English player bias
I’d like to say I have special powers that can see the future, but I don’t.
I‘ve just seen them before and know that Oliver, Atwell and Coote are morons.
Germany must remember to thank him after the game
why is kimmich always clogging the middle…. pisses me off so much
God I love watching Kroos play.
Three stooges
And now he's waxing lyrical about Toni Kroos. He's had a shocker today ol' Clive
Maybe but he’s not been unplayable or anything overly spectacular, commentators go over the top to quick now a days.
I feel like Germany look better with Can on the field, even though he moves like a barge and was an emergency replacement.
Andrich must have had a hell of a season for Leverkusen, but he just seems to be a pure destroyer and a bit of a clumsy clogger with the ball at his feet.

Mofo I just turned it on thinking it was still 0-0. Is Germany much better ?
If Denmark stood a chance they needed to do their damage in the first 60 mins. They typically run out of very fast beyond that point in the game. I give them no hope really, if they’re chasing the game while they’re basically running on fumes.
Very even game turned on its head by some shocking decisions by VAR if I’m honest
Way too late with the subs and change in tactics from Hjulmand again…
Rudiger 
State of the referee
Rudiger should be booked for that theatrical dive
I love how people on here shit on Oliver because they are biased while they at the same time have no idea about the rules.
Let me quote from the laws of the game:
Law 5: The referee.
2. Decisions of the referee
Decisions will be made to the best of the referee's ability according to the Laws of the Game and the 'spirit of the game' and will be based on the opinion of the referee who has the discretion to take appropriate action within the framework of the Laws of the Game.
Now please tell me in what universe that handball decision is in the spirit of the game?
This is what pisses me off when the refs say they have to give a handball in these situations. It’s literally in the rules that they should be interpreted in the spirit of the game.
Rudiger is a legend.
Rudiger is quite the scheissehaus
Rudiger is such a shithouse what the feck is he doing
Last day at work, you have a few pints, you say some stupid stuff. We’ve all been there?
These are some depressing subs.
Germany are diving all over the place now.
Can looks like a clone of Khedira.
VAR is one of the (many) reasons I don't follow football much, these days. Made the sport worse not better.
Wirtz is Vardy reborn
It's so funny how Rudiger dupes the refs time and again with that nonsense. He can clear that ball without the big swing. If anything, he needlessly makes contact with the Denmark player.
Overall, Germany well worth the win tbh
What do we do about this?
That yellow card for Ba (i think?)
Not a classic day of football.
I don't agree with going back to the "deliberate" handball rule as that gives defenders a huge advantage when making their bodies bigger. However the distance the ball has travelled has to be taken into consideration. Andersen was inches away from the bloke crossing the ball.
It's a shame Germany is in such a horrible side of the draw, they would easily breeze to the final if they were on the other side. I don't think they can get past Spain. Spain/Italy has always been their biggest nemesis.
He pretty much has been in previous games. However, Denmark have obviously noticed how influential he has been and have doubled/tripled up on him, as a result.
Penalty incident such a shame. Was shaping up to be a brilliant game until that point.
Seemed pretty even until the VAR stuff to be honest. Very comfortable for them since then though.
Referees need to be given licence to use common sense and not a dumbass application of the rule
