  1. The reason this has almost 20% dislikes is that 1) it wasn't even an assist, 2) while being amazing for women it would be pedestrian for a man player so calling it "the best ever" is a bit silly and 3) the finish was hardly that impressive, it being a soft header and right down the centre.

  2. I don't agree with the rules of a throw-in. I think it doesn't matter how it's thrown back into play because it's FOOTball.
    But.. the rule is that the ball has to leave the hands before the hands are in front of the head, and in this flip throw she definitely still had it in her hands passed that point. Sunday league u11s get penalised for foul throws… why are professionals with all the VAR and so on getting away with foul throws?

  3. Oh you couldn't have said that any better when brazil is playing always something special case in point 2014 world cup yes absolutely right so special 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  4. I cannot believe (as a referee and instructor) that FIFA would show these type of videos on the site as they are actually illegal. Why?
    #1) It is an offence to do something during the game that can cause harm to yourself (as well as an opponent). Should the player slip or the ball burst during this action then a serious injury to the player could occur. It is Law 12 Playing in a dangerous manner,
    #2) The ball must be thrown from behind the head and the player must be in a standing position (Law 15).
    In this video the player is not in a standing position when the ball is released!
    Yes, it's nice and amazing to watch but goes against the IFAB Laws Of The Game!
