White thought she made it 2-2 but was denied by VAR
England are preparing to face
USA on Thursday nightThe England striker Ellen White is still haunted by the VAR decision which ruled out her equaliser, with her toe adjudged to have been in an offside position in their
World Cup semi-final defeat against USA last summer.
“I do sit at home at night and say: ‘Ahhh, I just can’t stand VAR.’ My husband will say the same thing. It’s frustrating,” she said, still clearly exasperated, as the Lionesses prepare for their first meeting with USA since that defeat, in the SheBelieves Cup on Thursday night. “I still get a lot of people saying stuff about VAR and internally [she groans]. It really irritates me. But it is what it is, that’s just football.”
