That’s a foul at midfield so it’s a foul in the box.
Paredes on the Spanish team plays a stiff game. She gets her money's worth on every challenge.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Wasn’t very pretty but good enough. Will need better execution Friday.
US looked vulnerable
What would you say.....ya do here?
Professional-level flop there to get that penalty kick.

This is how I saw it.There was no “clear and obvious” error. Because there was contact – by the Spanish defender to Lavelle’s leg.
But the contact was slight. It wasn’t enough to make Lavelle fall in that way. A bit of necessary embellishment baited the referee into whistling. Many other refs would have waved play on.
What I certainly did not see was someone running full speed and getting kicked in the shin.
That is something that occurs all of the time in soccer with no foul. Incidental (slight) contact.
She sold the contact. That is, she flopped.
