Somehow even after replay, no foul or PK. The NC homers spun it as the shot had already been taken which is irrelevant. The ball was being held by the GK; so it was still in play and that is all that matters. The exact same play just happened Sounders vs. SD in MLS and replay correctly overruled the no call and a pk was awarded. Also note that Winn was injured on the play and did not return. It was a really bad tackle - something UNC does on a regular basis.
Proof - as the WNBA regularly shows - that giving an incompetent clown replay solves nothing. An incompetent clown with replay is still an incompetent clown. Just with replay.
I found the unc Homer announcers justification that the ball had already been shot to be particularly egregious. They're saying that if the ball is gone you can just take out the player?!?! Obviously not but that's how they spun it. It's even worse that there was contact and no ball!
It's a foul anywhere on the pitch at any time and I am baffled how it wasn't called there.
