I’m convinced there is a directive to be a lot looser with fouls and cards for the WWC. All tournament cynical, dangerous or reckless tackles were routinely ignored or severity downplayed, time wasting and shithousery barely punished, if you were new to the game via WWC and played the same way you’d be an absolute menace. It feels like they’re so desperate not to make the women’s game appear soft that they’ll throw normal standards out the window. Try that in a club game or men’s WC.

No, it is not coming home.. Football moved out years ago and just goes travelling now.

Plus the first official women’s football game was in Scotland anyway.

Yep, agree. And I think that's why there was a lot of inconsistency - when you have referees who aren't used to being super lenient, being told to be super lenient - well, it means they're going to really struggle with foul and card recognition. And that flows onto VAR decisions as well.
I suspect FIFA had this idea that having a referee basically blow the kickoff whistle then go sit in the sheds until halftime makes the game a better spectacle. I would say it definitely doesn't, especially when you look at things like England's timewasting in our semi.
