap yet smart move on the Japanese part, taking first red card ever to prevent America from getting a game winning goal, and TOTALLY undeserving of any idiot willing to defend Japan on this.
What game was this and is there a video
first red card in women's soccer. dubious achievement by the japanese, cheap shot to cheat a win. shameful
Easy red card. Takes ball and player. Last defender, attacker running straight at goal.
we can't see it in this video, but I think that it was goal scoring opportunity and that's why player was sent off
How could someone hurt alex morgan!!
Shades of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer here…
@Marini12crazy has a good name she is crazy or he ws rarely dives
I think it was a fantastic DF action by the best DF in the world. It had to be done, and it deserved a yellow for the committed nature of the tackle. But no way was it a red, the FW was not clean thru on goal. Furthermore the FW contributed to the incident by playing the ball at the DF.
Who cares?! Japan wins – Usa loses, past is past…..
Japan won by redcard penalty only – Japan never intended to touch the ball – she was beaten – a sure goal by the American
@johncalebsteele
uh no, you're bad wrong.
good job iwashimizu. they were both going for the ball, morgan never had possession. red card, ha. since she got red carded anyway, too bad she did'nt get croch kicked.
@hare24h what's wrong with that play? that's strong soccer. She was trying to prevent score, is that wrong?
Why is that a red card? she's just breaking up the play. That's heads up soccer.
the japanese couldn't evitate to touch the foot of the americain, missed the ball who was sending back but not enough (we saw it came back when both are on the ground). A red is not deserved on this action. As I am neither Americain nor Japanese, I can say that I have a neutral opinion in this case. So please be honest and don't complain for such things like kids. If the japanese hadn't act, who can say the americain would have made a goal ? She could have missed it too like her teamates.
come on ! if she deserved a red, then all the defenser in soccer should have one. So far, they never get red for that. She did a regular slide. She was sliding to touch the ball, sliding means anticipating a few seconds before, we clearly see she missed the ball for a few millimeters because the american shoot the ball with the heel to have it back. I mean: the americain put her foot in front of the ball. Doing so, the ball was missed by the japanese who was already sliding…
@hare24h I have deep admiration for your character and comment – thank you
Hey thanks for posting this. Japan won by this penalty. The ball should have been marked in the box, one on one, as the play would have been. The US out-played and out-classed the Japanese – particularly here as the Americans never mention this in re-caps of the match. U-S-A! well done
And It hurts that this prevented a great opportunity but absolutely everybody would have done the same thing with just a minute or so left in OT in the Final. Who knows what would have happened if Morgan got through or the foul happened in the box. If Morgan took a PK it prob would be a goal. She was on fire this game. I don't know why she wasn't chosen as one of the firsts for the shootout.
But US can't just point to this play. They had plenty of chances to put it away the 1st half.
Those of you who are saying this shouldn't have been a red card are dreaming. It's the very definition of a professional foul preventing a 1 on 1 with the goalie and a terrific goal-scoring opportunity. The facts don't change based on whether it's men or women playing. Get real.
For red card to be awarded, one must have much more definite break away or clear path to goal than one Alex Morgan had. This may be considered Red in Women's game, but it would never fly as Red in Men's game, especially when Alex had to turn the ball to avoid defender, clearly tackling from side.
There is a law of game for professional foul, but this is hardly one of them.
just from a pure sports outlook, the US was on a break away with no one to stop her with japan's last defensive player's only option was to take her out or lose the game. making the US force a penalty kick rather than a breakaway on the goal… she basically kamikaze'd that goal.
Alex Morgan had a bit of sloppy touch right before this video, probably trying to get inside the box ASAP. Japanese defender went for the ball, but Morgan got there a bit quicker, turning the ball, ended up taking her down as a result. It was outside 18, defender came in low and studs down, in the trajectory of where ball was going, before Morgan redirected it. Yellow card on coming in hard.. yes. Red, NO. Everyone was caught in excitement of final minutes, including ref.
Japan won the cup in pentaly kicks, time will tell if the us womens team can make it back to the promised land in 2016.
