- The referee’s decision to award the Netherlands a late penalty against Japan in Tuesday’s women’s World Cup last-16 match was one of many “cruel decisions” made by VAR during the tournament, Japanese coach Asako Takakura said after the side lost 2-1.
VAR has been in the spotlight at the women’s World Cup with many goals and offside calls being overturned after review, leading to player protests and criticism from managers, but Takakura said she could not complain. Although Japan had their chances at the tournament, their physicality and intensity were not up to the mark compared to the European sides such as the Dutch and England, who beat them 2-0 in the group stages.
Takakura said Japan, who won the title in 2011 and also reached the final at the previous edition, were under pressure to perform which may have affected the squad that included 17 players who were playing in the World Cup for the first time.
