Mate, if it were a bunch of diving twats like Spain or Italy there would be a silver lining to it.

Don't think the way Denmark went about stuff deserved that. They probably would have conceded anyway, better team won and all that. Not like that though, just plain wrong.
 
The amount of luck in game and in getting a draw of the century with shit teams and still scraping through because of own goals and a dodgy pen.

If england can't win it now then disband the national team and try out a british team with england, scotland, wales and northern ireland.

Think people are overreacting to the dive a bit. He went down waaay too easy, but he did get clipped there. The VAR was never going to overturn it. You can hardly blame players doing it either. It's a win-tie situation. No one books you for it unless it's super obvious.

He never got clipped.

Pen or no pen …England were deserved winners and could/should of scored more

No, they don't.

How do you know they would have scored?

I guess Henry double hand against Ireland was OK, France would have scored anyway, they were the better team.

Rooney’s red card and Ronaldo’s wink seem to have conveniently escaped your memory amidst all the outrage. Take a seat.

Enjoy the final
 
Okay someone shone a laser at Kasper during the penalty. Whatever fan did that should legitimately be banned for life. Atrocious behaviour there.
 
Too many cs go cheat codes lovers on here to fully appreciate this result given the shenanigans.
 
Credit to Denmark, they did well but it was clear they ran out of gas by around the middle of the second half. Overall, England deserved to win, though once again they weren't particularly great.

I expect Italy to shithouse their way to a 1-0 win in a final.

Portugal are IMO the biggest cheats in world football so the fact you managed to use one incident where they actually didn't cheat is incredible. Rooney kicked him in the balls.
 
Really good to see all the anti-England posters in tears, as if your teams never get soft decisions given to them. IMO, Denmark's free kick for their goal was as soft as the penalty, so dry your tears and cheer up because we all know Italy will beat England.

What utter crap, his United career is fine. He has been carrying injuries and will miss the start of the season, but will get back straight in once he is available.

Where has he been this Euro ? Where was he against Villareal ? He’s been largely awful for 6 months or more. Glad you’ve got more faith than I have because Rashford is no kid anymore, he’s an experienced footballer and if he’s to reach the heights of a genuinely great player, for club and country, then he needs to get his skates on.

He is a good - perhaps very good on occasions - player but that’s nothing like good enough for international level and I’d argue it isn’t good for a club who’s benchmark should be excellence on a more consistent level than Rashford seems capable of.

You're comparing a questionable penalty decision (they've been given before btw) to a blatantly cheating handball?

It would be fairer if you compared Henry's handball to Maradonna's handball in 86.
 
Get in! Not the prettiest of games but England are going to a major final! :devil: Enjoy the weekend no matter what happens everyone!

THREE LIONSSSSS ON THE SHIRT :devil:

As a dane its weird to see.
I think most danish fans are just proud of what the lads achieved and that they managed to put up a good fight for some part of the match, especially given how tired I believe they where after the Baku match.
England deserve to be in the final.

No thanks.

:lol: Henry now being compared, got to love this.

No you're right, Denmark were all over England, had the most chances, most shots, dominated and England stole it. Totally undeserved win. Justice against FIFA and refs needs to be trending worldwide.

If this will help you sleep better tonight.

Was going to say the same thing! Soft decision but comparing it to Henry is laughable :lol:

He's. Not. Fit. And. Needs. Surgery.

It's not rocket science.

It's the same thing, France was superior to Ireland, they would have scored anyway.

I'm using the same logic.

Also, there is VAR...no way you can give that penalty with VAR.I would understand it 15-20 years ago, not now.

Quite clearly been carrying an injury as has been confirmed many times. Probably getting surgery after the Euros to which he arguably shouldn't have gone for the sake of his health. Was a surefire starter under Southgate since the WC when fit.

To get to the semi-finals after losing Erkisen in the worst way possible, and losing your first two group games, was nothing short of incredible.

Those penalties have been given every week at all levels of football for the last 12 months. 2 players jumped in front of him, he had control of the ball and ran past them before one unbalanced him with a clumsy foot and the other ran into his thigh. How did he cheat?

Really? Was it in a semi final? Read what I wrote again.

The fact that you’ve resorted to that shows you have nothing left to flap your gums about. Why does it matter if it was semi or quarter finals. Your moral high ground is now completely sub-merged

By.....celebrating their team reaching the first final most of us have ever seen England play in? By most of us acknowledging that it was a very soft award?

What would the Danish/Italian/Spanish fans have done? Ran onto the pitch and stopped their player from scoring?

I'm was referring to fans on here and the responses to even fairly mild disagreements with the penalty call.

You guys played an amazing tournament, especially considering the circumstances of the 1st game. Can be incredibly proud of the team and their performances I think.

Thank you Sir. We're 10'th in the fifa rankings, so I expected the team to do well. I am however jealous, because of the unused talent England has on the bench. The three most used forwards in the Danish lineup has 145 games between them, but only 30 goals. So if we had players like England, I think we would be better.

In general I feel that the danish game is a credit to the game of football. Whereas the English style is pretty boring when you consider the talent you lot have available. Perhaps the best attacking players of any national team in the world.

Before you guys draw the bad loser card, I accept that you were the better team. Go on and win the title!
