Semi-Finals: Italy vs Spain | England vs Denmark

[A-man]

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

For me it’s more that English football has always been tough but fair kind of football. This kind of cheating is a disgrace.

 

[Dancfc]

Literally came on this thread to see the meltdown over Grealish going off

 

[MattofManchester]

Denmark don't have the energy to put up a fight.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

VAR is there to stop that kind of thing. What the hell were they looking at? Amazingly bad decision.
Nobody that seen that replay thought that was a penalty

 

[Rajma]

There must have been about 10 posters in the last few pages pretending that they've switched allegiance from England to Italy because of a penalty decision that was given by a non-English and verified by a non-English VAR panel.

Maybe because of all the disgusting diving?

I just want to be sure your screename is the Spanish Barcelona correct?

 

[duffer]

If Italy get a soft penalty like that on Sunday there will be uproar

As much uproar as there was in this thread for Kane's pen, or less?

 

[Rajiztar]

I think Denmark will score jammy goal

 

[devilish]

Insult to Grealish but tbf it's bold from Southgate, as opposed to taking the easy option and subbing off someone who started. Plus Grealish had played pretty poorly, barely broke into a jog when he was on.

Every time he got the ball he ended up fouled. That's what England needs at this point

 

[Judas]

Maguire is superb.

 

[arnie_ni]

Micah Richards the voice of reason:

Dixon and Wright also said it

 

[Hansi Fick]

Says a guy who's likely watched and cheered on prime Klinnsmann.

You know you're morally in trouble when your desperate attempt at whataboutism has to go back into the last millenium

 

[Skills]

Sterling

The guy who just won the penalty and the only threat in behind they've got?

 

[DrRodo]

Imagine this place with that pen being awarded against united

 

[Rado_N]

We have. Although, amazingly, there are many who won’t hear a bad word about it. In this tournament we’ve generally been spared the bollox delays and stupid pedantry but that’s caused it to fail at its primary function. Basically it’s proved that there is no possible way this poxy thing can improve football.

Yep, we’ve laughed when the English refs have meant reviews take 10 minutes, but tonight is the flip side with a 2.4 second “nah it’s fine” review of a very blatant dive.

VAR is garbage.

 

[The Firestarter]

Pickford

 

[Judas]

Keep the ball away from fecking Pickford.

 

[VorZakone]

Poulsen with the worst cameo ever? Has he done anything of note?

 

[pratyush_utd]

Pickford makes a simple clearance funny..

 

[T00lsh3d]

fecking don’t give the ball to Pickford

 

[devilish]

Take off someone that’s played the full match.

Exactly

 

[Snowjoe]

What a pathetic thing to say. Why are the staff and scouts the worst posters on this site?

 

[Deery]

The guy who just won the penalty and the only threat in behind they've got?

Yes.

 

[RoadTrip]

Gonna be edgy as F

 

[Caliban]

A goal that will go down in history as cheating. Has to beat Italy now to make up for it.

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Moaning about the pen but no mention of a blatantly obviously back pass that was completely ignored two yards from goal.

 

[Judas]

Poulsen with the worst cameo ever? Has he done anything of note?

He is very very very very good and a danger man. He will most likely score or assist. Very very good.

[Irwin99]

one more chance for Denmark?

 

[RedSky]

Because only immature peoole think like that. England deserve to win without a doubt, it was simply a dive

Aye, i'm hoping it's the alcohol. I'm English, it was a clear dive, about time we had a terrible ref decision go our way mind you.

 

[0le]

If Italy get a soft penalty like that on Sunday there will be uproar

A few fans will moan and then move on. What you are seeing now is people who have an anti-English bias and just cannot handle England doing well at anything, nor their fans celebrating it.

 

[pratyush_utd]

Poulsen with the worst cameo ever? Has he done anything of note?

He fouled a few times

 

[diarm]

I'm sickened.

I had a great "wonder if Gareth will bring De Gea on for the penalties" joke lined up.

 

[Wilt]

Why grealish …he was playing great

 

[KirkDuyt]

Does Denmark think it's still 1-1 or are they just that tired.

 

[Nick7]

Poulsen with the worst cameo ever? Has he done anything of note?

Grealish?

 

[Pexbo]

He stops the second video as contact is made and then weirdly edits it to seem like it’s still playing. Says everything you need to know.

 

[Lyng]

A man down?

Jensen is injured and we have used all 6

 

[buchansleftleg]

Taking Grealish off....watch Southgate clutch tension from the jaws of what should be a comfortable win now.

 

[JG3001]

To be fair, they said they probably looked at the secondary contact ie the ‘hip barge’ for the foul, as they acknowledged there was no trip from the first defender. Very Soft I know, just explaining the review
