Apparently this is the wording, which, hands up, I was not aware was the case now:
When the ball is kicked, the defending goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot touching, in line with, or behind, the goal line.
So, I guess she could have argued for the “in line with” part. I honestly can’t keep up it seems like the rules change constantly - last I knew I was certain you had to be actually touching the line.
Should that not have been retaken? Neither foot was on the line when the penalty was taken
Yup, so the result was fair in the end.
Yeah, indeed.
I get the feeling VAR shat out of overturning a saved penalty 20 minutes (well, 35 as it turned out!) from the end of the World Cup final.
Must it be on the line or just over the line?

EDIT 2:
So, that is confusing tbh!
Haha ok so fifa are also unsure :D Not a big deal now because Spain won anyway, but that could have been very consequential
