Semi-finals | Spain vs France | Netherlands vs England

[buchansleftleg]

Acres of space on the left for England and no one occupying it.

The dutch are rocking here and should be put to the sword. Drop Foden for a winger to exploit it now....watch Koeman change it any moment to close the gaps.

 

[Zlatan 7]

The histrionics after it were total gamesmanship

Standard Harry Kane

 

[rimaldo]

bet on the replay that foden shot ends up being like that spurs non-goal against carroll all those years ago. corrupt officiating at its finest.

 

[africanspur]

The histrionics after it were total gamesmanship

That isnt the same as a dive though is it?

 

[Zen]

That decision has broken the Dutch... this game.

 

[Mike Smalling]

England is the far superior side.

 

[Norman Brownbutter]

Ref got his notifications turned off, check again.

Yeah, his bank notifications...

 

[Lee565]

Man city players have been absolutely gash for England in this tournament.

Mainoo is absolute class though and is England best midfielder (I class Bellingham as a 10/ false 9)

 

[CloneMC16]

Kane thinks he's playing left wing.

 

[Berbaclass]

Can't stand Kane, fecking diver.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Ref is having a mare.

 

[kouroux]

Kane is such a diver

 

[Chumpsbechumps]

Wasn’t a penalty and VAR incorrectly calling the ref back to review it was just abysmal. There’s nobody anywhere who would be happy if that peno was given against them. Kanes flailing like a Portuguese ballerina probably helped.

 

[VorZakone]

Mainoo is quality.

 

[Yagami]

Why is Foden still playing

Even if Southgate told us we wouldn't comprehend the answer. We are mere mortals, after all...

Mainoo, though

 

[saivet]

Netherlands lucky there, looked a foul on Foden

 

[2 man midfield]

Much better from England tonight

 

[tomaldinho1]

turning off this crap, not going to watch fixed games

Haha what? It’s a soft penalty, I’d argue it’s more a sad indicator of where the game is these days but it’s not that crazy.

 

[Superunknown]

Kane thinks he's playing left wing.

I thought that leg-breaker might have factory reset him.

 

[SB16]

Simons goal aside, England have been dominant

 

[whitbyviking]

Ref evening things up a bit there

 

[El Zoido]

That looked like a foul on Foden.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Dumfries is going to get sent off

 

[Pickle85]

Would anyone ever be happy with a pen given against them full stop?!

 

[Pink Moon]

I'm too busy watching the game to get in to a flown blown debate with a Jock who'll obviously have a bias against us but I'll say this.. as much as it was never a penalty, it isn't a dive is it? It's a referring howler, not an act of cheating so just settle down a tad.

Almost like my comment was taking more than just that one individual incident into account but yeah, I can't be bothered getting into a full blown debate with a coloniser who'll obviously play dumb instead of just saying 'yeah, we do dive a lot these days'.

 

[Stadjer]

Easy for you to diss me on the internet, what level did you play at mate?

You are right. Should have said that Memphis is beyond useless at this level. He would be good in the Eredivisie.

 

[Parma Dewol]

Mainoo is quality.

Class act. Unreal composure.

 

[ThinkTank@Cafe]

Yamal and Kobbie are future. Foden is a fraud

 

[Semper Fudge]

Ref evening things up a bit there

Yup. Clear foul.

 

[bosnian_red]

Netherlands need Frimpong on for Dumfries

 

[Cloud7]

This is the best England have looked all tournament

 

[Ali Dia]

Much better from England tonight

tactically Holland look way off it.

 

[Salt Bailly]

Clear foul on foden

 

[Zen86]

That Foden chance was all about Mainoo’s ball

 

[Erics_Collar]

If you thought United's movement off the ball was bad, look at this from the Dutch. Horrible!

 

[ArjenIsM3]

You seem confused

Been a long day but haven't gotten an answer yet

 

[Pink Moon]

That isnt the same as a dive though is it?

I didn't say he dived in that incident though

I said he's one of the biggest divers in world football. Which he is.

Just saw who you support though so fair enough. Next you'll be telling me all those times he undercuts someone in the air are actually him getting fouled too.

 

[Berbaclass]

This is the best England have looked all tournament

Not really saying much is it.

 

[Stadjer]

Dumfries is going to get sent off

100%. Time for Frimpong

 

[Pexbo]

Ref evening things up a bit there

It’s really really weird how referees do that rather than being consistently objective.
