Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 8/4/2021

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

I see I wasn't the ONLY one wondering about that PK!

Barry Stewart of Chilliwack, BC Canada asks...

Canada-USA women's semi-final in the Olympics. VAR awarded a PK for Canada, when Canada's Rose contacted Davidson, the U.S. defender from behind, then stretched through to poke the ball away.

Johnnie Hutchins of Friendswood, TX US asks...

I am puzzled by the PK call in the US Women's Olympic match with Canada.
