Yeah I just watched the replay again and even soccer fanatics and ex-players were commenting how that 6 second rule is never called and most can't even remember it being called ever especially at this level of play and importance.
Secondly, you see the Canadian player look away and shield her face and chest from the shot. How the hell do you do a deliberate handball when you are not evening looking at it?
Honestly, the game is over and decided but if anything that ref should be reprimanded and banned from officiating at this level ever again since if she wasn't paid off then is way too incompetent to ref at this level of play.
