Which part, as this looks to me like a player intentionally moving her arm into the path of the ball?Having finally seen this -- it seems to meet all the criteria in the LotG NOT to be called handball.
So, I'm good with the overturn here.

The way I'm looking at it, she's put her arms down by her sides, in a natural place, not making the body larger.Care to share your analysis rather than just stating a conclusion?
Can’t argue with the logic there. I would say though that unless conclusive in the replays that it didn’t hit her arm (which it wasn’t), shouldn’t they be sticking with the original decision? Although, someone has mentioned on here that referees see replays we don’t see at homeThe way I'm looking at it, she's put her arms down by her sides, in a natural place, not making the body larger.
Secondly, watching it live, the player moves her body into the path of the ball, and live, it's not clear if hits the side of the chest or the bicep, but hey, referee thought it hit the bicep, so, let's go with that.
Video replay at speed and 3/4 speed, it's unclear if it's hit the chest or arm or both. The first angle (from behind), it looks like it's hitting nothing but arm. The second angle (from in front) it looks like it's hitting the chest, but not clear if it's hitting the arm -- the path of the ball helps give that impression here. The final angle, from the side is, to me, the most conclusive, and it appears to be hitting the shoulder (not the bicep, but up at the joint) -- and it's this one that I can understand why the referee thought it must've hit the arm.
With all that in mind, for me, if it does hit the arm (rather than shoulder), it's hit the chest first, and the arm is in a natural position. Having said all that, I think (based on the last angle) that it actually hits the shoulder, which is not considered handball anyhow.
So, because of that -- it seems to meet all the criteria in the LotG NOT to be called handball, and I'm good with the overturn here.

If this is not geo coded, your thoughts on the penalty appeal on 92nd minute (1.12 on the video) and the red card on the 104 minute (1.58 on the video)?
92 min regulation time (added time).92nd min (ET) You're never getting a penalty for that.
92 min regulation time (added time).
I don't believe that to be so. In fact I'm sure I've seen the opposite stated, that the TV viewers must be able to see what the referee sees - for reasons of transparency. From what I've read, apart from two specialised offside cameras (I think the ones that the VAR team use to plot the offside lines) all the replays and different camera angles come from the TV broadcast feed.Although, someone has mentioned on here that referees see replays we don’t see at home
From what I've seen of what they show when the referee is in the RRA, I think they're showing us exactly what the referee is looking at.The VAR team has access to all relevant FIFA host broadcaster camera feeds as well as two additional offside cameras, with the exception of a few cameras that do not cover the game.
I would have that in reverse. If we dont know then is it obvious Goal scoring opportunity?92nd min (ET) You're never getting a penalty for that.
The red card is contentious. I initially thought yellow card (SPA) because the ball was going through to the GK but I can understand the red card since we don't know if the attacker could have got to the ball before the GK.
