England v Denmark | Euro 2020 Semi Final

[mancity2012_eamo]

Regarding the penalty!
I don’t think Raheem dived.
I don’t think there was contact enough from either defender on its own to take him down but combined had him off balance.
A slight collision from the second guy had him hit the ground.

Maybe he didn’t need much encouragement, but when I saw it at real speed I thought the first defenders contact was a brushing of legs that meant the second contact had him unbalanced.

Looking through VAR in slow-mo it’s debatable whether there was contact by the first defender but I’ve seen these given all year.

The game should have been stopped for two balls on the pitch anyway so VAR wouldn’t have come into it.

Regardless, England deserved the win in my opinion.
I think you have the squad to win it overall but it can be frustrating at times seeing how conservative Southgate can be.
Let’s see if he changes it a bit against Italy because he would be playing a dangerous game against them putting that non midfield out.

I don’t think you can afford to hand them control.

As a neutral though I would have more interest in You vThem than the Danes.

Honestly don’t care who wins. Best of luck to you though.

well we all seen the impact for the subs tonight,and against Germany with Grealish but my guess he wont start with either on sunday,if the game is 0-0 and it can go either way he's happy,hey but who's me to say that after getting to the final

Germany won the world Cup 7 years ago mate, Bellingham was 10, this German said were very average, they were 5 minutes away from going out in the groups to Hungary. All I'm saying is if we had known the draw before it started, everybody would be saying we should be getting to the final.

Fair enough. All about opinions. Football not played on paper tho

Reckon he’s actually really buzzing tonight mate!!!

Yes he wil be happy he did not get that pen for City or he would be a diving twat to most non City fans, very soft pen .

Wright clearly upset there, weird how they brushed it off.

Can't get worked up over England in the same way as I do over City. Five minutes of the CL final, tonight's game I watched all the way through, even the penalty.
Having said that I thought England played well tonight. Walker and Stones were excellent and although Slabhead and Shaw will receive all the hype Southgate will know that the defence doesn't function without Kyle and Johnny.
Raz was excellent and definitely looks a better player on the right plus Phil had a great cameo but he still needs to work on taking corners.
Kane looks like he is going to be our next penalty taker but he needs to:
a) Stop being so greedy as that really pisses Pep off
b) Keep out of midfield or Kev will want to talk.

Should be a good final but England need to score first.

The main reason for my cheering of Italy is our former manager. Seems appropriate enough

Then why not support our 4 current players in England squad

The writing was on the wall for Germany when Spain beat them 6-0. They're a very poor side by German standards over the past 50 years.

That said, you can only beat whoever is in front of you... the draw is the draw. We'll never know if England would have got through the other half of the draw, and it doesn't actually matter.

On the displays of all the teams in the tournament, Italy and England have been the best overall, and deserve to be in the final.

Just enjoy it.
