Semi-Finals: Italy vs Spain | England vs Denmark

[WelshManc]

England deserve to lead but that decision not to overturn that penalty is ridiculous. Again, what's the point in VAR?

 

[2 man midfield]

Bitter or just saying the truth?

Some manage to stay calm while posting, others have lost their shit and frankly it’s hilarious

 

[90 + 5min]

From second half England have been dominant but come on. This home advantage with referees have to stop. Not first game they have been handed decisions in this tournament.

Who would have said that you need Italy to win for justice to be done.

 

[DixieDean]

Never seen so many bitter people in my life as this thread. This is hilarious.

It's really something!

 

[Hansi Fick]

Yes it was a dive but I don't give a feck thats why you don't sub Raheem.

I'll take it, I've watched Germany do it, Brazil do it, Italy do it, I even seen a Dutch person who likely cheered on Robben whinging about it. Its cheating but every other cnut does it so I don't give a feck, good man Raheem and good man Harry.

The English are the worst divers in world football hands down. Embarrassing post.

 

[Dr. StrangeHate]

So many bitter in here

A wrong decision is a wrong decision.

 

[Nico87]

Both teams have been flopping down as soon as touched. And the idea that Italy should somehow be representative as the patron saints of fair play is even more laughable

 

[Kaos]

I hope Italy win the final with a 96th minute penalty following a Chiesa dive

 

[Volumiza]

He’s dived Lee, stop trying to justify it.

Yeah, just said the same

 

[Wayne's World]

He doesn't even touch him????

A fecking disgrace

 

[mu4c_20le]

How did they not tell the ref to go luck at that. Very very poor.

Schmeichel didn't deserve to conceed it.

Yes he did

 

[Judas]

England probably deserve the win but the fact that they had to do it via a dive and a rebound from a penalty in extra time is funny.

I'm laughing too, with joy.

Ain't over yet!

 

[Berbaclass]

WTF is Gary doing

 

[Alex99]

Definite penalty. Contact from two defenders.

 

[sidsutton]

Kane knew it was a dive and missed it on purpose. A true gent.

I can get behind that.

 

[Pexbo]

Refs in var room are apparently told to support the ref as much as they can which doesn`t make much sense, makes it pointless. The first one on Kane should probably have been a pen and this one should have been overturned.

This doesn’t mean what you think it mean.

 

[pratyush_utd]

Played a completely weird 7 minutes of added time, begging England to score, then gives the most obvious non-penalty imaginable.

Yeah that was weird as feck.. 6 min extra time and then played it till 7.. not sure where they pulled 7 min from..

 

[piesel]

Boris Johnson - Ceferin - Makkelie, nice job.

 

[Fortitude]

Italy would literally have to beat themselves.

Italy are probably beating themselves watching this right now TBF

 

[Random Task]

We'll be hearing a lot about how "intelligent" Sterling was in getting that penalty.

The anti-English (of which there are many) will be all over that penalty decision from now until the end of time.

 

[Shark]

As an Irishman, even though the penalty was controversial, England have deserved it performance wise.

 

[Halftrack]

He's losing balance trying to squirm between two players. Not a dive, not a pen. I'm glad it's annoying the anti English crowd though.

It's Sterling, so it's a definite dive.

“The most obvious non-penalty imaginable” Oh the hyperbole of the disgruntled.

 

[duffer]

Bitter or just saying the truth?

Bitter.

 

[mu4c_20le]

We do not let this slip!

 

[Wilt]

Keep it going you salty lot. It SUSTAINS me

fecking right too ….amazed the amount of anti England on here

 

[padr81]

Nothing can be done. VAR is supposed to take care of this, diving is a key part of football

People were crying out for a low VAR approach and this is the result. The fact there was minimal contact meant it was never getting over turned with the approach people wanted and were given from VAR this competition.

 

[Joga Bonito]

doesn’t matter that it was a dodgy penalty as kane scored from open play.

 

[NieThePiet]

Biggest games of the season are still decided by refs, so poor.

 

[YouOnlyLiveTwice]

Imagine being 10x the People of Denmark and Winning on such premises. Good luck against Italy #NotSalty

 

[lex talionis]

Rooney just came out of retirement

Please tell me that’s a masterful photoshop job and not an actual newspaper!

 

[Houdini]

England probably deserve the win but the fact that they had to do it via a dive and a rebound from a penalty in extra time is funny.

It actually sums up this team.

 

[Pink Moon]

Absolutely hilarious isn't it. None of them semed to care when the Danes dived or had "injuries".

There's a slight difference between a penalty for a dive and the Danish "injuries" you're talking about, which, coincidentally, led to the player going off the very next time he stretched anyway.

 

[Rado_N]

Definite penalty. Contact from two defenders.

Yea, no

 

[chiz2kul]

Never a pen. Completely ruined the game for me. England cementing their status as the villains of the tournament!
Man I lost all respect for Sterling and Kane watching this game.

 

[0le]

Gary Neville

 

[Nick7]

Mad how calling a dive, a dive is bitter. England deserve to win, but it was a dive.

 

[Judas]

Grealish off

 

[krentz]

Haha grealish is off again

 

[Awla]

I still don't know how VAR works
