UCLA’s 3 unanswered goals in remarkable championship comeback

[@ikejon-ubabuco2717]

How is that not a foul on the 2nd goal? If that's not a foul, I'm telling one of my players to push the keeper into their own net on every. single. corner.

[@bruce8204]

I get it, maybe not completely unbiased as a Michigan fan. But it seems like she went into the net on her own to try to block that from entering the net, there's a litlte contact, but no one knocked her over. I would say no foul, certainly wouldn't be in men's or EPL. Not sure if women's rules are different, as contact may be considered different between the two sports. That little contact is allowed, people have to have space to move.

[@Hic_Rhodus]

Complete outsider (and football player) from another country here. There's no way that corner's not a foul on the keeper. The number 15... One of the biggest opponent players purposefully moves in front of her like a preplanned move... doesn't jump or look to score... shows little interest in doing anything except impeding her movement toward the ball... puts her arm out to prevent the keeper from getting into the air in the right area... and then even pushes her into the goal area. It's basic reffing 101: you've got to give the Goalie some protection... or every corner in football will have players "accidentally" banging into keepers. The one thing the keeper did do badly... was she didn't seem to know how to sell a foul. She was too concerned and caught up in the moment... Should've have made the situation very clear to the ref by causing a fight and aggressively acting out even maybe even before the ball got kicked! The ref would then have kept their eye on the situation.

Here is what happened - NC was lazy and not going to the ball on corners and crosses. Even when the ball was just in play NC stopped running to the ball expecting it to just come right to them.

That second goal had to be a foul. There’s no way a player can impede the path of the goalie that much without getting a foul called. A championship was stolen honestly because of cheating. Call it whatever you want but it was intentional cheating by the player that didn’t go punished. That’s a horrible way to lose a game for UNC
