In that moment, England coach Sarina Wiegman believed her star goalkeeper had just pulled the Lionesses back into the game.

Earps, the Manchester United keeper, pounded her chest after the save. She wagged her tongue. And she clearly shouted an expletive in the direction of Spain’s players. She’d been tested over and over in the final — Spain had seven shots on goal, including three on target — and her temerity led the Lionesses.England couldn’t score and the European champions were defeated in their debut in the World Cup final.

If she had been off her line, Hermoso would have been given a second attempt. FIFA said Earps’ positioning was checked by VAR and the goalkeeper’s foot was on the line when the penalty was taken.
