Semi-Finals: Italy vs Spain | England vs Denmark

He is playing through injury, do you have trouble reading. He is not going to be chosen for England when there is a wealth of choices of fully fit players to choose from. He was one of Southgate's first choice pick when fit. As for villareal, he was on the same pitch as the rest of the players. The goal came from his deflected shot that went to Cavani btw.

It is not faith, just a fact that he is a top player, and no he has not been awful, he has not been at his best for the past few months, but the same can be said for a few of our other players as well. He has shown he can perform, and he is going nowhere. And if England selection is your criteria, then I guess Grealish and Sancho are just as bad by your logic.


if he has an injury that is so debilitating then both OGS and Southgate, if we fail against Italy, should be answerable as to what they were doing starting and taking a player in a major final and at a major tournament. I’d love to see him finally come of age as a footballer but he’s never ever going to be top drawer - in my opinion. .
 
Must have been the same lunatic that promoted you. Calm down and enjoy the final.
Re-using the joke I made against you? For someone named "Sly", that's quite obvious. Bitch.
 
No way this is a pen, imo of course, but it's pointless to argue. Enjoy the final. It was incredible when Portugal won in 2016 in contrast with 2004. You will know the feeling next Sunday.

I am sorry as I think you seem quite balanced here but they (and even weaker pens) are given literally every week. Whether they should be or not is a valid argument but whilst they are it has to be looked at as fair that it was given. Thank you kindly anyway, I am nervous as hell!
 
I can’t be bothered to find the thread, but did the fans boo England for taking a knee tonight? I didn’t notice it at the time, but was probably on my phone or something.
 
It's not bitter to lose to a better team. And England were the best team from the second half onwards.

But it was still bitter to lose that way; For a long time there were 2 balls on the field when Sterling got his penalty kick and the game should have stopped according to the rules. Next, Sterling dives. There was no contact between him and Mæhle. It's bitter to lose on cheating in a semifinal, and VAR should have spotted it. If the Italians throw themselves to the ground by any touch in the final, the English can not complain. Sterling dived at the penalty kick, and several English players tried to appeal for a penalty kick at the slightest touch during the match.

England and France have the 2 best national teams in Europe right now, if you only look at the quality of the players. So it's no shame to lose to England, but the way it happened..... Denmark had deserved a penalty shootout
 
The silly thing is the fact a team who hasn't been in a final for 55 year is going to be mocked relentlessly for losing to a team who in recent time has been massively massively more successful and who are favourites.
Yeah but we deserve to be mocked because we had an empire once or something.

Yeah, it was every other nationality that's not English judging by this thread.
 
Have we ever seen Kane take a worse penalty? It was so bad and against such a good GK as well and it still went in. If that’s not fate then I dunno what it is.

It was not a joke and the white text really proves my point. I shouldn't been a scout and you shouldn't been promoted.
 
Arguing with someone on an internet forum and youre worried about looking like an idiot??

Mods, I accept my warning.

You are a legit dickhead who is sad enough to try and wind people up on an internet forum. It is actually embarrassing and I feel a little ashamed that I humoured it for as long as I did. Bye now, final to look forward to. :boring:

I feel like we're at an impasse here.
 
Just wondering if it's worth Henderson starting on Sunday. Phillips and Rice were great in phases but in others struggled.

The back line is another question. 5 or 4? Then who plays with Sterling and Kane?

Maguire, Shaw and Sterling all deserve a shout for player of the tournament. Shaw has been so good since coming in.

Forget about winning the midfield battle against Varretti-Barela-Jorginho-Loccatelli, Southgate needs to focus on attacking Italian flanks which is their weakness.
 
No, you shouldn’t say that because it makes you sound like a conspiracy theory believing lunatic.
Because history has no previous of 'conspiracies' becoming facts..

Halfo redcafe post match threads are filled with 'a bent ref' posts. Stop being such hypocrites.

I still think Henderson is better at avoiding the press and finding the out ball for us to counter.
